Mom Removed Husband’s Bedroom Lock After He Slept Through An Emergency With Their Son

by SYDNI ELLIS

Sleep is important, something parents know all too well. Enjoying an uninterrupted nap is one of those coveted pleasures from pre-kid life, so it’s understandable why one dad’s daily nap routine is going viral on Reddit. His wife recently shared in a post on the popular sub-Reddit group “Am I the A**hole” that her husband seems to prioritize his own sleep so much that she can’t wake him up in an emergency — and she decided to do something about it. After their son got hurt and her husband wouldn’t come out of his room to help, the wife removed his bedroom door lock.

The mom explained in her recent Reddit post that her husband stays up late at night to play video games, then demands a two-hour nap every evening after work “so he could both make up for lack of sleep and also be ready to stay up late to play with his console.” Apparently, this nap is so important to him that he locks his bedroom door.

“He values his sleep and has one rule in the house that he enforces strictly, which is to not be interrupted while sleeping,” the mom wrote. “He literally put a sign on the bedroom door saying ‘DO. NOT. WAKE. ME. UP.’ under any circumstances.”

Despite this ridiculous demand, which leaves his wife to take care of their 3-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter alone for two hours every evening, this is not actually the part the wife was upset about. She just wanted access to him in an emergency with their child.
