OK - first AIBU, and not an equal roles question really. I put the kids to bed 5 nights a week, but DH does 2 nights (I work on those evenings so he is home alone with the kids, he works full time, office hours. I am home with 3 kids in the day (the youngest is nearly 2 and home full time).
My AIBU is really that on the nights he puts the kids to bed, he is awake when I get home from work about 10pm, but on the nights I put the kids to bed he is almost always asleep when I come down - even on Saturday, when he hasn't been to work and has had the lie in (I get the Sunday lie in). Bedtime does take ages as the youngest takes a very long time to settle, but it means that on the nights when I actually want to stay up a bit, because I have a lie in coming my way the next day, I am in this weird limbo - don't have the place to myself but don't have his company either, as he is asleep on the sofa.
I probably am BU I guess, but as I came down from an hour and 3/4 of sitting in the dark in the 2 year old's room to the sight of him asleep sitting up, and as he snores like a hibernating bear on the sofa opposite me I feel resentful - AIBU?

AIBU?
to be grumpy that DH falls asleep on the sofa while I am putting the kids to bed?
