Really annoyed at my husband

Usually my husband has today off but he had to do some work at home for a few hours. And usually when he is off he will take the baby for a few hours in the morning so I can catch up on sleep since I do night shift and have been from the very beginning because he’s a heavy sleeper. I literally listen to him snoring all night. He knows I need help in the day/morning when he’s scat but will still sleep late. And I let him sleep in for an hour or 2 in the morning even tho I’m exhausted just so he’s rested enough to watch her. I just don’t trust him if he’s sleepy to watch her cause of how heavy he sleeps. Anyway I was hoping to either get more rest or get some chores done when he was done with work but now he’s napping. And it makes me so frustrated when he naps cause like you got a full nights rest! I have t had a full nights sleep since she was born. And his naps aren’t short. They are always 2+ hours and when I try to wake him he just goes back to sleep…I get he works and is tired but imagine how I feel… I’m exhausted day in and day out. I also want him to spend more quality time with her since he barely sees her during the week cause he works long days. But no it feels like he’s always giving her back to me just cause she’s a little fussy.. and I hate when I go to check on them and he’s just looking at his phone while shes staring at him wanting his attention. Why is it so hard for you to just spend time with her and play with her. It makes me so sad. And yet he wants another one.. of course you do cause I do everything for her. So annoying.

Don't let him nap. Give your daughter to him as soon as he has finished his work and say that you are going for a nap.

Aghhhhh I understand this feeling…. I get annoyed at my husband for the same thing!! I feel like I can't rest I don't even remember the last time I had a dream because I keep waking up every 4 hours or 2…. But he's still the one that's tired in the morning. I understand he works but it would be nice if they could be considered and take more responsibility with their kids for us moms to have a break and rest. I feel like I can't even use the bathroom without a baby needing me or me checking if they're good… We don't get lunch breaks and relax We don't lock out, we don't have breakfast lunch, and dinner made. I'm grateful for my husband but sometimes all we need is for them to see how tired WE are and to give us a break…

@Aleyda yes we sacrifice so much I really wish they’d see that and step in and sacrifice some sleep for us etc. I’m sorry you’re experiencing the same thing. It sucks so much so irritating to hear the words “I’m tired” 😩
