To be woken up to clean?

I bring you this post after getting woken up at 1:15 am to go and clean up the dogs sick!

My OH is up, awake sitting in the living room, having a beer and watching TV. Just half an hour ago he comes upstairs and wakes me up to tell me the dog has been sick on the living room floor, it stinks and there is no way he will clean it up.

I gets out of bed, goes down, cleans up the sick. I don't speak, as the dogs already too excited to see me, I'm not impressed with getting woken up and I haven't got the energy for a conversation.

OH then proceeds to say 'I don't know how you can clean that up' I grunt something about having no choice, he then complains that there's no need for me to be an a*se about it. (I will note there wasn't much sick, the dog wasn't feeling ill in anyway and didn't need my attention.)

AIBU to feel it's rude to wake someone up just because you don't want to clean it up yourself? I don't enjoy cleaning it up any more than he would. He also knows I've not been well and really in need of some rest.

Now here I am unable to sleep cause I'm too annoyed. He Never hesitates to wake me up over absolutely anything. He however, goes in a bad mood if he gets woken up when having a nap in the middle of the day on the sofa and one of the children make a noise! Angry

That's very inconsiderate of him OP. I hope you feel better soon.

This fucker's sitting up watching television and drinking at that time of night and wakes you up to clean up the dog's vomit? Then complains because you're not happy about him doing that?

Does he bring anything worthwhile to your life?

I would get rid of the dog

He has abdicated all responsibility for it to you and was happy to leave you to do something he wouldn't

Secondly, I would seriously consider separation/divorce

This selfish arse just woke you up in the middle of the night to do something

WTAF????

Start preparing to leave

Out of order. If there was lots of sick and he'd already attempted to clean it and failed and woke you to help him, I'd understand. But this is lazy. No way I'd have done it.

I would spitefully enjoy ruining every one of his naps I could.

Why are you tbh married to him?

What a lazy, entitled, controlling pig.

Is there anything positive about living with this man child? Any good reasons not to kick him out?
