My other half is by no stretch of the imagination a quiet person. Bangs around a lot.
Every night he has been waking baby up but refuses to accept it. He always stays up later than us or is out on a night when he comes back in he crashes and clings around so much so that baby wakes up but he will not accept it.
We live in a small open plan ish house (eg no door from stairs to living room.) Baby's room is above kitchen.
I will wash up after tea and leave anything else until morning but he will bang about despite my repeated requests.
I honestly feel like I'm losing my mind as every morning now and every single night we are having the same argument but he will not discuss it like an adult just resorts to childish insults and then says "I'll be quiet" it never changes.
This has being going on a month. Before that for one reasons or another baby wasn't really in own room as we were away a lot.
When I went to my parents she did big stretches in own room there as they have bigger house and her room is quiet.
Daughter can sleep in day with noise but my argument is that she's used to sleeping with noise in the day and it's different at night. As it would be for adults I suppose I can sleep with noise in the day... but not at night. I'd wake up.
He says she needs to learn. My argument is how can she learn if he won't let her practice.
I've asked him to sleep at his mums one night so I can see whether I'm right... he won't.
I end up so angry and my anger just bubbles away while I'm. Say feeding her and trying to get her back in the cot that I bring her in our bed because we both get some sleep.
He then has the audacity to say "you need to just persevere getting her in her own cot. Just stay up and get her back don't bring her in our bed"
My back hurts and I don't sleep properly when Co sleeping but this just angers me even more because it would be a lot easier for me to persevere with getting her in her own room if she woke up naturally and I wasn't dwelling on him being a noisy prat and waking her up.
My anger is just bubbling away and we are arguing a lot. I feel like since having a baby my life has changed inexplicably and his just has not....
