[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t like 90% of the tough part of parenting little kids being tired and doing it anyway (getting up with them in the middle of the night, being present and engaged after a long day of work, getting up with them at 5 if that’s when they start their day, wiping the vomit off their mouth all night long even though you haven’t slept in 3 days)

I think if dh always sucked it up and did those things (as all moms are expected to do without complaint) [b]op would be understanding of a very very rare ask if he was truly exhausted[/b].  But she also would have thought of this as a boundary that needed to exist if he wasn’t regularly trying to walk over it.  My response would have been an eye roll and a “join the club” on having to suck up another 30min of parenting while tired [/quote]

Exactly.. we don't know their day to day but generally most reasonable people aren't so rigid if it's a rare occurrence. When it's constant? Yes, rigid boundaries need to be set otherwise you get walked all over and become majorly resentful.

Some young kids are a LOT to handle and yes, if DH is constantly asking you to take over when DC is tired/hungry/etc and you thought you still had 1+ hour to get your stuff done, that would be super annoying and worth holding a boundary over. This likely has nothing to do with OP not wanting children or whatever other nonsense the mom shamers on this thread are throwing out.[/quote]
