To be annoyed at partner and to think he could've got up with DS?

[Selleron]

I'm on my period and I've got bad cramps. DS has been getting up at 5:30/6 recently but last night he kept waking up in the night (he's teething) and I kept going to settle him. This morning when he woke up i asked partner to get up with him as I didn't sleep much and I'm also in pain because of the cramps and he said he's got a headache. I'm now exhausted and annoyed as surely he could've got up with DS!

Do you usually with DS? In which case, yes, he’s being unreasonable. If not, you might be trapped in the dreaded I’ve got it worse than you scenario

Well if you’re both unwell it’s about the same for you both isn’t it.

Yes of course he could have got up, he could not be arsed though and knew you would if he didn't.

YANBU, make sure he does it tomorrow.

@Checkingout811 except OP was the one getting up in the night with him so it isn’t fair or equal is it,
Her DP is an arse

Except she’s been the one getting up in the night checkingout, so no, it isn’t the same.

One parent with cramps and one with a headache, one gets up in the night to tend to a teething baby and then up at 530, one sleeps through and gets a lie in. Really not the same at all

Yes, I usually get up with him apart from occasionally when partner gets up with him.

Yes hes a lazy bastard that should get up with his kid if youve been getting up all through the night and most mornings.
So many men act like theyre an occasional helper rather than parent

He should be getting up to spend time with his child more often than “occasionally”. Chuck some paracetamol at him and go back to bed.

You’ve got period pain and you had a broken night. He shouldn’t be so selfish.

In which case, yes he’s being completely unreasonable.

What a lazy arse. DH and I have always had an agreement that we do one get up and each on the weekend so the other one gets a lie in (unless one of us has been up all night with a child or is ill). Tell him that’s what will be happening from now on!
