Daddy Double Standard.

If DS is screaming in the middle of the night and I'm taking care of him, there have been a few occasions DH has come down to help calm him down. I always welcome the help.

Two nights ago, I went down to help and got a snotty attitude in return and it wasn't because he was grumpy! He felt I was treating him like he couldn't do it himself and "needed my help." wtf. It's 1am and the baby is screaming bloody murder - I thought I'd help. Sometimes the two of us together can get him to calm down and go back to sleep quicker than one of us with making the bottle/diaper change, etc.

{We had a talk so I'm hoping me offering middle of hte night assistance won't offend him anymore. Just thought I'd throw it out there in case some of you have experienced this.

 p.s. He's taken on night feedings if there are any on nights I go running before work.

    My husband is like this sometimes, less with me than with other people (our mothers, girlfriends of mine who offer to help if I'm out of town or something). I guess it's better than having one who won't do his share of the work...

    But I am always open to an extra hand, especially at 1am.
