We have two dc.the 1st was never a great sleeper,but has settled down apart from some nights when she suffers from nightmares.
ds is a good sleeper usually, however, is teething and has a cough and a cold.
As a result i'm up at least once with him.Sometimes 2 or 3 times and if the dd has nightmares...you can imagine how i feel the next day!!
my dh goes to work at 9.30..so, if the kids get up at 7-8 am i've been trying to rest/sleep until 9 am,while he gives them breakfast.
This morning,we are all suffering from cold and coughs..and I've been up in the night again.
I asked dh to take them down..and he started shouting at me basically saying he was dying (man flu)and was i having another' lie in'?
and i should be used to getting up in the night by now and be fine to get the kids up!???
Like i said no one feels well, but of course,being a man,he feels much worse than us.
I feel really hurt that he obviously resents me staying in bed if i've had to be up in the night.
If it was the other way around, i would encourage him to try and recoup some of the sleep he'd lost in the night.we all now how lack of sleep can effect you.
I'm pissed off and now feel like i can't stay in bed.It's not like I'm having a fucking leisurely, lengthly lie-in!I try and get 30 mins or so to try and be able to function through the day!
he's gone back to bed now and i'm sitting here fuming.
we're supposed to be best friends,can't believe he's acted like this.
so AIBU?
