AIBU to be absolutely fuming (lighthearted) at DH for coming home from work today then taking a 3 hour (so far) nap. 4 DC under 5 wondering when he's joining us for Christmas. Just me then!

Get him up now. This is unacceptable. The kids want him. That should mean he gets up immediately.

I would have got him up after an hour, although I would have asked him not to have a nap in the first place, where is your nap in looking after 4 excited kids 7 under 5

Nope. Normal office job. Half day today for Christmas

If he works nights, fine.

Otherwise, WTAF?

I'm not sure. It depends how long he has been working. If he's come off a 12 hour night shift, that's very different to a couple of extra hours work on Christmas Eve.

I’m all for naps in life, but not when you have small children on Christmas Eve.

How long was he at work, and what does he do for work? If he's just done 8 odd hours of manual labour after a stupidly early start i wouldn't begrudge a nap, but even so, 3 hours is pushing it. Can you send the dc in to rouse him?

An hour would be fine.

i have two small children and am pregnant and i would be bloody fuming

Undisclosedlocation · 24/12/2024 16:27

Bloody hell! Unless he is ill, I don’t understand how your rage is lighthearted

Woke him after an hour, he said he would be down in a minute....

Has he been drinking?

Why haven't you woken him?
