My Dh was anass this morning.

So Dh and I take shifts at night so that each of us can get at least 4 hours of continuous sleep. He went to bed at 9:15pm and didn't have to get up until 3am. DS was up for over an hour, so Dh comes and wakes me up! He gets me at 4am to take over. WTF. His 4 hour shift was 1:30-5:30am. As it is, I end up getting up at 5am to pump because DH takes so dam long in the bathroom getting ready.

At 5am, DS was starting to stir again and I just cried in frustration and exhaustion. DH wanted me to get up again because he needed more sleep. Once I just cried he got up. I said something to him about our shifts. His reason for getting me up---when DS would be up for over an hour I would tell him to come get me. But that is when I was on maternity leave! And I reminded him of this when I went back to work.

So he was trying to do everything this am. Well I am already up, so you might as well let me feed DS his bottle. DH was kinda being asass about things this morning.

I think we will be discussing this again tonight. No reason for him to get plenty of sleep and me go without. We both work full time.

Exactly right! You both work, and you both deserve sleep. Maybe instead of doing shifts, you can do an every-other-night routine? That's what DH and I do. Like last night was my night, so if DS got up, I would take care of him. Thankfully, he rarely gets up anymore in the early hours, but when he did, this was the most fair plan we had.

Sorry you didn't get any sleep. : (
