:'( Remind me I love my husband?

No, it's not divorce talk. But if he doesn't quit snoring, I might stab him.

I've been hurting so badly, it took forever to fall asleep. No sooner I do actually fall asleep, but I'm woken up by dd screaming and crying. Like she was literally yelling and sobbing. I thought maybe she had fallen down the steps in the dark! So of course I jumped out of bed (and proceeded to wrench whatever was finally starting to feel a bit better) and got up stairs?

Her knee hurts. No bumps, no bruises, no blood or broken bones. Even worse, she woke up Elliott with her screaming. Not sure how, but he had managed to pee straight through his diaper and had soaked his bed and all his bedding. So I had to completely strip him and the crib, clean both, and remake the crib. By this point, E is wide awake and not ready to go back to sleep. 45 minutes later, he has finally called enough to go back to sleep.

So now it's 2:45, I've been up and down the steps a dozen times in the last couple hours, both kids were awake, I feel like my body has been stretched on a medieval rack, and DH IS STILL SNORING!

Someone put me out of my misery.

    I probably would've woken my DH up. The night that DD was sick, I woke him up immediately, even though he had work in the morning. No reason to have to deal with all that alone, they are his kids too!

    Yep, this. I would have woken him up, too.

    Especially with a soaked kid and bed, I would have had DH up within a heart beat. Mind you, I have a divide and conquer theory about kids. If he's working, he gets the easier kid to deal with. But our house structure room to room is probably 10 feet and DH sleeps lightly. I doubt he would ever sleep through the ruckus I would make... Especially given I would have bossed him out of bed within the first few minutes. Your DH needs a rude awakening. No pun intended.

    @Rosebean‌ You have no idea how jealous I am. I would just about kill for an uninterrupted nights sleep.

    I think you deserve a night of uninterrupted sleep. Why is he unable to take a shift to do this for you? Are you afraid to ask to make a deal where you get a night and morning per week where he is in charge of night and morning duties?

    @Rosebean‌ It's not so much i'm afraid to ask, I do. But he doesn't stay awake. I'm not sure why. This has taken a new level of ridiculous and I almost want him to talk to his Dr about it. Yesterday I woke him up and told him it was his turn. He literally was asleep 5 minutes later and couldn't hear E screaming his head off right next to him.

    I want sleep. I want a night off. But not at the rush of safety of my child. I came out twice last night before giving up and staying up with E myself. The first time, E somehow got ahold of a steak knife and was walking around with it point up. The second time he was fumbling around the stairs in the dark with an empty cup in one hand and his blanket in the other.

    I'm actually concerned at how deeply dh sleeps. It's literally impossible to wake him until her is ready to wake up. :(
