This 30-year-old man has a wife, who is also 30, as well as a 1-year-old daughter.

But, while his wife normally wakes up around 11:00 a.m. every morning, their daughter is an early riser and always gets up at 7:00 a.m.

Now, he claimed that his wife had always been more of a night owl. However, before she had a baby, she was still working, and waking up early became normal for her.

Then, his wife began suffering from strong postpartum depression, and he wound up quitting his job to be there for both his wife and their daughter.

Yet, one year later, his wife has continued staying up very late– until about 3:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m.– and sleeping in every morning.

He now needs to work, though, and recently landed a new job– which he will be starting next month.

So, he decided to have a serious talk with his wife and express how he felt concerned for their daughter’s well-being with his wife sleeping in so much.

“And I said that I’d like her to go to bed early and wake up earlier since I’ll be going to work and can’t look out for our child,” he recalled.

Well, rather than understanding that, his wife reportedly just lashed out at him. She claimed that he was in no position to point fingers or judge her.

But, quite frankly, he really doesn’t understand her perspective.

“If she won’t listen to me, her husband and friend, then to whom will she listen?” he asked.

Now, he wanted to reiterate that he does really love his wife and believes she is a great mother. Nonetheless, the fact that she isn’t able to wake up when their daughter wakes up just seems irresponsible to him as a parent.

So, he’s been left wondering whether he’s justified in wanting his wife to wake up early or if he’s really just missing something.

Can you understand why he wants his wife to wake up at the same time as their baby? Does it sound like she is still struggling and might need some professional help before he heads back to work? How would you handle this situation?
