To think it's rude for dh to sleep so much

DH can just fall asleep in the daytime. It's awful as the kids are playing, meaning it's up to me to deal/tend to them making sure they're fed, toileted & clean etc.
He will just randomly snooze on sofa but sometimes it can be a 2 hour nap! I feel quite hurt..AIBU to feel like this?
It's almost like he doesn't want to spend Time with me and us? Or he'd much rather be elsewhere

Am I overreacting? It's not all the time but it's weekends usually when we don't have much planned and mulching about at home.

Wake him up.

I can see it's annoying. But presumably he's knackered? I sleep really badly, and am envious of people (like my DH) who can just drop off in a chair in the daytime.

That doesn't sound normal - google the epworth sleepiness scale, and get him to fill it in. If it's in a concerning range he should go to the GP.

Is he just falling asleep randomly on the sofa? If its this rather than actively taking himself off for a nap then it doesn't sound like he is being deliberately rude and probably can't help it. Unless he's got some obvious unhealthy sleep habits and not getting enough sleep at night, there may be something going on medically and he should probably consider getting checked.

Is there something causing him to sleep so much?
Of it's not a medical issue, he's a wanker.

I don't think it's rude or hurtful but I would be wondering why he needs so much sleep.
