"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.

I’m hoping that comment is massively tongue in cheek...

Because if it’s serious, then he is a grade A twit.

If any of mine slept through for 6 hours, I'd wake in terror thinking to find a - shudder - cot death on my hands. Thank God never did.

I remember when DD was born and lost too much weight, I had to set my alarm for every 2 hours and 45 minutes, day and night. Every time it went off, I'd change her, breastfeed her, then feed her expressed milk and formula top-up from a cup or syringe (which took ages), then express for 20 minutes, then take my pump to a room down the corridor and sterilise it. A good night for me was 1 1/2 hours sleep.

I feel slightly nostalgic for tiny weeny scrunched-up newborn DD, but no way do I miss those nights.

I thought it was going to be a joke line.

But it really wasn't, was it!

Obviously he was dropped on his head at the birth of his triplets.

When DS was born he’d sleep for 1 1/2 hours max. To be fair to his father, who is otherwise a complete knob, he got up and did changing and almost never slept when I was awake. We only started getting better sleep when we switch to formula. Stopping breastfeeding was awful and I felt so guilty, but it was either that or go mad, or get ill.
I frequently have periods of insomnia that can last weeks at a time, that can range from two hours sleep a night to nothing, depending on the cause of the insomnia, and it is not nice at all. A few months ago I came off some long term meds and literally didn’t get any sleep for 18 nights. I couldn’t even cry with the despair I felt because my eyes were too dry and sore to produce any tears. It was like torture, and I certainly wouldn’t wish it on this individual, especially as it would be his poor wife or partner that would suffer as well.
Bowl, any sign of your little lodger making an appearance yet?

Hmmm. I have a relative who is the parent of a seriously disabled child. They survive on far less than 6 hours a night (sometimes none) and that has been going on for 14 years.

He's either got a warped sense of humour or he is the epitome of male entitlement. Either way, what a knob.

I'd rather work a 50 hour week than breastfeed triplets.

She's an absolute hero.

I'm with Shirley. It's got to be a joke or troll. But he overplayed his hand with the triplets IMO.

6 hours sleep? FFS. I don't even get that now. And my kids are older. I would have given anything almost for 6 hours sleep when they were babies. How could his wife possibly work with triplets to feed throughout the night and day. Jeezus.

Oh dear, I think you all fell for that.
He'd be having a good chuckle if he read this.
Definite troll - he doesn't have triplets, probably even doesn't have a wife, it's all a wind up and it worked.
