Dp works full time and very hard, and I work almost full time and look after our 9 month old. We have to do this as we're trying to get a house and with the economy the way it is at the moment we're struggling.
This week we both had our holidays- one week off together. It's our first week together in such a long time. DP even worked over xmas. So we were really excited. It's been a great week just being together and with the baby.
But I get up with the baby at silly o clock every morning, I get up in the night (he does too, depends who wakes up first) and the last time he got up with the baby of a morning was about November or December.
So the other morning, he moaned at grumped when DS woke up, expecting me to take him downstairs. I didn't. So in the end he said he was annoyed at me and marched off with the baby downstairs. They were very loud, and a short time later they came upstairs and tried to get me up. I said no, I was very tired and I wanted a much earned lie in. Dp huffed and puffed some more but left me alone. Then he came up again a while later and tried to get me up again. There was nothing specific to get up for and I was absolutely shattered. I dragged myself out of bed and got on with the day.
Te past few days I've been wanting to get on with my PGCE work. I explained this to him and said I'd need some help with DS. Yesterday morning DP had a lie in while I dealt with baby and tried to do my work- didn't get much at all done (I have 13000 words to write- the essays have built up as I never have time). I said last night that he would have to get up with DS in the morning so that I could get on with my work before we go to DP's godson's first birthday party. He said he would but he wouldn't be getting up that early. How does that work? DS gets up early!
So this morning I have been up since 7, tried to do my work. I asked him to watch DS (who has just learnt to crawl and goes for everything) while I went to the toilet and he shouted down 'just give him a rice cake to keep him quiet, I'll be down soon and give him his breakfast'. Another hour has passed. I have given DS his breakfast and changed his nappy and all the rest of it, and have got hardly any of my work done as DS is having a phase of wanting to play all the time. DP knows this.
Yet he is STILL in bed. Would it hurt so much just to come down and let me get on with my research!?
And he acts like he's so badly done to because he had wash the pots last night, and he's still not impressed that I had a lie in the other day.
Is he or is he not a complete sleep hog??
I know everyone goes through this when they're tired and looking after a young baby. But I'm secretly really irritated and needed to let it out!!!
