AITA?
I’m just wondering whether I’m completely insane or whether I’m expecting too much? This is the 5th time I’ve had to settle my little girl tonight.
Friday and Saturday nights are my husbands nights to settle our little girl if she gets upset or wakes up crying as she does not need feeding every time. He gets in a mood in 2 minutes and just dumps her on the bed and lets her cry until I give in and sort it out.
He’s never been very good at emotions and comforting people so I asked him if this was an issue for him and he said yes. I just said that he will need to learn to find a way because soon I will be going back to work and will not be doing this every night and working full time. He blew up and is now ignoring me.
Like why are you in a mood?? I’m the one that has to get up every single time and fix it…you don’t even try? You just try to roll over and go back to sleep because you can’t be arsed. It sounds silly but my body hurts I’m so angry.
I’m honestly so sick of this, obviously I love my child and don’t mind settling her if I need to but when he can’t even be bothered to try…when am I supposed to sleep and rest exactly? He’s currently snoring next to me 5 minutes after blowing up in my face and I’m about to hit the roof

You’re completely in the right. He needs to be putting in more effort to support her and you. Going back to work means things should be more 50/50 between both parents. I would be furious and it’s the worst when your partner sleeps after an argument like it’s nothing. I’m in the same boat at the minute worrying how I’m going to do everything once I’m back in work.
