How much help should I expect from nightshift husband?
Hi! SAHM to a 2 year old and 6 month old. My husband has been on nightshift since before I got pregnant with my 6 month old. Since then we have had the same recurring fight. He works 5p-3:30a. He goes to sleep around 5a and wakes around 12:30/1p. That is when my kids are typically going down for a nap so he doesn’t really have much parenting to do on weekdays since he gets ready to leave while they are just waking up from their nap. I feel like he should go to sleep earlier on the weekends and get up and help me with them. Instead he stays up having all this me time snacking and playing video games while we are sleeping. He gets Friday, Saturday, Sunday off. If I try to get him up a little early like 11 in the morning, he complains the entire day about how tired he is and will keep trying to take a nap. All I want is less time solo parenting on the weekends. Is that asking too much? Should I leave his circadian rhythm be since this is providing a wonderful life for us?
