DH puts baby to sleep in our living room and insists I be quiet as a mouse

[Anonymous]

He does this in the middle of the day and shushes me when I try to make something in our kitchen. Baby has a beautiful nursery with his crib, baby monitor, etc. Am I being unreasonable not wanting to be super quiet when he’s asleep at 2pm and we’re both WFH? We have an open concept main floor so sound travels easily.

No. Baby needs to sleep in the nursery. DH probably wants to see the cute baby. Or find that it’s easier to get the baby to sleep in the living time. Doesn’t matter. Activities that need silence leave the coming rooms to everyone else.

How old is baby? Is baby a newborn and still in your room to sleep and so this is also keeping the infant near you?

Okay. The most important thing that you are learning at this stage of parenting has absolutely nothing to do with the baby (and where he sleeps could not be less important) but rather how you COMMUNICATE with your spouse.

WHY does he put the baby to sleep in the living room? Every possible answer stems from an understanding of that.

Why are you posting this here? Talk to your damn husband.

And yes, that is weird.

Do you people never read the actual OP, just the subject line? JFC.

You need to talk to him. Why is he putting the baby down for a nap in the living room? Is the reason good enough to outweigh the inconvenience while you are both WFH? Also, tangentially related question, are you both working from home with no childcare? Why?

I read the OP twice, and the post you're attacking twice, and the original post doesn't answer these questions, so I'm not sure where your vitriol is coming from

WFH with no childcare?? You're shortchanging this baby too.

Okay, if I missed it, please tell me the age of the baby and if the nursery is in their room or in a separate / another room. I reread it and still don't see the details that you are apparently seeing.

NP and we can all infer not a newborn if they are both WFH and not on maternity/paternity leave at the moment.

why don't you watch the baby then?

Babies shouldn’t wake up so easily. I was always on the go when they were little so they got used to sleeping where they were. They still sleep through anything.

Talk to your husband about this?
He is the love of your life. You are the love of his life. You love each other so much that you decided to have a baby together.
Talk to your husband. You are a team.
