E.g in our household:
[after 2 whole weeks in which I have sat with tearful DS for up to 3 hours every night bar one. My DH earns the crust and so currently sleeps in the spare room. He sat with DS for just one night, and has had about 2 or 3 bad nights out of the past 14]
Conversation goes:
Me: I'm so exhausted. 2 weeks of 4 hours' sleep a night is taking its toll.
DH: So am I.
What I was hoping for:
Me: I'm so exhausted. 2 weeks of 4 hours' sleep a night is taking its toll.
DH: You poor thing, I'm not surprised. And I'm tired, too.
Can you spot the difference? Am I asking too much here?

...to hope (or even expect) that when you tell someone "I'm knackered because of xyz" they should then respond to what you've said rather than redirecting the conversation to themselves?
