A woman is fuming with her husband as he refuses to change his sleep schedule to get their daughter ready for the babysitter.
Her work recently requested she be in earlier due to the holiday season approaching but due to her husband only getting in from work in the early hours, he does not want to tweak his sleep pattern to get their newborn ready for the sitter.
The mum took to Reddit to explain that she gets their seven-month-old ready in the morning and will pick her up in the evening from the sitter as well as get her ready for bed.
In the post, the woman, who remained anonymous, explained: "I returned to work when she was three- months- old.
"Since I've returned to work I typically take care of her in the morning, drop her off with a baby sitter then go to work. I also pick up our daughter after work."
She went onto explain that her husband works an opposite schedule and will often get home between 1am- 4am meaning he sleeps during the day to be ready for work at night.
"Due to the holidays I have to start work at 5:30am. So I am unable to drop our daughter off with the babysitter," explained the woman.
"I asked my husband if he could get up with her at 6:30am get our daughter ready and then my mum will pick her up and bring her to the babysitter. He then has seven hours before he needs to wake up for work."
But her husband was not keen on this idea and felt she was interrupting his sleep schedule too much so it would be unfair to make him do that.
She stated: "Am I asking too much? If the baby cries at night I get her. I still pick her up after work and when my schedule goes back to normal end of January I will be the one to get her ready in the morning and pick her up.
"I feel like I do everything and it isn't that hard to get her ready and then go back to bed."
In response, many have been quick to support the mum and say it was not unreasonable for her to ask.
One person wrote: "He's a parent, you are asking him to be a parent. He needs to suck it up."
While another penned: "You mean asking your husband to parent? No it's not unreasonable at all."
