i feel like i'm the only one awake every single night while my partner sleeps and taking a good rest. and i need some help for my night shift taking a look for my newborn. someone told me a good monitor with an app might help because my partner could actually check on the baby themselves without me having to nudge them awake and narrate every little thing. like if they could see and track what's happening on their own phone.

did a baby monitor actually make a difference for anyone in terms of splitting nighttime duties more evenly? or is that just wishful thinking lol

kinda dumb for only realizing this now but i think a coworker has been slowly passing their tasks onto me over the past couple weeks. it started small, like “hey can you help me with this real quick” and i didn’t think much of it. but now i’m noticing i’m doing stuff that is fully their responsibility. now i’m in this awkward spot where if i suddenly stop helping it’s gonna look like i’m the one changing for no reason. but also I don’t want this to become my actual workload.

do i bring it up directly or just start saying no and hope they get the hint? how do people usually deal with this without making things weird at work?
