Rules of Sleep for Happy Parents

The following rules need to be in place for the sanity of daddy's
(Please note if mommy is pissed there is no sanity)
  1. If you have a newborn take turns getting up.
  2. Stagger the feedings, the one who is stuck with the 2:00 feeding should not do the 11:00 and 6:00am. feedings.
  3. Take turns sleeping late, don't be a sap and be the one who get's up early every day.
  4. Handle severe meltdowns and illness together.
  5. Watch your children sleep, their cute and their ours. It makes it easier.
  6. Remember they will sleep through the night someday.
  7. Don't pretend to sleep when the baby cries in the hopes that the other person gets up, your already awake.
  8. Its ok to take an afternoon nap when the kids take theirs.
  9. If nobody sleeps then chances are nobody is having sex.

Just a few things that helped us have restful nights. Sweet dreams.
