I'm really pissed off at the moment. DH has been in the States for a week, came back last night and is understandably rather tired, it was an overnight flight from the States although he did sleep on the plane it was rather fitful.
The DCs were so excited see him, he has been away for a week, prior to that he was away 3 days and came back 24 hours before going to the States, then he was away at a Stag do a few days before that. Basically they've only seen him for about 3 days in the last two weeks. They have all been ill this week and have all been up in the night coughing every night this week. In a nutshell, we're all tired too.
This morning DH had a lie in whilst I took DS and DD1 swimming (DD2 came too to give DH peace) then I got back and got DD1 and DD2 ready for ballet. I then heard DH bawling at DS (7) about the state of his room, really laying into him. He then shouted for DD1 (6) to come upstairs and proceeded to do the same to her. I called up to him and said there was no need for him to them like that and pointed out he has barely seen them lately, etc but he took no notice. I went upstairs to find DS and DD1 both in tears, which is very rare for DS. I was fuming but as we had to go out I had no time to discuss it with DH. As far as I'm aware he hasn't apologised and has shown no remorse for his behaviour. I just can't understand why he thinks it's ok to treat them like that, he has spent no time with them for the last two weeks. I am exhausted too, having to deal with the 3 DCs being ill, working every day and doing all the rest of the stuff and yes I do get grumpy with them at times but I think he has behaved appallingly. Just wanted to rant!

AIBU?
To think that DH should apologise?
