My 5 week old crying at night for a feed or other reasons doesn't wake my OH when it's "his turn". It's not that he's pretending either and he isn't prone to ignoring the baby. He's just a heavy sleeper.
Thing is I have to wake up, to wake him up and he's one of these people you have to shake/kick/hold nose to get a response so then he's pissed off at me. And most the time he drifts instantly back to sleep so I'm there for 15mins trying to wake him I might as well just do it myself. He gets to sleep through "my turns" but I have to wake up regardless.
To make up for it he let's me have a lie in when he's off work but then my sleeping pattern is a mess and nothing in the house gets done (typical "I can only focus on the children when I have the children" attitude).
He wants me to go on a night out and enjoy myself which I would like, but now don't trust him to even feed the baby at night time
Anyone else suffered with this or managed to work around it? I'm so tired
