How do you deal with this- Gamer boyfriend
I’m sure most on here have partners who game and I don’t have an issue with it at all but my boyfriend will literally stay on till early hours of the morning with his friends (who don’t have children to wake up for) and then he wonders why I ask him to come off it’s because then in the mornings he can’t help with our 1 year old doesn’t wanna get up just expects lies in constantly (this is when he’s not in work obvs)
I get we all need a break but when am I allowed one?
I get no help and gotta ask him to get up in the morning takes him over an hour just to get up
It’s like when I’m tired I just gotta get on with things and yet he drains all the energy out of everything and just acts so lazy

This was one of the reasons I split up with my daughter's dad. I hate that men get out of doing an equal share just cos they're a man. It shouldn't all fall on you. If he wants to stay up then fine, but he needs to look after the child's needs too. If he is then tired, it's on him but the responsibilities don't disappear cos he is shattered x

He needs to understand he is a father now and has responsibilities. Why does it always fall on the mother to be full time care giver. If babies up we are up, we can't have a lie in and take an hour to get ready and then see to the baby. My husband was a huge gamer before we had our son. Luckily he has cut his playing time right down and only does it in his leisure time or when baby is asleep. We do split shifts from Friday evening to Monday evening as he's off work. He comes home from work Friday 6pm and starts his baby shift from 9pm till 3 pm the next day, we then swap every 24hrs. This means I get a break and can get a good night sleep and a lie in if I want. My husband can do the same on his shift. You need to talk to him and maybe try something like we do as it works for us. He will still have his gaming time but also you get a break too. X
