Today I tried desperatly to keep my girls quiet while my husband took a nap after working a night shift. He decided to work nights. I have a two year old who wants to play because that's what kids do. He woke up pissed for not sleeping at all and yelling at me for not controlling our kids... FML

I'm nowhere near your situation, therefore I'm not going to attempt giving any form of advice nor blame, OP I'm just wishing the best for you. You are a strong person, you know, keep it up, friend.

My ex used to pull crap like that - one of the many reasons he is my ex. If he cant sleep through the extra noise of toddlers, then he has no business taking a night shift.

Maybe he should’ve thought about what happens when you come home after a night shift and have children before choosing it.

Hey OP! Creative idea (if it’s nice out) could always try taking them to a park, bonus if you have a dog and it’s a dog park so they can play with the pups! It works well with the children I babysit!

Hand him some ear plugs and tell him to deal with it, or switch to dayshift. You shouldn’t be blamed for his child being loud.

so its his child when it is being loud? Maybe he has to take the job for the family to stay financially stable? He is the sole provider, but sure being a mom is the hardest job in the world....

He probably sleeps like a rock on the couch all weekend while the kids scream and play 2 feet away with the TV blaring while the wife vacuums. I did divorce one of these!

As someone who works night shift and has children, YDI. Take them to a park for a few hours, go and visit people, go to the shops. My husband does an amazing job at letting me sleep after night shift

You are a saint! Thank you. Marriage is about working together, and if one partner works nights you need to help so that person can get the necessary sleep.

I understand completely. I have a 4 year old and my husband work nights. You sit there thinking if they were to have a role reverse.

setting up an unreasonable situation then punishing partner for not doing the impossible is potentially an abusive behaviour. Take care.

He definitely overreacted. I’ve been in the same position, and fortunately for me my wife is a saint and brushed off my complaining and grumbling. Hopefully he apologized later and once he gets adjusted to the shift stops being as grouchy. Best of luck.

Mine naps in the living room and expects our four year old to be quiet. Ain't gonna happen. I point out he has a perfectly good bedroom to nap in. If he's on the couch where our kid plays, the TV is, and the pets are, that's HIS problem. YOURS needs to grown the f*ck up and figure this out. If he can't realize he needs earplugs and/or a white noise machine, his problem.
