I work 5 days a week and take out DD to early morning clubs on Saturday so I rarely get to sleep in past 6.30. DH and I both appreciate our rest and he gets to sleep in every Saturday and I occasionally get a Sunday lie in if our 3 yr old DD allows it. I am off work for a few days for half term and was up late Sunday and last night with our DD (think 1pm and 11pm) as he was feeling unwell. This morning he woke me up at 7.30 to say Happy Valentine's Day. I was fast asleep and he just poked my cheek until I woke up. He claims he thought he was being sweet but he knows once I'm awake I can't get back to sleep. I ended up getting up 10 minutes later and made breakfast for us both as a gesture to his trying to be sweet. He was able to go back to sleep until 9. While I have just been up tidying and fuming. We have been arguing recently about childcare and chores. I work full time while he only works a few evenings a week and yet insists we split childcare 50/50. So I have to hire childcare for half the day and then do nearly every evening. Then I have to do most of the household chores when I get back from work. I want to let it go and accept it was just an innocent mistake but I can't help feeling annoyed. (BTW he would pribably say he works more than 3 evenings a week as he is a musician - however as it does not bring in any income and he does not work on this every day or even every week I find it hard to think of it as more than a hobby).

AIBU?
AIBU to think DH was being passive aggressive rather than sweet?
