Every. Single. Day...at least two people at work ask me “Is he sleeping?”
When does this stop? Because I need it to. Why do people care if he’s sleeping? Nobody warned me about this ridiculous small talk that seems to have been added on top of bitching about the weather.
Yeah it's almost a trope to assume babies don't sleep. They stop asking eventually and then ask about teething and potty training and when are you having another! Because people are nosy!
Our daughter (now 20) would not go to sleep until 10:30 every night. She would sit in her swing and watch Talk Soup and then pass out. Now we can't keep her awake long enough to do the dishwasher!
Our son (now 16) was a sleeper. Lay him down and out. He's still the same way.
Congrats and best of luck! No one said having kids was easy!
