sorry, bit of a long title there.
ok so, DS2 is 8months at the end of October and has never slept through the night. we've tried a few things (when i say we i mean 'i've') I'm breastfeeding and i usually just put him straight onto breast when he wakes up to get him back to sleep and then lay him down again. As much i dont really mind this, i'm absolutely shattered and cant rest during day because of DS1.
So he had his 8month review yesterday, everything was fine except this sleeping thing. so the Paed nurse gave some suggestions to try at night, however they all involved DF having to get up and comfort babe so that he didn;t smell me. He was a bit like 'well why should i get up with him, i've got to work the next day!' So he did get up the first time with him. the other thing about my DF is tht he has no patience and things have be right first time. So he settled him, took about 15mins and then 20mins later he was back up again. DF was swearing to high heaven and was really huffy about gettin up. i had explained to him that it would be hard and the reasnos as to why i couldn't go to him.
AM i being unreasonable? should it be me that gets up? We're both obviously a bit tired this morning, but he was really short tempered with the kids. we're having our own problems anyway. this just reinforces the fact that i dont like his parenting methods. Can it work if you both differ so much?
Sorry it's so long
