My husband and I work full time. After work yesterday DH said he feels ill so am I OK to put the girls to bed as he is going straight to sleep (they go to sleep at 7 and the children are 3 and 4 but still difficult to put to bed).
I said that's fine, so bathed them and lay with them until they fell asleep. He didn't fall asleep straight away but went to bed at around 9.
Thus morning I woke at 5.30 with the children while he had a lie in until 8 (when I woke him up).
We then went outside all together for an hour to get fresh air.
Came back and he slept 12-3pm. I am SO tired so I said can I have a nap for an hour due to early wake up.
When he woke up he said he might go to his friends house if he feels better after a shower.
In the shower he was singing and seemed absolutely fine, so said he is going to go to his friends house at 5.30pm. I said that's fine but thought it was strange as he suddenly felt so much better, enough to sing in the shower and listen to music.
It then turned into a big argument how I am being manipulative and I don't want him to socialise.
I actually do, but just feel he can't have felt that ill to all day for me to be looking after the children alone.
AIBU? Or do you think it is justified for me to be annoyed and he was being ill as an excuse to not parent today.
