ok having been fully flamed in AIBU and swearing never to do another I find myself in the position of needing a little perspective. I have my period, I am tired I may be being irrational.
I was supposed to be going out tonight dh new this, stopped at supermarket on the way home and got nice stuff for older dc and beer for himself. He rang and said what do we need, I say formula and a can of red bull. He arrives, he has neither he has forgotten.
I hand over dc to him at about 5.45 to go and get ready I say "baby dd won't go to bed till a bit later as she had a 2 hour nap from 3-5. I have a bath que constant stream of children and dh banging on the door asking me how long I will be. I come out about 6 and dh is taking baby dd into bath to bath her, usual bedtime routine, again I say she won't sleep early due to nap. He says he is taking her into play, she refuses to get in the bath, she is nearly 10m, I have to go and assist. She lasts about 2 mins, he gets her out dresses her for bed and then leaves her upstairs with me where she cries and climbs up the back of my legs I have to multi task.
Eventually after me giving her back to him he takes her to bed at 6.45 gives her a bottle and as in puts her in the cot with it and leaves her. She cries, a lot. I go back and forth trying to get her to sleep he decides he will go out and get formula he arrives back with formula and then says can I stay whilst he goes and gets himself a take away, I am now late, baby is still crying he goes out for 15mins where baby then becomes hysterical. I go in, she has a horrible cold, I pick her up and rock her to sleep she gets snot all over my dress. I have nothing else suitable to wear, I'm so pissed off with I just got into my pyjamas and text my friends my apologies.
He hasn't spoken to me after saying something like "oh i'm sorry I made a mistake" in a sarcastic voice and has now taken himself off to sleep on the sofa.
I do not wish to leave the bastard but AIBU or do I need to apologise. Sorry I know it's really petty but I have to admit when I have my period I can be quite irrational not going may have been over the top but by that point I was tired, felt like shit about how I looked and just generally could no longer be arsed. I'm sort of failing to see how he is angry with me, perhaps you lot could enlighten me,[ gently] please
