My partner continues to complain about being tired but constantly goes to bed after 11 weekdays and usually after 1 am on weekends, which means he never wakes up for our kids on the weekend I’m always up with them even if that is after I’ve had a night out. Is this normal or
Selfish

My partner is the same. Doesn't help himself smh.
He does care for the baby though but I wish he'd sleep earlier so he doesn't have to suffer through it.
I think it's because it's some of the only time he gets to himself to game or watch series etc.
Id have a bigger issue with it if he started to not attend to baby.

That’s really selfish. Our normal bedtime is 11 now but we’ve always been night owls and he’s always woken up early for baby on weekends, ESP when I’ve had a late Friday night out he lets me sleep in on the Sat knowing I’m tired. Sat and Sunday mornings I wake up to my baby not in the room w me- Hubbys taken him out to the lounge and gives him back to me around 12 if I’m still in bed for a BF back to sleep and I can go back to sleep too if I want, if we have nothing on. If we have something on them we all wake early and get ready.

My partner works 14 12h night shifts a month ( every 2nd week) he then had 4 days off before he does 6 day shifts. On the days he is off I don’t mind him staying up late because he works so many hours he needs time for himself too. I don’t think post gives enough insight on your personal situation for anyone to judge, but if he is a working man who works long hours, I wouldn’t call it selfish

Thank goodness no. He always goes to sleep anywhere between 9:00 to 10:00.

We usually do one night on the weekend where we will stay up pretty late, anywhere from 11pm-2am. But typically only that one day so that he can get regular sleep the next night to get back in the groove for work, plus hopefully sleep in a bit

My partner was a little like this in the beginning as that was just how his life was for years, but after talking and me explaining why I generally go to bed a bit earlier, life is just different now and we have to roll with it, he's a lot better. We go to bed at the same time, he rarely watches tv in bed if I'm trying to sleep and we both help each other find time to ourselves to fill our cups without it eating into valuable sleep time

It’s selfish and self absorbed

This was happening with me. I expressed we needed to do time blocking so we each get a break. My husband stays up and sleeps and when he wakes he takes baby for hours and i go off and do what i want. Then later, he can have some time to hiself.
