Having young kids can really take a toll on parents’ sleep.

This woman breastfeeds her baby throughout the night.

Her husband chooses to stay up late watching TV and playing games.

She doesn’t think it’s fair that he also wants to take a nap. Is she right?

Read the story below for all the details.

AITA for telling my husband he can’t take a nap?

My husband (40M) and I (35F) have two small kids.

They are ages 3 years and 9 months old.

The kids go to bed around 7:30 pm.

We like to spend time together or watch separate shows after.

This woman breastfeeds throughout the night.

On any given night, I’m asleep in front of the TV or in bed reading by 8:30 pm or 9 at the latest.

The baby still wakes up every 3 to 4 hours on a good night to breastfeed.

Needless to say, I’m very tired most times.

Her husband has his “me time” late at night.

My husband, on the other hand, chooses to stay up until 11 pm.

Sometimes, he’s still up at 1 am, watching TV or playing video games.

He does whatever else he decides is “me time” when we’re all asleep on weekends.

We both work 9 to 5, while kids are in daycare.

She wakes up early with the kids, and he sleeps in.

Now, the kids are up at the crack of dawn.

But he fully expects to get to sleep in while I take the kids on weekend mornings.

If he does get up with the kids, so I can sleep more, he wants a nap at some point in the day.

She thinks it’s unfair for him to nap during the day.

I think it’s unfair that he gets “me time.”

He uses it to stay up like some night owl freaking teenager, every weekend!

He should know better at this point in parenting/life.

He has stated I am being “unfair.”

He said that if I can nap, he should get naps, too.

She doesn’t know if she’s right.

There’s a chance I’m sleep deprived and hormonal, but I’d love for you all to weigh in.

AITA for thinking he should go to bed at a reasonable hour?

And he should not get to nap if he chooses to stay up.

It sounds like they both need “me time” and a nap.

Tell him to suck it up, says this person.

This one’s a valid point, too.

Finally, here’s more helpful advice.

“Me time” or nap time? He can’t have both.
