When new parents compete over exhaustion instead of supporting each other

My wife and I have a newborn and we're both exhausted and taking shifts through the night, but instead of feeling like a team we're keeping score of who's more tired and who's doing more, and every 3am feeding feels like a battle. We used to be best friends and now we barely speak except to hand off baby duty.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A couple is turning the shared ordeal of newborn sleep deprivation into a competition rather than an opportunity for partnership.
