I asked for help.....

We had tea a little late as it took a lot longer than I’d hoped so it was gone 8pm
Gave baby her milk at 9 and tuck her up to bed and boom she was wide awake. My two year old was still up ( she don’t sleep on her own someone has to go up with her, it’s a working progress)
Boyfriend come in living room after watching videos on his laptop in kitchen and says “ it’s getting later and later there both being up” and I said I can’t put our two year old to bed till babies in bed. And after five minutes he says he’s going bed so he goes up about an hour later babies about ready for sleep so I take her up and he’s in bed watching a video. go back down and listen to monitor till baby is asleep ( they both sleep in same room, but I can’t take em up at same time as baby won’t fall asleep if I’m in room)
And now 11pm and I’m sat in there room waiting for two year old to fall asleep.

Must I ask him every time when he can see I need help with them like he could of tuck our two year old up to bed when he went up she was ready for sleep.

I’ve still got to clean kitchen and living room till I go bed.
Open your eyes man

I wish he would notice, but you have to tell him when you need help.
These are the most challenging times, when your babies are small. Two people makes all the difference.
You're doing great!

@rottenrobi I do ask normally but some times it would be nice for him to notice.

@MiraRoss Yeah, I know.. I wish you didn't have to ask as well, but you do. Don't be a martyr, and take it all on yourself. This will only lead to resentment and anger.
I dont know him or your situation, but as long as he isn't abusing you guys, he's trainable. Be diligent.
You've got this.
