Welcome to the world of new parenthood, where sleep is a luxury and 6AM is the new midnight! Our tale revolves around a 30-year-old mom and her 40-year-old husband, both first-time parents to an adorable 3-month-old baby boy. As with many newborns, their little one doesn’t quite understand the concept of ‘nighttime’ yet. This has led to an ongoing debate between the couple about who should handle the early morning wake-up calls. Let’s dive into the drama!

The Early Morning Feeding Fiasco: A New Parent’s Dilemma!
The saga of sleepless nights and early morning wake-ups has left our new mom feeling frustrated and sleep-deprived. Despite the dad working from home, his reluctance to handle the 6AM feeding has sparked a debate. The mom, now a stay-at-home parent, feels that sharing the ‘night’ duties shouldn’t be an issue. After all, isn’t parenting a team effort? The internet has had its say, and it seems the dad has taken the hint. But will this resolve the early morning drama? Only time (and sleep) will tell!
