Can't stand watching DH sleep while I'm awake

I can't stay in the same room with DH if he is sleeping and I am up with the baby- he thinks I'm crazy but why do I want to stare at someone sleeping when I am obviously not.  He tried to get DS to sleep and couldn't so I went in to help him and within 2 seconds he fell asleep on the bed.  I made him leave the room last night while I was trying to put DS to sleep, it was only 7pm so he didn't need to be sleeping that early or sleep on the couch if you're that tired.  He thinks I'm giving DS rum to sleep or something so that's why I don't want him in there- LOL.

Why doesn't he get it?

    I'm the same way.  I've kicked my bf out of the room before and he got all butt hurt about it, but I just outright told him that if he didn't leave, I would hold it against him and be in a pissy mood with him.  He didn't ask any questions and I think he figured it out when I started making him stay up with DD on weekends sometimes.

    Oh I am the same way! I think my DH sleeps an abnormal amount, its crazy. In the night when I am up with the baby and he is snoring I seriously want to put a pillow over his head! I also HATE it when I get up early in the AM with L and he stays in bed I just want to sleep in one day!

    I was this way and I was getting resentful.  So, I sat my husband down and told him and now he we split the morning wake-ups 50/50 on weekends or holidays.  It is so nice!  Talk to him, I am sure he'll be receptive.  It will help your marriage if you're not resenting him all the time.

    Me too! It also annoys me that he doesn't even stir when the baby wakes up.

    "H, I am exhausted too and wish I could be sleeping.  I think it's mean of you to lay in here and sleep while I am up and trying to get the baby to go down.  Go sleep somewhere else."

    My H generally gets up and cleans or something if I am up with the kiddo.  He's good like that.

    This times 1,000,000. I was the same way with my DH about being the only one to get up with DD in the mornings on weekends. I finally told him that I was feeling resentful that he got to sleep in every Saturday and Sunday while I am up at 6:30 with DD. He had no idea I was feeling this way and offered to split the wakeups with me so we each get to sleep in a weekend day.
