[quote=Anonymous]We have a nearly 4 month old who is going through sleep regression. For the sake of my sanity I put the baby in the  family room swing for the first part of the night so he will go to sleep without a fuss and will also sleep longer - this gives me the opportunity to get some sleep. The problem here is that the only tv shows dh is interested in watching are action films which involve machine guns, explosions, loud music etc. I don't know what the series is he's watching but he's watching it (on demand) every freaking night. I have to tell him at least 10 times to turn it down (at some point he's turning it back up because I see the volume number on the tv). And of course the baby is waking up only 2 hours later (when dh isn't home he will sleep 3 hours plus in the swing) so I give up on my own nap and take the baby upstairs pissed. Then when I take the baby upstairs he puts the tv volume on full blast. Then the baby is up every two hours after that and I can't help but feel maybe he was sleeping to the sound of machine guns for 2 hours.

I don't understand why a grown ass man is putting his own needs before the baby's?? I have explained to him that the baby is no longer a newborn and doesn't just sleep through everything as easily as before. I have legitimately told him to get his hearing checked because he wants the TV SO loud. I have asked him this and am ignored. I ask him why is he watching these types of movies and to watch something more calm while the baby is napping in the room and am ignored. I ask him at that point to at least turn it down low but he says he can't hear it and keeps turning it up and causes me to snap at him at every loud ass action scene. I do 100% of the childcare and I don't complain because he works and I don't but I am becoming extremely resentful. And then he wonders why I'm never in the mood. Having a baby is hard but I feel that he's making it 1000 times harder. [/quote]
