[quote=Anonymous]My oldest was colicky and after the first two weeks of life took 30 minute naps- you could have set a clock to them. It was literally walk for 30 minutes to get her down, she would sleep 30 minutes, get up and eat do it all again. There were no naps for me and she screamed for hours every evening. I am still amazed we had a second. My DH got up and helped as much as he could every weekend because I was so sleep deprived it was scary. I would often pass out right ache got home around 7:30. He was doing everything he could, not demanding to get up and work out every morning. That’s not fair.

My second slept better and I did most of everything for my maternity leave and it was fine. DH spent as much time as he could with the older one. The point is, he was doing everything he could, and we both suffered more when it was harder. Honestly, the sleep is a red herring. He wants his old life back and wants you to make it happen. This is not about what’s right or wrong but about him recognizing you are struggling and need help. If he cares, you can find a compromise. [/quote]
