AITA for Asking for a Morning off From my Baby on the Weekends?

[@rhythmictiger]

Also she's not "sleeping in" - shes been up all night, she's just sleeping

[@rhythmictiger]

What in the absolute F. "My wife does everything, barely gets any sleep, asked me for one hour in the morning after I've slept blissfully for the last 7hrs but.. I wanna sleep in" Flipping heck, absolutely SUCK IT UP. She's Mom/housewife and you work DURING THE WEEK. Now it's the weekend and responsibilities are SHARED.

[@carterpitbull7366]

I hope she divorces him for a man who’ll treat her right.

[@brett8259]

[@ivorellarackley4401]

​​@@salma_Nella22 so everyone should always stay with partners that don't respect them, don't help them, and treats them like a servant instead of a partner? Maybe more people would rather be alone than treated like garbage by someone they thought would love, care and help them. Maybe marriage should be *eradicated instead of divorce being the issue. Or shitty people shouldn't be allowed to get married. You being upset over other peoples actions that don't affect you is wild lol

Dude just said himself he just wants to play video games. She works 2 days a week and is up all night with the baby and then all day with the baby, where is her break?

[@carterpitbull7366]

b-b-but then if he had to actually watch his baby he couldn’t play video games or be waited on hand and foot by his wife 😢

[@GlitterF-CK]

Also He "doesn't want to spend his off time napping" Which tells me he doesn't actually feel tired enough to need the sleep. She does NEED the sleep. She's asking him for sleep she needs. He's saying "but, I wanna sleep though". They keep saying compromise in the video, but she offered a compromise. He rejected it.

[@Herefortheballoons]

I have the exact same issue with my husband… I feel like if she takes care of baby 5 nights a weeks she should get weekends off! My husband is a heavy sleeper and can nap any time!!! If I could nap I would! We both work 5-6 days a week so since I work later I stay with the baby. I’m starting to feel it take a toll on me I am lost most of the time. Half here half not. My boss is starting to notice that I’m kinda loosing it 😂. I rest Saturday cuz he doesn’t work that day so he takes care of night duties I always work Saturdays so Sunday is my only true day off where I get to sleep.. I tell him to go to sleep as soon as he can cuz either way I am taking care of our baby so he should sleep and that I can sleep whenever the baby sleeps at night but that’s a lie cuz I have a hard time sleeping… i don’t nap easily

[@SarahRodriguez-1619]

@@Herefortheballoons girl I get it, I have insomnia as well and you can not just flip the switch off when ever u want.

As much as I love them to my death, I don’t think I want anymore.

Your dad is truly amazing. I teared up when he talked about taking care of you as a baby.

I teared up too because it reminds me of my husband the man will work 11 hours commute two hours both ways and still say babe go sleep I got the baby 😭 Like he was so exited to be a dad and he did with so much grace just so natural. Lucky to have dads like this 💯

[@victorywalkingtours8843]

This is ridiculous. My husband and I work opposite shifts and I am currently working nights while staying up all day taking care of our daughter. I am exhausted, sleep deprived, and barely hanging on. My husband pulls his weight. He puts her to bed at night and he gets up with her (usually once a night at this point). He spends his weekends with her while I sleep between 13 hour shifts. On Saturdays I'm a zombie because I've been up for 30 hours by the time I get home at 8AM. If my husband asked for time to play video games I swear to God I'd get a divorce.

I do understand that working AND going to school is difficult and draining especially depending on the specific job and that he wants weekends to relax. But i remember how delirious i was when i was waking every 2 hours for only a month or two. Six months and she’s still waking that often with no break? She needs the extra sleep. Her job is literally 24/7. Definitely compromise and switch off sometimes but i feel like she gets priority.

[@Milkymommy09]

She works outside the home part-time too!

[@mollylarson9591]

Being tired and exhausted on her job can cause injury to someone..ie baby or herself. She needs rest and as much as she can get.

And she is taking care of the house as well - so tbh the wife is working her as** off as well … So he can for be drained, but not more or less than her.

[@teresajane]

I have three babies, and have only remembered how my kids dad never helped me, would get mad at me if he was woken, all the negative. But listening to your dad reminded me of how much I loved those quiet nights looking at my babies the kisses feeding them the tired snuggles patting their bums back to sleep, this is how I will remember these time from now on thank you! ❤❤

[@katesimpson5098]

She works 2.5 days so probably 22 hours a week that's half of full time work. And she takes " excellent care" of both of them. So she's keeping the house cleaning making meals every day ( otherwise he'd complain) and not getting a single night of sleep? She isn't a stay at home mom , you don't make that money dude.Thats a 2.5 days of not keeping up with laundry , deep cleaning, and grocery shopping. Women also do not have 24 hour hormone cycles so our recommended sleep schedule is actually 10 hours. All she wants is for you to wake up at 7:00 2 days a week? That's a full 8 hours of sleep for the Dad. Even with that she isn't asking for enough!

