Now please let me know if I’m being unreasonable but dh is still on his summer holidays (till next Monday sob) , he works Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. All i ask if for
him to get up with the girls once a week. Is that , that mean of a request? OK he moans
about it but for the most part does do it. He had a few weeks off from doing it while
he had re-sits , then one week where he was dealing with Eilidh till *shock* 2am and said he couldn’t get up with them as he was up to late (because i have that option ALL THE TIME) . Last week Rebecca got up so late that i wasn’t tired anymore so just played the computer for a while while DH dealt with the girls.
Which lead me to this morning………..
4.50am - Rebecca wakes up, mad panic over her dummy. Get her a new one and she takes Milkys and starts to settle again. Starts coughing.
5am - Goes between trying to go back to sleep and having a coughing fit
5.10am - She (we) give up and admit that she is now up for the day. She plays around in the bed.
5.20 - DH finally gets out of bed and goes to do his morning essentials (you know bathroom, drink, sit around for a while).
5.30 - Im finally free, Rebecca is with DH and Eilidh is still sleeping and go and curl up in my bed (all alone which is rare) and start to go back to sleep.
6.00 - Wake up hearing DH moaning at Rebecca, she then proceeds to bang something or other and this goes on for ages.
6.30 - Im just falling asleep when Eilidh wakes up, i wait (and wait) for DH to go and get her but eventually go and do it myself. Switch the computer on to read email while i feed and get moaned at, go through the living room.
As you can guess i never did get to go back to sleep, DH is in the living room with the kids and not happy with me for sitting in here playing the computer. He gets to sleep in 6 days out of 7, and that’s with no interruptions . I could so see him taken Rebecca in the mornings while i woke up (NOT) .
Ugg sorry for moaning, it was my last chance to sleep in for a while and i missed it again.
The one good thing is Eilidh seems to be back to sleeping all night again on a regular basis and its wonderful . Still not 100% what the problem is but i guess it could of been because she was working on walking i have heard that can cause sleep problems.
Part of me is worried it was because she was cold at nights, we put her in her sleeping bag last week and she has slept great since. I feel so guilty over it, she does have blankets in the cot but wriggles so much she ends up uncovered. It does make sense as she would go down fine at first but later on would scream and refuse to back down in the cot. I feel like such a bad mummy over it 
Go have several cups of tea. Tell your tea how much hubby is getting on your last nerve. I have had the same problem with mine not “participating” quite as much as I would like. And, now, well, it’s football season, so I can kiss any help just bye bye until January.
Thanks for stopping by my place.
Ugh. So frustrating. I thank God that Nadia has almost always been a good sleeper, because if she wasn’t I KNOW it’d be me getting up with her every single time. those men just don’t get it!!!!
Trust me I know where your coming from. DH works 5 days a week and on the weekends he wants to sleep in. I understand that in all, but when do I get to sleep in??? NEVER. Ugh. Its so frustrating. Good luck.
Its so frustrating! I have same issues sometimes, i get up every morning without fail and the day i dont get up coz i dint feel well i can hear him chuntering about me stll been in bed, i thought i was going to pop i was so mad!
