Partner falls asleep

[Pigmum86]

My partner has two kids under 5. He often falls asleep when they’re in our care - snoozing on the sofa while they’re playing. It annoys me he expects me to look after them by myself. Last time it happened he said ‘I’m sure you can cope for 5 minutes.’

hes often had his mum helping him with them when he has them once a week and I feel he’s got used to someone else doing the work.

we’ve got them for 3 nights over Xmas and I’m dreading it.

what would you do or say?

i don’t believe this.

Wow are you reading the same thread? They dont live with the dad before dad moved in with op he used to live with his mum and the dad left the kids with her on HIS contact day now he lives with op he does nothing with his kids on his one contact day and goes to sleep yet you think this is an op problem and the dad is great.

Have you actually read the OP? Because this is possibly the most batshit response I’ve read in MN in a long time and has to be a wind up it’s that ridiculous

Please don't use AI for posts. It's a shame to see this making it onto Mumsnet.

As for advice: wake him up every time. And make sure he goes to bed on time.

I don’t think @Pigmum86 is coming back

2 under 5 and he cba to look after them the odd day/night he has them

how long have you been together and don’t have kids with him

What I was going to ask.

As for @Nattyz1256 … … give your head a wobble!

But it’s all moot - @Pigmum86 isn’t coming back…

Not wanting to be that person but is there any chance this is a physical issue? Does he work crazy hours? Is it health related? Has he had blood checked? My best friend was diagnosed with me after she was fired from a job because she’d go to the stock room to take naps.

Why did the relationship with his ex break up?
Because he was a lazy selfish loser?
Are you sure you aren't his new skivvy aupair?
It certainly reads like it.

You are living together already?
So soon?
He needed childcare so went for the nanny with a fanny option.

This is not someone to ever consider having children with.

The Step parenting forum is full of horror stories that began like yours.
You are being used and wasting your time.
Go and stay with your family while his children are visiting and have a good hard think zbout why your standards are so low.

Whether the aleep issue was a physical / medical problem or not... hes still treating her like crap and it was all far too rushed.

Those poor children
