Husband snoring whilst I'm feeding!

Anyone else feel incensed listening to their husband snoring whilst you're feeding your baby or is it just me?
Something takes over me and I have all on to quell violent fantasies of what if like to do to shut him the fuck up!!
I accidentally pulled his leg hairs whilst giving him a gentle leg 'nudge' tonight and he woke (momentarily) terrified. He won't remember it in the morning though.
He has so much ore sleep than me as I'm BF. I can honestly say that I feel utter contempt for him during the night, nay, HATRED.
Am I alone? Is this unreasonable. I just feel like smacking the back of his noisy fucking head.

I was totally happy for my dh to snooze the night away while I breastfed. He was working, I was not, there was no need for him to be awake too, etc etc.

What really annoyed me however, was his telling people how difficult our nights were with our non sleeping babies. He was completely oblivious!

It makes me want to set him on fire if I am particularly tired lol shiteforbrains! Grin

My husband snores all night, keeps me awake during the valuable time in between night feeds with his roaring noise and then complains that HE is tired. Wink

It's a good job need such a good egg the rest of the time or there would be some firestarting in my house too.

With DD1 I did the same as madwoman, just fed her and handed her over for winding/resettling!
DD2 is 3 weeks old and does not sleep. Ever. DH took her out for a drive at 3am so I could get an hour uninterrupted sleep! He's sleeping on the sofa now and I've got her upstairs.
We both made the choice to have children so we share the burden (I am EBF)

'He wouldn't know tired if it jumped up and nutted him!'

Ha exactly! We have agreed that DH sleeps in the spare room, he has to work, no point in the two of us both being sleep deprived etc. He is as supportive as can be, but all this goes out the window at 3am when baby is writhing around, totally wide awake, and I can sense his peaceful slumber through the wall...grr.

DH let out a small.moan of annoyance last night when our 17 day old son was awake. I could have battered him - the husband obviously.

He has managed to sleep through the last two godamm horrendously bad nights and last night was ok. Not great but ok.

He does get up at 4 for job 1 and goes directly to job 2 and is home around 5.30 so he is still tired. But not as tired as me!!

Although i heard him telling someone on through phone that he is lucky as he seems to sleep through most of it.

how!!
