No yanbu dh sounds like he's being a knob he had no right to tell you to shut up and well done for telling him to fuck off.

Of course the little one can't help it he's reliant on you for everything at that age.he definitely can't help it especially if he's not well and it's his first time being unwell.

I remember when my ex had pnd with ds there were times when yes its stressful when he got ill and when I didn't feel well but I had to drag myself out of that bed beacuse my helpless ds needed me and was reliant on me being there.

It might be a stressful time but it's a stressful time for you to being worried about ds he needs to support you and help you rather than telling you to shut up.

Explain what? He's unwell, your child is unwell.
You had a go at him, he had a go back.
There's no point in both of you being up with the child.

What did you read? The DH groaned, OP said, "he's not well really", the DH told her to shut up. If DH told me to shut up after I'd been up all night and he'd been sleeping since 9pm with a sick baby, I'd have told him to fuck off too.

This. Everyone is either tired or unwell and it’s the middle of the night. Everyone can be unreasonable when being kept up in those circumstances.

Right? No ones saying she shouldn't have told him to fuck off.

Hi op,

I have to be honest and say i’m not 100% sure I understand what’s happened, as your post is really difficult to read without any punctuation.

But as a knackered parent of 2 small non-sleeping kids, I would say:

-Never pay attention to what eachother is saying in the middle of the night when you’re both exhausted and emotions are high

-In my house, we have a rule that if one parent is unwell, the other parent takes over to give the other parent a chance to rest

It all seems like a massive overreaction, probably tired and ill. There was a groan, you've had a go at him, he's told you to shut up, you've told him to fuck off.

Today is a new day.
