So as not to drip feed I am currently on mat leave. I have a 10 month old who recently started sleeping through the night.
Prior to this I would always be the one to get up with him during the night.
My DH and I share waking up with the baby in the mornings. He is an early riser (5 30 am).
I tend to go to bed at about 10 30, but my DH cant really fall asleep until 12. Dh is currently working from home.
Dh thinks that he is doing something special that most fathers dont do by sharing mornings. He also shares the housework and pays Bill's (stat mat pay- we both agreed I would go on mat leave).
I personally dont think he is doing anything special by sharing parenting responsibilities when he is not at work. My baby only recently started napping for longer than 30 mins in the day so it's not as if i am able to nap in the day myself if I am tired.
So my question is
AIBU- your DH is a saint for waking up
AINBU- of course he should do the mornings too
