Seriously going to loose it

I am so tired. Have less then 2 hours sleep DD will be up in an hour and DS is still wide awake. Tried to put him in his room and turn off the monitor so I will only hear him if he is crying and DH is Fing snoring. Does he offer to get up just 20 mins early so I can have the possibility of 1 hr. No. I literally have tears streaming down my face.

It'll be ok. TELL him you need him to wake up. He's not a mind reader.

Sometimes I forget that DH isn't a woman with a penis. LOL! So wake him up, and enjoy your hour. It will help.

I'm sorry. (hugs)

You are a good mommy and are doing the best you can. Can you nap tomorrow? Errr later today?

Fwiw, I'm so frustrated with DS's sleep and my exhaustion that I broke down daily last week. And your handling this with two kids- I've only got one. You rock.

Plus they say it gets better.. (6 weeks into 4mw, I am skeptical, lol)

Cry some, then chin up and hang on. You can do this.

Oh and I agree. Wake his butt up and get a quick rest!

Hang in there! This was my DS two weeks ago. Like PP have said, wake your DH up. I did, and he was more than willing to get up, he had no idea how bad my night had actually been. I hope you get some sleep.

That was me yesterday. Would be today but I'm so used to not sleeping that I can't feel emotions atm...

You probably have to tell him that you don't get sleep and would like some. My H is clueless as to how much I'm up at night because he sleeps like a rock, then when I'm trying to lay back down he's rolled so that he takes up the whole bed...bedhog. lol

During maternity leave, H would watch Baby E during the hours between 8pm and midnight. I would be guaranteed at least 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep. It wasn't much, but it did make a big difference.
