[quote=Anonymous]The amount of bickering on this thread is absurd. Have a discussion together (really, many ongoing discussions) and figure out what works for your family. For mine, it didn't make sense for both parents to be up all night and end up exhausted together. I (mom) do the overnight wakings, and dh wakes up early with the kids. That might mean as early as 4/5am for a baby or young toddler. This pattern continued naturally as kids became toddlers/preschoolers. It works best for our sleep patterns & the family's needs. Of course, it's flexible and of course we'll both help if either needs back-up for any reason. There is no need that the dh MUST wake up overnight, basically to prove a point about equal partnership, if it's not the right choice for your family.[/quote]
