Women are martyrs and men are weenies, Chapter 8,124

Let's look at the other side. You are a SAHM and you have one child whose life is dependent on you as it sounds like you are breastfeeding. You are a martyr. Ok, got it.

Why don't you let DH sleep in one morning to feel refreshed and you can sleep in on Saturday so that you feel like you got your tit for tat.

If you continue down this road of tit for tat comparison, you will be here in 5 years, divorced, talking about how your DH is dating another young chickadee and you are struggling as a single mom. Avoid that.

This guy is responsible for 100% of your household income. Give him one morning to do as he pleases. It's not a huge give.

you are so wrong. a wife staying home is most likely giving up her career. if she was also working outside of the house, husband would have to step up and deal with daycare drop offs and pick ups.
I am not a sahm but I am not so ignorant to not realize it is a JOB.
both spouses need breaks

I don't get it. Dh and I used to switch off. NBD. Then again I didnt martyr and DH was very helpful without being told or asked to. Neither you or your DH is right and both are going to cause long term damage to the marriage. Can you have an open and honest conversation with him? No martyring, no guilt tripping, no accusations

Like lots of other posters already said: you both need breaks. You get Saturday, he gets Sunday. Make it a planned thing so you can both look forward to your mornings off.
