    YTA people want her to be mommy just because he is lazy... and admits it. be an adult and go to sleep earlier. HE is not supporting HER by prioritizing his gaming over her sleep. She works and goes to school and she is supposed to play mommy too?

    It's not that they want her to be "mommy". They simply did not read the entire thing. For example parts where she says that she wakes him up and he still goes back to sleep. Or the parts where he is angry at her that she woke him up.

    I'm stealing "five years old with x years experience" and using it anytime someone asks my husband's or my age. We are both very experienced 5 year olds.

    I would choose regular good sleep over a relationship any day. I can't function without regular good sleep. A couple of days, I can manage. After that I just can't.
