to want DH to get up with DS?

I've been away with DS (15m) for a few days. Night times were awful; he woke frequently and (unusually for him) stayed awake for hours at a time. He also woke for the day at 5/6am, again unusual for him.

I got back yesterday. DH did the 1 night waking last night and got up with him this morning at 6.30. He's just asked me whether I want to do night wakings or get up with DS tomorrow.

AIBU to want him to do both since I've just done both for 4 nights and morning? I know it probably sounds petty but I am beyond tired from being up all night and then up so early. He's had 4 full nights' sleep, 4 lie ins and 4 days of pleasing himself. Is a full night's sleep and lie in an unreasonable request?

YANBU. Tell him he's on DS duty for tonight and tomorrow, then back to normal after that.

4 full days of pleasing himself? YABU, poor bloke must be knackered! Wink

Just realised you haven't said if you and/or DH WOH, and if you do are you both off all weekend? When do you go back, and who works what hours? Has a big impact on whether YABU or not!

I told him and he seemed shitty about it. Git.

Haha Featherbag, I did wonder if it sounded dutty when I typed it!

We both WOH, I do Mon-Weds, he does Mon-Fri. We're both out of the house 7.30am-6.30pm on Mon-Weds. No work for either of us on bank holidays, so back Weds. We split wakings Mon-Weds (obviously we're both up in the mornings. Although he disappears to the toilet while I sort DS Hmm ). I do nights and mornings on Thurs and Fri. At the weekend we take it in turns, so he'll do a night and I do the morning and then we switch.

So normally we would split it that way, but I am feeling slightly resentful after 4 shitty nights!

DP says he says your DH should give you one more night off and lie in.
