We have a 2 months old, I am as every mum taking care of him mostly which is not a problem for me. I have been dealing with postpartum and sleep deprivation really bad and we decided he will also take care of night shift. Now when he is taking care of night shift he is asking me to wake him up because he doesn’t hear the baby. I can do that. But most of the time he is not asleep in our room. He is watching tv, playing game or I don’t know else, but basically he doesn’t sleep and he will give the bottle let say at 5am and then sleep until noon, 2pm. I still have to text him or let him know the baby is ready for feeding. Which obviously then I am up. And have a really hard time to go back to sleep. He is not working. So that’s my main issue… he is relying on me when I should be the one relying on him. I’m complaining a lot about it because I still have to get up to take care of our son since he is exhausted of not sleeping and I have to work from home. And kinda take care of stuff in the house. Now I’m not saying he is not doing anything, he is taking care of stuff around the house. But mostly at night. Basically he gets annoyed of me complaining of not feeling supported at night and mornings. It’s really hard to be sleep deprived, taking care of a baby, work in the same time when your husband is snoring next room until noon.
