Wife Left Raising Newborn Alone After Husband’s Inability to Function With Little Sleep Leads to a Dispute Between Them: ‘He gets 8 hours of sleep and I get none’

After a couple decides to tie the knot and gets married, the next step is usually kids. But how do couples know they are ready to have children? It seems like such a scary decision, and it's so life-changing, that you have to be 100% sure you are ready for it, but is anyone ever 100% sure about anything? 

My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years, and only now we are starting to feel slightly ready to discuss kids, which means we are having deep conversations about our plans for the future – How we each want to raise our children, how we expect to split the parenting responsibilities between us, and what we wish to get from each other in these times.

The couple in this Reddit story already have two kids, one of which is a newborn, but they now face an issue that stands between them – The husband seems to be unable to function when he does not get 8 hours of sleep, something that is quite impossible with a newborn baby. 

Scroll down to read about the full dispute between them, and what other people on Reddit had to say to the struggling wife. Up next, click here for a story of a wife who refused to parent her stepson.