[@JoMaSaOfficial]

He has that typical old school dad mentality mom has to take care of the kid. My hats down to you for taking care of your cousins fell bad for you cause you lost part of you childhood taking care of kids that are not your responsibility I did the same took care of my brothers something I’m not suppose to do we were kids, kids have to be kids and parents need to step up and do their obligations as PARENTS 💯 in the words of Kim you better get your ass up and take care of you baby 💯🙏

[@GlitterF-CK]

@@JoMaSaOfficial there's a difference between being forced to take care of others children while you're too young and feeling the urge to take care of children at a young age. I used to babysit a lot and I helped raise my little cousin when I was 15. It brought me joy to be involved in their lives and I could always go find their parent if I was feeling overwhelmed. But I rarely did. It's an amazing sentiment you have, but not everyone loses their childhood to helping their family care for their kids. Some people are just more inclined to it than others. Especially when it comes to teens.

[@anab9137]

I need to comment on this: there is a book called Invisible Woman - Amazing book btw - that talks about data bias and gaps all over the system. One huge point of the book is the unpaid work that women tend to do. OP is cleaning, washing, cooking, caring, and so on full 24/7. He can go to work, go to school and after that is leisure time. It’s “free” time. He can step out of the situation and she is responsible to handle it. But somehow he doesn’t see it as work, not as responsibility at all. This freaking one/two hours on weekend is just one single thing from all of the hard work she is also doing. Unpaid work is still work. As if she was having fun and relaxing the whole time he is at work…. C’monnnn! I loved the comments from the video tbh ❤

[@emyleyva11]

We have a 9 mth old. I fully breastfeed and unfortunately my baby refuses a bottle. She fed every 2 hours day and night the entire time. Even now, I wake up about 3-5 times a night to feed. My husband works and because she refuses a bottle, I stopped working. I do the whole wife and mom duty at home. My husband has never woken up to help at night because there is literally nothing he can do to feed her. But even he said “What an AH!”. My husband works early, so he gets home, showers, eats dinner and is in bed by 7 pm. I want him to be able to sleep. If I’m lucky, I get 5-6 hrs of sleep. If I can get myself to sleep. But on the weekends, he takes the baby in the morning and lets me sleep in for a bit. Sometimes he’s even got breakfast made. Gaming is NOT the priority! This is coming from a married couple who games together when our baby and toddler nap. He’s the AH. She wakes up every night to feed and care for the baby, and does it all day. He gets a full nights sleep every single day. All she asks for is 1 hour. I know she wouldn’t mind him playing after she gets to sleep in. I feel so bad for this mom, not to much because of him not wanting to wake up, but because I know she’s exhausted. I feel her pain, as I’m going through it myself.

[@katrinascarlet5637]

Question: Can't you cuddle the baby while playing video games? I snuggled with my niece while playing pokemon but she was like 4. I imagine even if it's on pc can't you "wear" the baby while gaming but I've never held a baby much less tested the "game while attached to baby" theory so I was wondering if it's normal or there's practical issues

@@katrinascarlet5637 I Guess it depends on the baby. I have pictures of us gaming while in feeding my oldest. My second was the type to just chill. She’d sit on my lap and we’d play a few games.

[@amaristhecrow7084]

Some people don’t understand how rough pumping can be. Holy crap. It’s hard to feed the baby and then pump extra. I wasn’t ever able to do it. We had to supplement. It’s not as easy as you dad seems to think .

[@klm5672]

Pumping is just as bad as breastfeeding really. Even making extra you still have to get up every 2-3 hours to pump for 15 minutes so why wouldn’t you just feed the baby? It’s not really a solution. And you are right, not everyone can do it!

[@angrykittenluvsfish]

@@klm5672 it can be a solution because more pumping can make you more milk. When babies grow and eat less the breasts make less milk with them, lots of times! So I would struggle with this too, but pumping would increase it. I would do certain lengths of time, even if it was just a bit I saved it and stacked it up. Every bit counts! Cups I wore on my breasts at night to catch the fallen drops 😂 so for some pumping and breastfeeding mix is a solution ❤

[@Bond_MrsBond]

Does he want his wife to grow resentful towards him? You think she’s going to want to have any more kids with you? Video games over your family? I can’t 😂

[@carriecongo7616]

Nothing like a couple with no kids saying they will knock it out because they are so gooooooodddd and so balanced. Well we parents all started there. Guess what we as parents are tired we think the other doesn’t pull their own weight. Week after week of no sleep you start to think of how you want to murder each other. So don’t even think you will be a great partner. That made me gag.

