Is it fair DC and I have to sleep in the living room?

My partner works as a police officer and is also an extremely light sleeper, before DC was born has no problem falling asleep on the sofa but now DC is born wants to have the bedroom himself and thinks that I should take the bassinet into living room as he wakes up when baby wakes and then can’t get back to sleep.

I understand he has to be alert for his job, but feel like it’s unfair I have to lug baby and bassinet downstairs every night.

we don’t have a spare room, live in a one bed and can’t afford to upsize yet.

Our baby is 11 weeks.

I've read your updated comments... I am so sorry you choose a lazy ass Man as the Father of your child. That Man will never change...

Agree, he's going to get worse. It's easier to end things when the baby is young. You deserve a proper bed and help.

If he can't even be arsed to feed his baby or make a meal now even on his days off it's unlikely things will change when you go back to work .

I'd be having a talk with him and if he still insists on you sleeping on the sofa and not helping out I'd go back to your parents and have a hard think if this is what you want from life.

Honestly, it's much easier doing it on your own than with a bloody man child who doesn't pull his weight

OP speak to your parents and see if they would be amenable to you moving home for a while until you get on your feet. This situation is not going to improve .

Please move to your parents op, and concentrate on your baby. The adult baby is a waste of space, he makes work for you, kicks you out of your bed and does nothing for the baby you had together, you will be much better off without him, without cooking for him, wihtout being kicked out to the sofa, without doing the housework and watching baby while he watches tv.
