Sorry for length but I don't want to drip feed. Background I work 25 hours a week over 3 days, dh works 40 hours on shift basis but mainly nights. Dh usually gets jome from night shift at 4.30 or 5am and goes straight to bed). We have 2 dc boy of 6 and girl of 2. Details here might out me but I don't care!!! I do all cooking and vast majority of housework and cleaning. He will help out occasionally around the house (clear away plates at dinner empty dishwasher etc). I do most of childcare but he is quite hands on and helps at bedtime, does school run at hometime most days. On the days I work childcare for our 2 dc is shared between my dm and 2 dsil ( his 2 dsis). I start work at 8am and work 10 min drive away and on days where my mum or dsil1 have dcs i drop them off and they do morning school run. On days dsil2 has them dh drops me at work ( gets up after couple hours sleep) takes dd to dsil house and sits with a cuppa until school time when he drops son off and goes back to bed. When he gets up anytime between 1pm and 2.45pm he does not go to pick up dd from whoever has her but will as previously said go and pick up ds from school. If we are both in the house it is generally me who minds children makes sure safe unless i specifically say to him to keep an eye on dc so i can do something. Today is first day dsil2 has had dc since returing from holiday and since ds went back after half term so dh had had about 2 weeks of uninterrupted sleep in morning. Ds only returned to school yesterday so is more tired than usual.
Now the aibu bit ( sorry again for long post) as ds tired I let him sleep longer than usual and woke him in time to get him washed dressed for school but not fed. I assumed dsil2 would be able to feed him (she usually makes toast for both dc anyway but ds normally fed before he goes) and had sent a text to her to say could she feed him. Dh woke up as i was getting ds up at 7.30 and started a rant asking wtf had i been doing all morning (i got up at 6.15 showered dried hair got make up on got my bag ready for work got dc clothes bags shoes etc ready did not even have time for breakfast). He kept on ranting in background while i got dc ready and jackets on etc and whilst he was making himself a smoothie. I tend to let him go on as he does not run out of steam but builds himself up into a tizzy and I would be put of his way soon. He said i was selfish and lazy for not feeding ds and that now he would have to stay at dsil2 house til son fed before going on school run. I thought he does this anyway. He says he doesn't want that anymore and I only care for myself and am a bad mum for not making sure dc fed before leaving house. He says he is fed up interrupting his sleep to get me to work and I have no idea what it is like. Fwiw i get up most nights with dd. AIBU and lazy? I was on mumsnet whilst drying my hair so maybe took longer than I should have. He said he thought we were ok then i have to go and do this to him. Please show me his side of story as i really feel i was not BU. If i was i can apologise and change my routine and we can move on. If he is then he will never admit and will still believe that I am a lazy selish cow. Sorry
