Husband gets to nap 😫😡

Same thing happens with my husband 😩 like I hear you snoring all night what do you mean you want to nap? And then it’s such a long nap too ugh

Im so sorry you’re going through this.. I was going through something similar, not as extreme, but what worked for me was kinda playing dumb, meaning I would let the baby cry for a couple mins and act like I was doing something so he was forced to help me, or sometimes I would let the cries wake him up instead of me.. kinda messed up but it worked😅

Force him to help you and remind him it is his baby too!! He should be helping you❤️ you got this! Sometimes men forget to think about us, and instead of arguing try different ways to make him help and understand you need rest too:)

Dump him with baby when he wakes up and say “I’m going to go take a nap” and just walk off. If he kicks up a fuss just laugh at him and keep walking 🫶🏽

I probably would wake him up after like an hr and say I need help

@Isabella reading this as my partner is snoring his head off right beside me, like I get he works and gets up really early but I'm like the fuck? It takes me a long time to fall asleep personally as I spent most the night nudging him to stop snoring so I have a window to fall asleep but then he snores seconds after I don't know how I fall asleep. Then I'm looking after 2 kids all day on my own and he sometimes comes home and naps because he's tired. Like you got more sleep than me how the fuck are you tired😂

How about one time when he goes for a nap, give him 1 hour to have a nap. Go to the room where he's napping wake him up! If this doesn't work set a handful of alarms a minute apart on your phone putting it beside him on the bed, or im assuming you have a cot in the room? Put baby down in the room in the cot and you go to either a different room to nap if you have more than one bed available or nap on the couch??

I take naps. I nap when the baby naps, and if baby wakes and he’s home and I’m not ready to get up then he takes the baby and let’s me nap. He can nap, but then it’s my turn. Fair is fair

Honestly never had this.. my partner sometimes comes home from work and takes over and I’ll nap for 2 hours.. or I’ll take my son upstairs and we will nap together and he on multiple occasions has woken us up when dinner is ready.. but I’ve also been in the position where I’ve told him I don’t think he does enough and need help.. voice what you need and push on that.. we need our sleep more than them, we spend hours alone with our babies including all through the night.. we deserve those naps! If that doesnt work, on multiple occasions I’ve brought our crying son into our room during the night to settle on purpose to wake him up😂 then we can both be tired(my partner would never nap during the day)

My husband can barely watch our son for more than 10 mins while I go to the bathroom. I was lucky enough to get 2 hours of extra sleep yesterday morning only because his mom was home and she could help if he needed it.

I feel you girl! I ask my boyfriend to put down are son to nap and he falls asleep with him for contact nap , which is fine but when I go to end the nap he retreats to bedroom to “finish” his nap and is gone for 2 more hours whilst I cleaned and did chores during my so called “ break “ I get aggravated and say the same thing! They just do t get what we do all day with our babies and that we always put ourselves last. No advice here, just know your not alone 

Why can't you take a nap? I took a 6hr nap when my baby was about 3 months old, my fiance actually encouraged it! Lol

Just wake him up at night and make him help you. I don't know why people put up with this.

@Kelly then your husband is just useless, sorry! Its so stupid that grown ass men can't look after their own kids! My fiance had our baby by himself for a whole weekend at 3 months old as I went to my brothers wedding!

@Becky I know right?! Myself and my fiance share nights at the min, it's the only way! Thankfully she generally only wakes once

If my other half falls asleep on the sofa I refuse to let him go for a nap. He’s fallen asleep on the sofa so I should be the one to go up for a nap not him x

@Becky most nights, he works at 5am for work.

@Rebecca I've been the sole carrier of our son for the last 4 months. He'll help make bottles when I need them. Watch him for 5-10 mins so I can go to the bathroom. He hasn't watched him for more than an hour. I was lucky to get 2 hours of extra sleep on Saturday, but that was only because his mom was home so she could help if he needed

@Becky because by the time I’ve woken my husband up to “help” I’m already awake and have lifted myself out of bed to tend to the baby, so by that point I might as well do it all myself?! My husband sleeps through anything and genuinely can’t help it. It drives me insane but what do you suggest i do? Leave him?! Quite unrealistic.
