To think DH isn't 'sleep trashed'

Despite what he might be telling his friends/family on the phone when they ask how he's getting on, because in the 2 weeks that our newborn DC2 has been at home he has got up with them in the night precisely 0 times, and only got up to DC1 last night after I'd spent an hour dealing with toddler shenanigans and begged him to intervene.

I can hear him now complaining to his DSis about how tired he is and I really want to go in and throw things at him.

I would ask him in front of people why he is so tired and see what he says

No one wins the competitive tiredness game

I do. Because I got two hours sleep last night and watched him snoring for the rest of the night while feeding DC2.

Actually I think op wins the competitive tiredness game. That would annoy me too op - what he should say to his sis is 'I'm tired but jamon is exhausted so can't really complain'

People are asking about his sleep because they expect him to be pulling his weight. And he's too embarrassed to admit he's work-shy and selfish enough to have you do it all. To let you have to beg for an hour to deal with the toddler and you on only 2 hours sleepAngry

You need to talk to him and what he does with that will tell you everything need to know

Clubcuts · 02/07/2018 06:33

Why did you even have to ask him to get up to DC1? He should've just done that and take DC2 down in the morning to let you catch up some sleep.

Actually you deffo win competitive tiredness competition! Hands bloody down!

I'd be annoyed too of his bragging while you actually are doing everything. He really should be doing his fair share with his DC.
Men seem to exaggerate on so many things: height, penis, wealth, housework, child care.

Yeah remembering put your skiddy shorts in the laundry one time isn't "doing all the laundry"
