A local father of one is patting himself on the back this week, for making an effort to somewhat pull his weight.

The proud dad of an 11 month old has won praise from his wife, for taking on the 8th morning shift in a row.

Famous amongst his relationship for being a heavy sleeper when his daughter Emilee is cracking it at 2am, Ellis Nathan has been absolutely on fire with the wakeups over the last few days.

"Yeah, just trying to do my bit you know," said Nathan, fighting a yawn at his desk.

"Trying to let Stef get a couple of sleep ins when I can."

Allegations have been levelled at Nathan, that his sprightliness may have coincided with a major international football tournament.

"Oh the World Cup haha."

"Yeah how good's it been, a lot of the 5 and 6 am games have been absolute belters."

When pressed on the allegations, Stef also laughed.

"Whatever."

"I'm so fucking tired."

"If he wants to watch the football, as long as he's keeping an eye on Em, I actually don't care."

"Great, I woke up at 7 this morning and then got to play on my phone for half an hour."

"Screen time for mumma, screen time for bubba, screen time for everyone."

"Whatever."

"It is what it is, and I'm gonna take a win for myself for the next few weeks."

More to come.
