while in sole charge of DS aged 3.8? DD is 5mo and has been ill and is therefore still waking throughout the night. I get up with her cos she's ebf, so last night for example fed at 11pm, 2.30am, 5.50am and 8am. DS woke at 6.15am and I put him back to bed 3 times before his groclock went off at 6.45am, all while trying to feed DD. (I feed DD in her room cos she's a noisy sleeper and keeps me awake if she's in with us, but this means DH is in the other room from us (in our room) if DS wakes. DH could sleep through an earthquake so it's easier for me if I'm up with DD to just put DS back to bed than get up and go and wake him and get him to do it)
Anyway, DH takes DS downstairs to the lounge for breakfast at 7am to let me sleep for an hour. When I go downstairs DS has ripped all the pages out of 2 of his story books, books that were mine as a child, now out of print. I'm not really blaming DS, he's only little and didn't know they were special (although a bit disappointed he thinks that's what you do to books). So, I asked DH why he didn't stop him before he'd ripped all the pages out of 2 whole books and he says he fell asleep. I'm so fucking annoyed. The man is in bed for 8 fucking hours a night and he can't stay awake for an hour an a half between 7 and 8.30? What if DS had gone into the kitchen and climbed up on a chair and turned the hob on or got a knife? "Oh, I'd have heard him open the door, I'm not that deeply asleep" Deeply enough fucking asleep to not hear the RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPP! of some 40 odd pages.
AIBU?
