AIBU is my husband mean?

Just wanting honest opinions on this. My husband went away with work for a couple of days so I had our 2 and 3 year old daughters by myself which is fine, it went okay. I worked at the beginning of the week and stayed late to catch up, and on the whole I do a lot of the childcare. So this evening I had booked a show and I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks, it was a live stream of a live theatre show if that makes sense, so all at home but has the same start and finish time, no rewinding! I don’t really have time for hobbies at the moment and rarely do anything for myself. Despite my husband having the afternoon to himself as I was out with the kids at a birthday party, he effed up bedtime so much I had to come and help him (both kids screaming). I then missed my show. When I got upset my husband text me “sometimes you don’t get to watch what you want”, and when I said angrily “maybe don’t go away overnight so much” he replied “if you stop getting takeaways and cinnamon buns for breakfast I wouldn’t have to work so much”. Almost personal and trying to shame me. I’m starting to get a bit of a sinking feeling that my husband is actually not all that nice to me. He’s not always this grumpy, but it made me realise he doesn’t get the mother’s load and never will. Thanks all x

Thank you to everyone who replied (well, almost everyone 😅) we did manage to sort it, he eventually apologised for being a twat. I agree I need to just leave him to it and get out the house. Let’s hope it’s a corner turned. By the way whoever commented about me “stuffing my face with crap” and made out I’m a lazy SAHM, I suspect you either 1. Don’t have kids 2. Have loads of money or 3. Are a man. I also have a job FYI so pay my own way so if I want a bun I’m getting a bun alright! Okay thanks lovely ladies byeee xx

enjoy your buns and whatever else you like whenever you like 😊
you do alot of hard work as a mother you deserve it all
ignore him whenever he talks like this again.
