Honestly this just sounds confusing to everyone. Babies and toddlers thrive on consistency and routine. You need to be 100 percent committed to cosleeping and so does your partner.

Lol, this poster must not work full time or have a commute.
NP here - DH and I work FT and both of us commute 30-45 minutes each way. We stagger hours and each take a WFH day to save commute time. We have never needed more than 30 hours of childcare per week. We don’t make $$$$ but we don’t care, and if we didn’t have this setup one of us would quit. Time with DCs is more important than anything.
Ok, well not everyone has that luxury. In this case where a dad is angrily bursting into a room it's probably best if his time with the kid is limited.

That's what we did until age 4. Most days he came in around 5am

Anonymous wrote:OP here, thank you all for the good ideas above. Re question above, ideally I think DH would like no co-sleeping at all, (even when DC is sick at night and vomiting). DH doesn’t even want me to lay down with DC to go to sleep or to stay in room with him to sleep. When I do that DH comes bursting in the room and angrily saying “what are you doing in there?!”
DH thinks I should just ignore his crying and leave him in room alone with door closed and light off. We have very different approaches and that can be upsetting sometimes.
Sounds like your child is seeking extra comfort because his dad is an major a**hole.
