Woke up and realized my wife had taken our son to her room sometime during the night. He must've had a nightmare. However, this was supposed to be my night, and according to the rule my wife and I agreed on, if in this case, my wife hears him cry or wake up, she should come get me first. Well guess what -- she didn't.
When this comes up later (which I'm sure it will), she'll probably skirt talking about the rule that she suggested in the first place, and talk about how I could not have heard my son since I'm in the next room. Throughout our marriage she always had trouble understanding how I can be such an occasional deep sleeper - it'd take a lot to wake me up. Tonight was no exception, but she'll probably blow it off and cite my inability to be a good father. Again. ...It's funny also because she has occasional paralysing dreams (where she could be concious, but unable to move and i have to jolt her awake) and that's, in her eyes, is okay, but not my deep sleeping.
That said, should I be drafting out a written agreement regarding this rule - and other things for that matter - to legally protect/bind ourselves? My wife is beginning to renege on her own rules, so I feel something needs to be done.
