Completely willing to accept if its me that's being unreasonable as I'm so fed up of having this same argument with my DP.

I'm currently on maternity leave, we have a poor sleeping baby and are both tired. This of course makes us irritable and snappy and we both think that the other person wont see their view point etc!

This is the issue, he works evenings (but only till half 11so not nights or anything) and then thinks its perfectly acceptable to stay up most of the night watching Tv/playing on his phone and then falling into bed about 4am. He is obviously then tired and sleeps in until I shout him repeatedly and he gets out of bed about 11.30/12pm. He then arses about for a bit, plays with the baby, gets ready, has running around to do and then goes to work,.

I feel like I'm living with a teenager, doing 95% of the housework and most of the childcare. Even when I'm in the house and he is looking after the baby he asks me so many bloody questions that I might as well be doing it myself!

So yesterday it all blew up, he got up with the baby in the morning after I had asked him (So a good start!) I was up by 9am so its not like I took the piss. Then I came down and did the millions of jobs that always seem to need doing. He then muttered something about being really tired and went back to bed for a 4 hour nap!!!!!!

Something similar happens every couple of weeks, he seems to think this is acceptable and I don't. I think he should go to bed earlier if hes tired, he said he can go to bed whenever he likes and its non of my business.

So 36 hours over, what, five days?

So does he work 3pm - 11pm?

Could you simply remind him that in a couple of months he will be up with the baby every morning so he might want to get some practice while you're still available to advise?
