What happened to Mom’s daytime naps??

[/quote]

Op refuses to nap during the day.
Her husband refuses to share in night care

They both refuse outside help.

I think the best advice.is to be one and done[/quote]

Who are these people acting like it's just so easy to nap in the day with a newborn? Do you even know how short those "naps" are? By the time you are done pumping and warmed up your coffee they're about to wake up again. Plus you are in a state of constant vigilance and it can be really hard to fall asleep on command. I could only truly fall asleep in the day if I knew someone else was in charge.
Men have a hard time stepping up for baby number 1. When the second one comes, they have no choice so it equalizes a bit. Also husbands: women keep count. Don't support her when she needs it the most and be ready to suffer the consequences down the line.[/quote]

Yes I do know how short those naps are. 
And I still say that she needs to try and rest during the day.

You don't drink the coffee.
Her husband is being a brat, but that doesn't negate the need to care for herself.
And this high anxiety mommy martyrdom you're advocating just isn't it 
.and men who are jerks with baby one don't get a second child[/quote]
