[QUOTE="takyris, post: 3692398, member: 5171"] Not to be contrary, but: That's your power dynamic. That's not how it is, or should be, for everyone. Note, I say that as a dad who changes diapers. Putting these absolute "that's how it must be" statements up there isn't gonna work for all families. Unrest for whom? Right now, I sleep most of the night (but am available to be woken up should my wife need an assist or a time-out), and I watch the kids so that she can sneak naps in elsewhere. (I just got back from lunch at home, watching the Dude for an hour while she slept.) I'd suggest that the family figure out something that works for the family. Maybe that means that everyone is up whenever anyone is up. Maybe it means that mom pumps, and the baby is always fed from a bottle, which means that mom and dad can alternate shifts at night. Maybe it means something completely different. [/QUOTE]
