Man Sparks Online Debate After Making His Heavily Pregnant Wife Get Up At 3am To Tend To Their Baby

In the bustling life of a devoted couple, responsibilities of work, parenthood, and an incoming baby have succeeded in causing a rift that neither is prepared to own up to. Our narrator (Original Poster) finds himself in the midst of this whirlwind, juggling career demands and his growing family's needs. 

With a loving wife who is six months pregnant and a charming 1.5-year-old, each day is a delightful adventure with joy and a hint of weariness. Together, they have established a routine that balances their roles and ensures their little one receives the attention he deserves.

Nighttime rituals were once a shared duty, but OP took it upon himself to lead the charge in sleep training their child. Recognizing his wife's fatigue during her pregnancy, OP decided to maintain the arrangement of tending to their child during the night when needed.

As fate would have it, OP’s professional life demanded his undivided attention during a crucial time. He was heavily involved in planning a once-a-year conference, which gradually ate up his strength as the event drew closer.

After a long, draining conference, OP returned home, desperately seeking rest. Unfortunately, their child got up at 3 am and needed someone to put him back to sleep.

Overwhelmed with exhaustion, OP asked his wife to handle it, as he had already made it clear that he was stepping back from late-night duties for that particular day.

In the morning, OP woke up to an angry wife, who labeled him as inconsiderate for leaving their son's care all to her. She highlighted her own fatigue from pregnancy and the added responsibility of dropping off and picking up the child from childcare throughout the week.

Reflecting on the situation, OP questions whether he made the right decision by not tending to the child during the night and seeks to understand his wife's perspective.
