"sleep when the baby sleeps"
Yeah because there's absolutely nothing that needs to be done once I finally get my daughter down. No washing and sterilising, for prep for us or for her, general chores around the house which you can never do effectively one handed. And fuck me if I wanted to try and relax and have an actual evening after they're down too.
"Sleeping like a baby" had also never seemed like such a juxtaposition!
I feel like the phrase "sleeping like a baby" was not created by someone who was a primary caretaker for a baby.
Exactly, unless they actually meant it to mean "for no more than 30 minutes then wake up crying inconsolably because I've shit myself."
Then they hit the nail on the head and people have just misconstrued it!