[@katmeltwm8694]

Let's not forget hormone changes & postpartum. Exhaustion only makes that worse. She must supplement feedings somehow when she goes to work the few days, whether that be by pumping, formula, etc. He should be able to take over feeding duties at least once a night once a month and let her sleep in on weekends. My husband and I got together when my son was 3, and my daughter was a couple of months old. He stayed up, walking with her every night. He worked a full time job during the day, had a part-time job during the evening, and would come home and put her to sleep. They have a very close bond!

[@spindemissen]

My dad would sneak out of bed to feed me, and later my sister, at night to a point that my mom would wake up with sore breasts, filled with milk in the morning. So you bet your ass I have high expectations 😅😅

[@lina9535]

Sounds like their agreement puts most of the work on her, and with such a young child, that's insane to me. He can help with cooking and cleaning even though he works full-time. In a way, the wife has a full-time job as well, the baby, cleaning and cooking. Also, he said it himself, he doesn't wake up to the crying, and she has insomnia. It is harder on her. That's just the simple truth

[@KawaiiandDark]

I already struggle with sleep on and off and because of that my SO always let's my sleep whenever possible, he'll even do his best to make sure people don't wake me if we get visitors (we live in a small studio apartment) With how excited he is to be a father and the extra care and work he puts in to try and make sure I'm happy and not worn or stressed I couldn't imagine a sudden change of mindset like the OP, like he knows she's struggling and is just like "but I want to play games instead of napping"

[@JB-qf5ep]

If you look at it mathematically by allowing the naps to cancel each other out, he is essentially asking his wife to look after the baby for an extra hour so he can play video games. As that is what she does full time and he seems to spend little time with the baby, that means he is TA. If he wanted that hour in the afternoon to have fun with the baby, I might be inclined to say nobody is TA. But he isn't being flexible for his wife for the sake of video games?

[@richkarter1916]

My dad played video games when he was responsible for me, and now I’m a rage gamer just like my dad is, cuz he’d eventually start letting me play games with him and would let me do the easy parts after he gets rid of the enemies and eventually i started watching what buttons he pushed and tired it myself and now i play games and he watches and the ones he’s played before he helps with by telling me where to pay attention

[@nameunknown1519]

I’m sorry but as a mom the “why can’t she pump” comment enraged me 😡 pumping is WORK. It is not this magical free time that you get as a mom. People act like pumping is this easy activity and once you are done someone else can feed the baby. You have to be able to produce enough milk to pump AND feed your child. Not to mention pumping takes several hours out of your day and you are limited in what you can do to care for your child while attached to a pump. That is such an ignorant comment. Why can’t she pump? Well why can’t her husband get up and take care of his child for a damn hour???

He would 100% rather spend time with his daughters than with anyone else. And I see it with my niece too - she's grandpa's favorite (she's the one and only grandkid)- and when she was smaller he would get her to sleep, put her on his shoulder and eat one handed without missing a beat. we just took her out last friday and he ran after her all day because he is baby's favorite, and he was exhausted by 3 PM when her parents took over but was super happy he got to spend the whole morning with the grandbaby.

[@jessicahanson6105]

This sounds like my ex I got up all through out the night with the baby and had ppd and our baby had colic. He complained about taking him for one hour every morning on weekends and having to feed our toddler who mostly did her own thing like playing ect. He would even take the baby and our toddler to my mamaws because he didn’t want to deal with them and then when I got up they got brung straight to me to take care of for the rest of the day and night. He eventually left me acting like I was lazy and told others I kept putting the baby off on him when if the baby wasn’t with me he was with my mamaw who thank God helped and let me have that extra hour. Guys just don’t get it and they expect us to be full of energy and take care of kids, clean, and perform sexual acts for them and they get so angry if we don’t and then complain to their friends boy or girls about how we didn’t do our duty’s as a wife.. I was literally made out to be a bad mom and a monster for not doing these things I also had insomnia and still do. Add that to ppd, and taking care of a colicky baby and toddler I barely even showered which was gross I know but it took all my energy to even get out of bed but I did and I took care of the baby and my toddler and still tried to not lose my mind.. yet I was such a bad mom, horrible wife, and lazy gross person.. im so so glad im divorced from that jerk and hope he never gets another women pregnant or she will get a note to saying he left all because she could not be herself after.

