Divide and conquer!
3/26/2009 at 5:49 pm
I'm with you. My husband is quite wonderful re: parenting duties. Our solution to the kiddos has been Divide and Conquer. He takes Shea, I take Maya. He puts Shea to bed 95% of the time, and I put Maya to bed. While Shea sleeps through the night most of the time, she gets up EARLY. So he gets up with her at whatever ungodly hour that might be and tends to her if she wakes up in the middle of the night because of her molars or whatever. While I get up with the baby at night (which used to be only once, though now it is about THREE times, but she goes back to sleep fairly quickly), I also get to sleep in with the baby till somewhere in the 7am-8am range. Sometimes he has an early meeting and I'll have to get up early, but usually it works like that. When S was a baby and up screaming all night we took turns. I am throwing a big fat party once they both start sleeping through the night reliably. If ever.
