So my OH drops off to sleep at the drop off a hat. Often on the sofa with lights on, tv blaring etc. Same in bed, I’m often lying awake for ages and sleeping light cos of the baby (5mths) and within minutes he’s zzz!
Now I have a plug in nightlight in the upstairs hallway between our bedroom and the nursery, baby is now in her cot in her room at nights. However she wakes at least once in the night so I have to go into her as DH is working the next day (and even when he’s not it mostly falls to me as he doesn’t wake up!). The light is not a bright floodlight by any means but it’s enough for me to see where I’m going and see what the baby is doing without turning on any lights and waking her fully.
Now, my DH insists that it keeps him awake and he can’t possibly sleep with it on and wants to keep turning it off. This really pisses me off as I’m the one bloody getting up and dealing with her and will be stumbling around. He took himself off in a huff last night downstairs and slept on the sofa as I refused to turn it off. He didn’t even TRY going to sleep, just lay there moaning and then huffed off with his pillow 🤣 He’s asked this morning to find an alternative to it as he “can’t help it, it just stops me sleeping” which is absolute bollocks. I said if he wants an alternative then he can bloody find one but until then it stays on.
AIBU?
