Should I let him miss the appointment he booked?

Baby Daddy has been sleeping ALL day, woke up once to use the bathroom and then said “I’m going back to bed”. Says he doesn’t feel well, however this is a continual pattern..

We’ve been bickering all week about a variety of issues (this excessive sleeping/him not pulling his weight being one) So he booked us a therapy session so he could “have someone else explain why I’m wrong” It starts at 9pm (virtual) I’ve been alone with baby all day and I’m tired. It seems as though he’s forgotten about this meeting. Should I wake him up like his Mother or let him sleep through it and suffer the consequences (no show fee) to make a point? I can’t help but have the “if he doesn’t care I don’t care either” mentality rn.
Opinions please..

My humble opinion is, get on the virtual session right next to him and blast the audio 🙂

Normally i would say yes let him miss whatever appointment but as its a therapy appointment its probably best you both do attend as it may help the relationship

Sometimes he makes attempts to set multiple alarms, I hear them go off, I get hopeful he’ll take it seriously, then I hear it get silenced and him settle back to sleep for another several hours. I’m so frustrated.

Did the sleep trend change while i wasnt looking?

From my perspective, 4-5 years ago everyone was all about schedules and structures and Moms On Call and ferber method sleep training. As soon as my son was born early 2025, it felt like a huge shift in attitude. People were horrified / thought we were idiots for being on a schedule, i have been insulted for not baby wearing, and i have been talked to by MANY people like im a neglegent mother for rarely contact napping or bed sharing or when we started ferber.

Judge away if you must, maybe its always been this way, but it really feels like there was a huge shift in how we mamage contact and sleep.

Tantrums ( terrible 1s)

Hey ladys

What are we doing about tantrums? I have 18 month old twins and if its not one its the other. I do my best to give them what they need and want, Iv been told to stay calm, ignore them, give them a toy. And most of the time, all their needs will be met. Does anyone have any hacks I can try? And will this every go away?

Transition from next to me cot to bedroom

So my little one is 4 months, and she’s a big girl! She’s starting to outgrow her next to me but I’m worried she’s too little to be in her own room yet (tbh it’s more I’m not ready yet) but when did you guys move baby to their own room and how did the transition go?

Day naps

Where do I put my little one to sleep in the day? He’s almost 4 months & outgrown the Moses basket which I had downstairs, but I’m told I can’t put him in a room without me during the day
