To all mothers out there, whose husbands sleep peacefully while they stay up all night long to nurse the baby, change the dirty diaper, or sing a song to put the baby asleep again, we have a delightful piece of art for you to read!

Yes, we know that you try your best to control yourself and not wake him up and push him off the bed, and you are not alone. One of you, heroines, decided to pen a poem about her sleeping husband and use all her accumulated energy into something creative.

Namely, Caroline Olling Andersen lives in Dubai with her 2-month-old baby and her husband, and she just started a Mommy Poet Facebook page.

One night at about 4 am, she wrote a poem to her daughter, but it was clearly meant to be read by her husband. This tired mom actually wrote one of the greatest poems we have ever read, and all tired mothers and well-slept partners will surely love it!

Her poetry is brilliant and ruthless!

I love your daddy, I really do,
After all, without daddy, I wouldn’t have you.
But from midnight till sunrise, it’s just you and I.
And as each hour passes, I’m not gonna lie:
Mommy’s love slowly fades, becomes angry and weak,
Because no matter what, your dad is f***ing asleep!

It all starts out lovely. We kiss each other goodnight.
We look lovingly down at you dear, such a beautiful sight.
An hour later, mommy wakes with a start.
You’re twisting and turning, you’re starting to fart.
You’re gesturing for food. Mommy is there
with a bottle or breast
Daddy is snoring away, the way he knows best.

Mommy burps you, and holds you and rocks you with care.
You spew foul smelling yogurt on mommy’s freshly washed hair.
As mommy changes her shirt, and mops vomit off the floor.
Your daddy farts, rolls over and continues to snore.

Mommy’s maternal alarm goes off, it’s not even three!
You’re stirring again, you’re hungry and staring at me!
“I think she is hungry” your daddy offers, pulls duvet over his head,
Mommy sends him a death stare and rolls out of bed.
Mommy comes back, tired and drained and what is this I see?
Your daddy has taken over my side, doesn’t give a f*** about me!

Mommy kicks him and pushes him angrily away.
“What’s up love?” He moans in a lovingly way.
Your daddy has no clue he is under attack.
He wraps his arms around me and kisses my back.
And just as my love for daddy is back on the rise,
You start to coo in your crib and open your eyes.
And daddy gently nudges me to attend to your need.
I give him the finger as I prepare for a feed.

But as the sun starts rising, the slate is wiped clear.
I’m back to full love for your daddy and for you my dear.
I forget that daddy sleeps while you cry and you poo.
It’s back to kissing and hugging and doting on you.

Soon you’ll grow up and be daddy’s little girl.
You’ll not remember me cleaning up shit and vomit hurl.
Whilst you sit on his lap and he sings you a song,
You’ll love him and think daddy could do nothing wrong.
But my sweet love, here is a poem for you to keep,
So you know that all those long nights, dad was f***ing asleep!

After sharing her poem, it almost immediately became a Facebook hit, and Caroline said that there were many comments which shamed her husband for not being active at night, and her for complaining.

She admitted making a deal with her husband during the time she was pregnant, that she would take the night shift, as she has been blessed with long maternity leave.

Therefore, he takes his time to sleep in order to be ready for his 10-12 hour day teaching 10-year-olds. However, she says that her tiredness awoke a lot of passive aggressive feelings in the early hours at night.

She added that parenthood can be difficult, and they try to place their relationship very high on their list of priorities.  Her parents told her that a marriage should be prioritized above the children, as happy parents result in happy children.

Therefore, this couple often had date nights and take time to enjoy each other, so she said that many people misunderstood her poem and recognized anger towards her husband, and all she meant was to write something that will be read with humor and love for both him and their daughter.
