Omg my H is being the fucking bedtime martyr

[papie]

I may have to kill him.

Apparently I am not helping and he has to do it all alone. That's because he is acting like a fucking idiot. Sophia is acting up, and he is going in a hundred times threatening consequences and telling her to be quiet. Dude. She wants attention and you are giving her tons of it. Oh but how can I not see that it's unfair to Anna who can't sleep because of her sister?
It would have been over an hour ago without all the extra drama. Ignore them!!!!!

And every time the baby makes a noise in his sleep, H is saving the day by rocking him to sleep!

I mean what would those kids do without him?

They'd sleep, that's what they'd do. FML. He won't even let him fuss two minutes. He is going back and forth between the two rooms. Rocking the baby. Threatening Sophia. Rocking the baby. Laying down with Sophia. Rocking the baby. Laying down with Anna.

Then when he gets five free minutes he bitches about how I am letting him do everything and how selfish and unhelpful I am being.

Can someone come kill him?

[wowhead]

On my way. Do you have a place to hide the body?

The ground is not frozen hard yet. I have a shovel.

If he has long leg hair I can nip this shit in the bud in a hot second.

LOL

[speckledfrog]

Flip him off behind his back. It'll help you feel better.

[RoxMonster]

I agree with letting him run himself ragged. Sit back, prop up your feet and drink some wine. Or go take a hot bath. With wine. Lock the door so he can't come in. Play music to drown out his whining.

Laying down with Anna? Isn't she like 7?

No. Lol

[bugandbibs]

Every time you post, I feel like you are the Canadian version of my life. Except for the lice- I leave that at work.

In other words, I feel your pain.

Yeah?
So 7yo are not supposed to like cuddles anymore? Lol

I am drinking. I think they are finally all asleep and I just "explained" to him brightly why I think he is an idiot.

[thinkofthesoldiers]

This is just shocking, really.

Hey! I'm on your side here!

I've never laid down with my kids to get them ton sleep though. They always thought that meant play wrestling time. So maybe I don't get it.

Lol, do you even like your H Papie??

Shockingly yes, a lot.

[buffyasummers]

Sometimes I think they do this shit just to be able to throw it in our faces. Let him run himself ragged. He might learn a thing or two.

David is six and we TOTALLY still snuggle. I don't even care if it's weird. I hope we still snuggle at seven. :::tear:::

You know, H is a great dad but sometimes I feel like he goes way overboard with the threats. I'm like, dude. Calm down. He's the most patient guy until David tests him and then he also goes into major consequence threats too quickly. It's just weird. H is definitely the most calm, patient and logical of the two of us unless it comes to David. Suddenly *I* have all of the patience.

[sofamonkey]

stellas, I think you have been thinking of smuggling, which IS bad. 





Snuggling is fine. 

[mushmouse]

One of the reasons we only have one child is because I likely would have killed my husband if we had another.  Or divorced him, maybe.  Either way the marriage would not have survived a second.

Not even when they're sick? You never bring them into your bed after a bad dream?

No. I slept in the guest room with Payne once. He was an infant and had an insanely high fever, like 104 or more. I gave him meds and then stared at him and felt his head all night. Their bed has always been their space I guess. We snuggle on the couch. On very rare mornings they come get in my bed after they wake up, but no one goes back to sleep.

[thebuddhagouda]

We've never snuggled for sleep either. If someone else is in his bed, it's party time. Even when he was a baby. He simply will NOT sleep with another person in the room.

We curl up on the couch together to watch movies and read books and sometimes just because but never for bed.

I love snuggles before bed. Dd1 is 9 and we still do a 5 minute snugge before lights out.

OP sorry your husband was being an ass!
