I haven’t had a proper 6-8 hours sleep not one night in two years, while my partner sleeps in separate room peacefully. I breastfeed and co sleep with my daughter, I love it but some nights i just wish I could get at least few hours of sleep. I wake up every hour, this last month have been horrible.
@Ati same here, up all the time. So hard, isn’t it.
@Emily yeah it’s just so full on, isn’t it.
Ugh similar situation as we just added a baby to the family and I have always ddone the larger share of my now 3 year olds routines. Now I have my husband doing bedtime so I can breastfeed all night and its been terrible!! 4 months of major sleep struggles! He now has to cosleep and my son doesnt go to bed till 10 (had a solid 7 pm bedtime his whole life) its beyond frustrating. He wants me to carry him over dad, wont ask dad for food just me. Its hard not to have major resentment. I personally think we as moms just try harder sorry not sorry but I dont see my husband calculating times or planning to make sure we have happy full bellies. Every little interaction builds your childs bond and these men be slacking 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I dont have much advice Just here struggling too and frustrated hes messed up my sons perfect schedule lol and also my son acts out a tonnnn with him! Threw his phone in the pool about 5 times (not something he would do) and much more 🤦♀️🤦♀️
@Sarah same with mine. As mothers we take the major load, so men have time to think and fuss about which party, boys out they missed while we barely have time to look in the mirror.
My little girl has been very attached to me from day 1 and it’s the same situation if I’m not in the house it’s fine but if I’m there it’s got to be me. Until very recently I did all bed times but we started alternating because I just couldn’t do it anymore and it’s taken time but she will let him put her to sleep now. Otherwise I’d go out for the evening come back and she’d be awake waiting for me. I’m now pregnant again and very very sick so there has been no other choice than him doing a lot more and our daughter has kind of had to accept it. There have been a lot of tears and I feel absolutely awful a lot of the time, and if I wasn’t so ill I don’t think we would have got here, but I think because I’ve had to do less it has definitely bonded the both of them more. I’d still consider her very clingy to me but it’s more manageable than it was before. But I get how you feel it’s exhausting being the one they always want and if they need comfort you know how to solve it quickly.
