This is part of his attempt to convince lawmakers that TikTok is integrally woven into the hearts and minds of tens of millions of Americans and poses no national security risk. And it will be unavoidable Thursday morning when he testifies before a bipartisan panel of elected antagonists on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.Ĭhew is slated to unveil new data during the hearing showing that the app has been downloaded by more than 150 million Americans and used by 5 million US businesses. That disconnect has consumed the narrative around the app since CEO Shou Zi Chew took the helm of TikTok roughly two years ago. However, he needs to pick up the slack, support his wife, and put the video games to the side for a bit.TikTok is the hottest app on the planet-and the most-hated tech in Washington, DC. First, some users empathized with the OP, noting that kids going through sleep regressions is hard on the whole family. He then asks Reddit users to give their opinion on whether or not he’s being the a-hole in this scenario, and well, they had some thoughts. I don't want to spend my time off napping I want to play video games and chill out.”Īnyone else need to take a few deep breaths before reading further? Work wears me out, school days are long, and I sometimes want the hour in the morning. “We got into an argument about it, and she said I'm being very insensitive when I know that she is very exhausted and can't nap during the day, and struggles going back to sleep every time the baby wakes up. I brought this up to her, and she says while she's happy to let me nap during the day, she really needs that hour because she can't nap like I can,” he wrote. “But sometimes, I want to be the one that gets to sleep in an extra hour. However, this doesn’t work for the OP, who claims that he is also exhausted from the week and would like to sleep or play video games during that “extra hour” in the morning instead of giving his obviously stretched-too-thin wife. The baby wakes up around 7 a.m., so I'd get the baby dressed and take over for that hour,” he explained. “Recently, my wife has been asking me to wake up with the baby both days on the weekends so she can get an extra hour of sleep. How dare she try to “sleep in” until 7 a.m.? His wife has expressed to him that she is exhausted and would love to be able to sleep in until 7 a.m. This is where things get complicated for the OP. She's a light sleeper and unfortunately has insomnia, whereas I am a deep sleeper and wouldn't wake up for baby cries anyways,” he wrote.Īh, the “deep sleeper” excuse that is as old as the stars! our girl has hit a bit of a sleep regression, waking up every two hours - since my wife breastfeeds, she's always taken care of the baby full-time overnight. He seems to have no issue with this saying that the situation makes sense due to his wife’s sleeping habits. His wife is up every two hours with the six-month-old, breastfeed and tending to her needs, while he sleeps the night away. However, their baby girl has recently been going through some weird sleeping patterns resulting in a snag in their routine. He then goes on to explain that when it comes to the weekends, they share responsibilities - making such each parent gets some time during the day to do something to unwind and refuel themselves. Honestly, we are both living our dream life, and my wife does an absolutely spectacular job taking care of me and our little one.” “We've always had an arrangement where she takes care of the household duties (cooking, cleaning, and now baby care) while I happily support her monetarily. I work full-time and go to school one day a week,” he wrote. She works two half days a week, and her sister watches the baby. “My wife and I have a 6-month-old baby girl. He supports her monetarily while she is left to do pretty much everything else regarding the house and kid. Now, at first glance, this seems pretty innocent, right? Well, let’s examine this further.įirst, the original posted (OP) claims that he and his wife are both “living dream life,” as he works full-time, and she is a stay-at-home mom who works half time. Reddit user u/tireddad667 asked for his internet peers’ advice in the “ Am I The Asshole” subreddit, wondering if he’s in the wrong for requesting a "morning off" from taking care of their baby on weekends. For one dad who reached out in the “Am I The A-Hole?” Reddit thread, that has to be the case because there’s just no way this is how he actually feels. Sometimes, when sleep deprived, people just don’t think straight. When you’ve just brought home a newborn or your baby is going through a weird sleep regression, things get real fast.
