We have a 7 month old that doesn't sleep at night. It's been an issue from the start.
I'm breastfeeding and I usually deal with ds on a night and that's fine. He's my last baby (have 2 older dcs) and I actually sometimes enjoy the night feeds and the cuddles. We have a very close bond.
However he's teething and last night he was just so unsettled. I'd already been up with him a good couple of hours. It got to 3.30 am and ds started crying. Dh told me to just put him back in his cot.
My reply to that was something along the lines of 'well maybe you could try settle him?'
Dh then snapped back 'what is it you want me to do? What am I supposed to do?'
So then my reply was 'maybe just give me a break and help me once in a while'
Dh just rolled over and went to sleep. I sat sobbing for a good half an hour.
Ds started crying again and dh again told me to put him in his cot. I said no.
Dh then took him off me and tried to get him to sleep but didn't work so I took him back and he went to sleep for the rest of the night. I said to dh that i needed to ask him for help and what's so wrong with that. Dh said he doesn't know why I ask as ds would never settle with him anyway - ds has separation anxiety with me which can make things tricky. He doesn't like anyone to hold him but me.
This morning dh didn't speak to me. Clearly still pissed off that I've asked him for help. He went off to work and I sent him a text asking why he is so mad at me for asking him for help.
He replied but about something totally different.
I'm so tired this morning and can't even think straight. I've still had to get up and do the school run etc etc. I can't just have a lie in.
So when dh comes in tonight I need to have it clear what I want to say to him which is he's a massive prick and I'd rather him just not come home.
