It's no fair for our daughter


I know it's not right. I know the right thing to do is be there in the moment with her and be her dad. Why does it affect her? Why can't I control my emotions?I have put our daughter down for bed 13 out of 14 times the last 14 days. This is a regular week in our household, I always put her to bed. It is the one thing I ask my spouse to specifically help me with, put her to bed. Give me a break after a long day at work. It would make me so ecstatic if one day she came up to me and said "hey, I'll put her down tonight so you can relax". I've told her that would mean so much to me. But instead, everyday she passive mentions something that she has to do, insinuating that she cannot put her to bed tonight. "I have to do homework" "I have to go grocery shopping" etc...She knows that is the one thing I ask for help with, but It seems impossible. Everytime she mentions that comment that solidifies that she will not be helping with bedtime, it frustrates me. It makes me snappy with our daughter. I blast through the books so fast, I read her 3 books in like 6 minutes. We rock in the rocking chair for "5 minutes" when I'm reality it's 30 seconds. I am just frustrated that I don't get help from my wife.What do I do. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3k07jHT
