How many of you never ask your DH or SO for help in the MOTN since they have to get up early for work or whatever? I asked DH for help tonight and I'm pretty sure I won't be doing it again.

I don't, because DH doesn't have boobs and also I handle sleep deprivation much better than he does. We both work, and I get up earlier in the morning than he does as well. I can't sleep if H is crying, so I'd be awake anyway. Also, DH would become a t
I don't often get to ask DH for help in the night because he works from 9pm to 8am. Most nights he works from home so he will keep the baby monitor with him and if he is not hand holding a client he will come up and help soothe or rock the baby. But ge
DH has been up with K, alone, once. This was around Christmas time. Then she had a rough night and we were both up at the same time. He has never had a problem getting up. I just do it. He is a power lineman. I would rather be sleepy than him be sleepy.
Technically, I'm a SAHM since I got laid off last month. So DH has to get up at 6 to work everyday and usually has a rough day at work. For that reason I feel bad if he's sleep deprived on top of it. But sometimes I just want to sucker punch him at night

It's the opposite for me. I have to get up for work at 515 so DH does MOTN feedings. He knows now to do it since it's too exhausting to be up with G at about 3 or 4 and then have to get up a couple hours later. Weekends I take over and let him rest up.
I don't ask for help because I BF during the night, and also DH has to be up at 5 for work and handles sleep deprivation much worse than I do. We'll all just be happier if I do it, and honestly, I wish LO would sleep more consistently, but I don't mind t
I always feel like he has to get up and go to work and I SAH so 9 times out of ten, I just do it myself. But when he offers before bed to get up when he wakes, I say sure! He usually doesn't budge though. I think my biggest issue here is that he doesn't d

In our house, I am the one who works and DH is a SAHD. I still handle the MOTN stuff almost exclusively. It's just easier for me to feed him, because if DH had to heat up a bottle, DS would be crying by the time it was ready and it would wake me up any
Now that we're both back at work, we have a pretty good schedule. On days I work (3 days/week? 12 hour shifts), the night before, DH gets up with LO if it's before 5am. I get up for the day at 5am, so I take 5am-6:30am (when I leave). Lately, LO has be
DH gets up with H probably 3 times a week. We went through a timeframe where H didn't care for his daddy holding him or feeding him. I usually don't mind but if I ask him to go feed H, he does get up and do it. I handle sleep deprivation much better than
Thanks ladies. I know I should talk to him. It's just easier sometimes to let it go. Like last night, I figured I would just let it go. Luckily, we are headed out of town this weekend to stay with my parents and it's always a nice relaxing getaway. I thin
