My Dh doesnt get up to Aiden, nor do i expect him to. Whilst i agree that parenting is a shared responsibility, my DH's responsibility is to earn money, which thus enables me to be a SAHM, and in turn, give Aiden the best care possible.
Occassionally, if Aiden is having a bad night, then, i will wake DH up to take over, and generally, just the calmer parent generally does the trick pretty nicely.
My DH works 6 days a week, is a supervisor in a tilt up concrete construction company, works at heights etc, and i would hate for him to have accident or to inadvertadently (sp??) cause an accident due to being over tired. My theory is i can always have an early night, or, sleep during the day when Aiden is asleep.
