[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would make him sleep on the sofa- not as a punishment but so that you can get a good night's sleep. I wouldn't make him get up with the baby if I was staying home full time- it sounds like he's doing a lot of other things to help. I'm saying this from a 50/50 marriage. The sleep will get better before you know it. Before he moves back from the couch, which should happen when your baby reliably sleeps 6+ hours straight (it's not comfortable, but the 6 hour sleep mark is generally night to morning 10-4, 11-5, etc.), get a new mattress. [/quote] This. He doesn’t sound like that much of a jerk, to be honest. He is the breadwinner. And yeah you don’t need $2000 for a mattress. We just got a new one. $720 all told and we love it. [/quote] +1 DH and I slept seperately when I was on maternity leave because one of us needed to be rested and since he had to WOH, he got to sleep in. And, you can get an excellent mattress for less than $1K. Having said that, if your DH is snoring, that may be impacting the quality of sleep you both get even without the baby. It's something to keep an eye on. [/quote]
