Turtle, it sounds like he is being a bit of an arse. We've had similar discussions - Bloke has absolutely refused to get up in the night because he has to work in the morning. (And he uses working with explosives as a ridiculous excuse as to why he needs to be wide awake and undisturbed...the same doesn't apply when he wants to go out on the beer.)Your situation is worse obviously, as our night time wakings are mercifully few and very far between. But we have had many arguments discussions that have involved me screaming about how useless he is calmly asking him if he could do more.
We're managing it a couple of times a week, but I have always been a bit horny , and am not really sleep deprived. It was a different story when I was still waking up to feed her at night.
Feeling like a very bad mummy today. In the space of four days last week, little Ff started crawling properly, drinking without help from a beaker, and pulling up to standing, so I have been struggling to keep up with her new found skills. Put her on the changing mat on our bed for 2 seconds while I turned around to grab a nappy from the side yesterday...THUD...she'd crawled off the bed. She is clearly the Chuck Norris of the baby world though, as after a bit of an outraged shriek she seemed pleased to be on the floor and was crawling off before I picked her up. Still feel awful though.
I would love to come to a Jan meet up - getting into London takes me about an hour.
Went to Christmas lunch with my old colleagues yesterday, and Ff tasted ice cream for the first time...very popular indeed!
Is everyone getting into the swing of Christmas? Starting to feel quite festive here. Littleducks, I hope your day improves.
