AITA for calling every morning?

Parenting is never as simple as following a rulebook—especially when two people have different ideas of what “good parenting” looks like. In my case, what started as a loving gesture of checking in on my toddler every morning has turned into a major point of conflict with my wife. What I thought was concern for my child’s well-being, she sees as control over her parenting. Now I’m left wondering: am I being protective, or am I just crossing a line?

Now it’s Reddit’s turn to weigh in on this mess.

At the end of the day, my wife and I both want what’s best for our son, even if our methods clash. While I can’t stand the thought of my little boy waiting alone for hours in his crib, I also realize my wife is struggling with her own health battles that make mornings harder for her. This isn’t about one of us being a “bad parent,” but about learning to navigate parenting as a team without stepping on each other’s toes. Still, I can’t shake the question: Does love for my son justify my morning calls, or am I slowly becoming the a**hole in this situation?
