"And it was pretty tough for my wife too" Guardian commenter on breastfeeding triplets.

[Tartle]

The prize for the most rage inducing comment on the internet today must go to good old Joe here. Only 6 hours sleep a night. My heart bleeds.

She didn't work...because she was caring for triplets!!! 6 hours sleep is nothing to complain about when you have one child and is some kind of miracle if you have three babies.

Dear mum-of-triplets: if you are reading this thread, LTB.

No more than six hours sleep.

God sometimes I’d love to wander through life with the entitlement of an average white man. Imagine what you could do with all that free time.

Bloody hell. 6 hours of sleep is tonnes for a father of one newborn, never mind three!

6 hours sleep is normal for me. And I hold down a full time job. Where do I collect my medal?

Surely he was joking???? Surely? Please? Six hours?!!!

My God, he's completely fucking oblivious isn't he??

I mean 6 hours is quite a lot for me and I don't even have kids!

At least she didn't have any work to do in the morning though.

I want to find this utter bellend so I can make his wife a cup of tea and run her a bath. I feel like she probably doesn’t get that a lot at home. Six hours? ODFOD

I'd love to hear his description of the birth and how traumatic it was for him.

Lol, he definitely takes the biscuit!

Another fucking clueless arsehole. 6 hours? Oh the luxury!

He’s obviously a troll! How could anyone possibly take this seriously?!

After DS1, I can distinctly remember the first time I got six hours' sleep. That magic number is ingrained in my memory.

I woke up feeling, wtf has happened??!

I feel like I can take on the world.

My God, what a bell-end! I went back to work at 9 months and was still doing night feeds, but that was a piece of cake compared to the first 6 months when DS woke every 45 minutes AT A MINIMUM. I was destroyed with tiredness and that was with just one baby.

Oh we laughed....

I still remember when I first got 6 hours sleep, and that was with one baby, I felt like I'd slept for a week, and with DP having marathon baths with him/walking around the block, doing everything he could to distract DS1 for a bit longer so I could nap.

My SIL had twins, and mixed fed, and still she on her knees for the first few months (her husband wasn't much help because he 'had to work') as well..

If he’s getting six hours sleep then I suggest he’s not doing a lot to help care for their triplets. What a complete asshat.

HE’S TROLLING PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT!!!

The first time I got six hours sleep with a new baby, I woke up terrified that something had happened to him

Joe is a knob, and I hope his wife is being cherished and spoilt by her friends and family

Poor lamb on six hours a night...

I rarely say this, but perhaps the gentleman in question needs to be more, ahem, ‘woke.’

Ds woke up at least hourly for 18m. DH spent many, many hours pacing, rocking and shushing so that I could get more than 1 hours sleep a night and didn’t go completely insane and he managed to hold down a very professional job as well.

Poor chap eh, six hours! I bet he’s one of those who use the term babysitting to look after their own kids as well.

Jeez. Our first had tiny sleep cycles of less than an hour at one point and I was out of my mind with worry after she'd been in NICU with convulsions. By eight months we were both cross-eyed and in a right state. My dh really suffers with mental health issues if his sleep is out of whack, but you know what? He did his damn job as a dad and walked the floor every night, switching off with me so we could get a couple of hours unbroken. And held down a full-time job plus freelance work. And we've no family nearby either. The first time she slept for six hours, I was awake for three of them checking she wasn't dead! When the younger one came along and would drift off by herself for three hour stretches it was a complete doodle.

Some men need to grow the fuck up.

When DD2 was born she just wouldn’t settle past 3/4am. I had a 20 month old awful sleeper too who was up multiple times a night and got up for the day at 6am.
DH would walk her round the streets in her pram from 4-6am so that I could get a couple of hours sleep before DD1 got up. And he held down a full time, high pressure job. I don’t think either of us got 6 hours sleep a night for at least a year.

6 hours is loads!!

Thunk i got 6 hours when my dt were 11 months😑

I hope he gets sudden onset chronic insomnia and never sleeps longer than 2 hours stretches again. Twat.
