to be angry with my DH?

[CoolaSchmoola]

DD (11 months) is a little unsettled at the moment, we're packing up to move, I've gone back to work for a couple of afternoons a week, she's started with a childminder (NDN so not a total unknown) and she's not sleeping properly.

So far tonight she's been in bed three hours and woken up six times crying.

And the bloody DH is in the kitchen bashing about knowing that she has only just gone off again! He's slammed two cupboard doors, dropped cutlery in the sink, banged the bin and used the really loud beepy microwave in 30 second bursts, letting it complete it's ear piercing "finished" beeps every single time even though he's stood next to it and could press stop....

Now he's come through with a plate of food, and turned the fucking tv up!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Leave him.

It's the only way.

You are very tolerant, take the food off him and send him upstairs to deal with HIS DD!!

YABU - babies sleep through most things. You introduce an unnatural quite and they wake up with out the hub-bub of a household

- at least it would be quiet lol!

He's just dropped his glass on the side table (HOW?!) in the lounge and the noise was so loud it came through the baby monitor in the bedroom. We live in a solid German house with foot deep concrete upstairs floors!

Mmm...I don't hold up to creeping around for babies. I never did it.

Mind you - if I was getting no peace like you, I'd probably be murderous!

If he wakes her, he sees to her.

Jumping - she has slept through from five weeks - she is one in a fortnight.

The past few days due to changes going on everywhere (we're moving countries) she is unsettled. So for the past few days she has not slept through anything. At all.

It's not like I expect him to be quiet all the time - I usually hoover when she naps, but for a couple of days, when she's waking up to any noise at all, I'm BU to expect him to keep it down when I've just got her back to sleep for the sixth time?

you seems stressed and the baby is picking up on it, have a nice or and relax.

Have you tried telling him that OP? Might help!

What bit of Shhh! Don't grown men not understand.

I have much older DDs who tend to go to bed when they are tired generally, but not always the younger one first.

DH will still chatter about life the universe and everything to me or the non sleeping DD at full volume while walking past their bedrooms.

If they've turned their light out they want to go to sleep!

Pictish - I have never crept around either, due to being on an apnoea monitor she has always napped in the same room I've been in, so is used to sleeping through normal day to day noise, hoovering, washer, tv, dog barking etc.

But literally the past couple of days she's been like this and only at night, possibly because she's upstairs on her own, and everything around her is changing.

I didn't moan at him the first few times she was up tonight, but by number six, yes I was pissed when he just kept crashing about.

Just had the same problem with my DH, children just gone to be, and he's on the phone using is outside voice inside, I've told him if he does'nt shut up, I'm going to stick bloody sellotape over his mouth.
