Dad Refuses to Put Son to Bed, Moves to Separate Room

Being a parent is no easy task, especially when it comes to establishing a consistent sleep schedule for your little one. One dad (35m) has had enough of his wife’s (29f) approach to their two-year-old son’s bedtime routine. He works full time, while she is a stay-at-home mom. Their son should be getting around 13 hours of sleep a day, but the mom’s new method of putting him to bed has made it nearly impossible for the dad to get him to sleep at night.
