[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another one here who wonders if Dad got up right away. I had this happen multiple times, where he'd have said he'd take over that morning so I could sleep, and then I'd wake up and hear them crying or actually up and about. He'd keep sleeping, and I'd nudge him and he'd say five more minutes over and over, until finally I just got up and took care of them. Many women are wired to jump into action when babies cry and toddlers wander. It's how humans survive. Not sure most men are wired that way, so they don't get that it's like an adrenaline surge, almost.

If you got up right away, before she was wide awake and in action mode, you should have the balls to insist she stay in bed and rest. [/quote]

I've definitely had this issue with my spouse: ignores screaming child, eventually gets up, lets the kid scream in front of the bedroom door for awhile, eventually moves the kid and then I hear ominous yelling and thumping and crying from downstairs.  I give up on sleep, and go downstairs in a foul mood, but spouse still wants a huge fuss and thank you for getting up with the baby.[/quote]
