A recent post in the "Am I the A—hole" subreddit has readers in a frenzy.

A man went to the forum to complain about the responsibilities split between him and his wife.

For context, the wife works two half days a week while her sister watches the baby. The husband works full-time and goes to school one day a week.

"We've always had an arrangement where she takes care of the household duties (cooking, cleaning, and now baby care) while I happily support her monetarily. Honestly, we are both living our dream life and my wife does an absolutely spectacular job taking care of me and our little one," the OP states.

Dream life? Yeah, this one should be good.

Their 6-month-old, who has recently entered a sleep regression, continues to wake up every two hours throughout the night.

He states, "Since my wife breast feeds, she's always taken care of the baby full-time overnight. She's a light sleeper and unfortunately has insomnia, whereas I am a deep sleeper and wouldn't wake up for baby cries anyways."

Naturally, likely due to exhaustion, the wife has asked the husband to step in both days on the weekends so she can get an extra hour of sleep.

Oh, the horror!

But it gets better.

"But sometimes, I want to be the one that gets to sleep in an extra hour."

They proceeded to get into an argument, the wife understandably standing her ground.

"We got into an argument about it, and she said I'm being very insensitive when I know she is very exhausted and cant nap during the day and she struggles going back to sleep every time the baby wakes up. But I'm exhausted too."

And even though he works full-time and goes to school one day a week, he still believes he deserves to have an hour that's not dedicated to napping.

"I sometimes want the hour in the morning. I don't want to spend my off time napping, I want to play videogames and chill out."

So what I've gathered from this is that the wife is asking the husband to wake up early (one hour earlier, at that) on one more day on the weekends so that she can use that hour for sleep. And who knows if she's even sleeping!

If you've even made it this far without having an aneurysm, the commenters had plenty to say to this husband.

"YTA, if she's taking all the night duty because you don't wake up, then you get the morning duty when you do wake up so she can catch up on her lost sleep in the night. You want a morning off, give her a night off."

Well, that might make too much sense. What about the video games?? Don't you understand the gravity of the situation??

Another takes the same stance, "You don't think she wants to just chill out and do something on her own time? She's working too by not just going to work, but also taking care of the baby. The least you could do is give her some time to sleep in. She's right; you can nap and do whatever, she can't. And unless you're going to offer to take over the feeding through formula, the ONLY time she gets a break is if baby is sleeping or she's off to work."

We can only assume that you agree with us and the commenters, but if you want to let off some steam, feel free to let us have it in the comments!