[@SamK31]

Justin, the reason human babies aren’t ready to just survive like other animals is because we physically can’t gestate them for longer. A human fetus would have to undergo a gestation period of 18 to 21 months instead of the usual nine to be born at a neurological and cognitive development stage comparable to that of a chimpanzee newborn. There is a whole host of reasons as to why we physically can’t handle a longer gestation period. HOWEVER, while our babies are much more helpless/needy, maybe being born earlier is better if you’re a cultural animal…they can soak up that knowledge as they develop. Lots of debate on the matter, but that’s the gist of It.

Who the older gent?

[@breannaneville4332]

Hahaha Lord we haven't played video games since he was born and he just turned 1... you're a parent now buddy, suck it up

[@Mayalove2069]

We took turns for my kid and it worked well but to be a devils advocate she does work twice a week and he works full time they came up with a agreement that he would take care of the finances and she would be a homemaker. It’s really hard to be working and going to school and not look forward to any days off been there it sucks i also know how it feels to be stuck with your baby and not feeling supported it sucks either way buut kids get easier as they grow and it’s only the first few months of life we’re the kid is a absolutely needy nightmare lol I don’t think he’s the asshole and neither is she new born babies are just fucking hard and someone has to work and someone has to stay home neither party has it easier because shit overlaps and also your not as connected as a couple because of how scrambled your emotions are.

Video games and chill 🤣 wtf this sounds like a failed marriage waiting to happen Why even have kids when you don’t wanna share the joy and early stages of birth what a shame. Parenting is not for everyone you know what you were getting into 💯

The husband can sleep in on Saturdays, so he has a “day off” and then the wife can sleep in on Sundays so it will allow her time to sleep in. 😊

[@carterpitbull7366]

No. She is the one up every other day of the week he can suck it up and do it twice.

Big head no thoughts

[@stef9484]

what the hell! This dude is setting the wrong priorities: the probleme is not the gaming itself, it's putting a hobby before the family.

[@maneyarain]

the problem is: both need more sleep. only when those need are fullfilled you can go to the next, like playing video games. since she cant nap during the day, there is no other way of her getting sleep as then to sleep longer. you have a baby..life is not about you anymore. grow up!

[@roselolagne6642]

They should take turns no matter what. Do people not understand what they are getting themselves into when having a kid? I work fulltime 5 days a week and wake up every 2 hours to breastfeed. We take turns on the weekend sleep in because him not being Able to breastfeed isn't his fault, He would love to wake up and help but it's not possible.

[@complainer406]

It doesn't matter that it's not his fault, waking up early on the weekend isn't a punishment, it's just him helping out in a way that he's able

[@brittanyanderson8195]

Take turns for what? He gets a solid night of uninterrupted sleep every night and she doesn't that's not fair in the slightest. He can let her have an extra 2 hrs a week. He won't die if he doesn't get 2 hrs of gaming time. I'm sure he can make up for it during the week.

[@bindirock1572]

Oh dear Morgan, you always wanna be so fair, but miss important points. Then the mother should go and work full time as well!!!! Talking fair, eh?!

[@gloomycandy101]

Her full time job is taking care of their infant, that is what they agreed upon as a couple. Being a stay at home mom isn’t getting to sit around doing whatever you want.

[@ashleymarie6585]

AHAHAH I couldn’t help but cackle when they said “she’s a mom and works 2 days a week she must be exhausted” puuuuuuulease 😅 don’t have kids if working 2 days a week is too much for you

[@amaristhecrow7084]

I found working full time easier, tbh. I had one of each and at home all day with a colicky baby was harder than going to work full time and just dealing with the baby at night. I would not recommend staying home. It’s easier to work in that situation. I will never do it again. Daycare and babysitters exist for a reason .

[@carterpitbull7366]

You forget the part where she’s also the maid, chef, and babysitter of a grown ass man child. Try working non stop 24/7 Karen.

[@momjeans9751]

Did you miss the fact that she’s also a mom 24/7 with a husband who, seemingly, is ignorant to her struggle. She is not sleeping. She has a newborn child. And she has a lacking support system. Not everyone can be a superhero robot that can just work constantly.

[@fearfulmitten9367]

I could not imagine my husband complaining about wanting extra sleep so that he can use his spare time to play video games after work while I’ve been HOME ALL DAY and getting up ALL NIGHT with the babies and doing shit to make sure that the family AND the household is happy, healthy, and clean, while also going to work some days. Lmao. Goodbye dude. 🙄🥱

[@KittyCurioso]

The baby is not part of the house.
