To think DH and I just want the other to take the kids

Sort of a bit light hearted but …

DD didn’t sleep last night. Don’t know what was up but she kept waking up (so I couldn’t get to sleep) and then woke 1-3, got her asleep in her cot at 315, then DS woke at 6.

DH took them so I could sleep a bit but I only went to bed at 330 and was still up at 8. DH slept more than me but only a bit.

I mean, there’s no answer here is there? Truth is we’re both tired out, doing all we can, and just desperate for a break that never comes. The answer on here is to let your partner take the children for a bit but when you’re both running on empty that’s so hard to do.

The answer is no, between the two of you it's impossible to have a proper break. What you need is 1) involved, helpful grandparents or 2) a nanny.

We hired a nanny part time and it's changed our life (we have a 6 month old).
