Why don’t men wake up at night?!!

This morning started like any other... 5h40 I hear whispers coming from the other room... 5h45 I can hear the heavy stomp... 5h46 I feel someone coming on our bed, jumping up and down, saying “morning! Wake up!”

I have had enough... I just want to sleep for a whole week! Why don’t they let me sleep? Why do they wake up so early? I can’t wait for the day they will be sleeping until midday and I will set my alarm clock to go and wake them up jumping on their bed!

So why don’t men wake up at night?

When we had Elliott, Craig would sleep through the crying at 3am and as soon as Nala would snore (slightly louder than usual) he would jump out of bed arms, duvet flying and ready for the fight!

Now here is "his" explanation to this. It all goes back to prehistoric men; you know when we were living in a grotto, with no electricity, no tap water, no designer clothes... Hell really. So back then men were programmed to protect their families from predators and were then more likely to hear noises that meant danger.

That’s why now, The Man hears when someone whispers next to his car at 3 am and can spend a good 15 min making sure that this “predator” is not going to touch his “baby”. The man will also hear a cat walking on the garage roof and will go downstairs with the dog to make sure no “predator” is trying to steal his lawn mower.

The woman will be programmed to do lots of things such as washing, cooking the dear brought back from hunting, ironing with stones and making sure she feeds and HEARS the baby at 3 am!

So the woman decided that if the man doesn’t wake up at night, then he will have to go to work with a bear skin on his back and no shoes at all, because all his shirts and shoes will be given to Oxfam!

Got it?!

Sighhhhh. That is so true. Tsk. Maybe we should train the children to make car alarm noises?? :D

So true; my sig. other commented on how settle the baby was last night because we (or rather I)got him down with min. fuss at 8pm. Hmmmm, he was great, apart from the waking at 3am, 4am and 6am....
