Would this annoy you?

DS(2) has been poorly for a couple of nights. He's waking constantly as uncomfortable so I've set up camp in his room so I can easily give water/calpol and resettle (by holding hands) when he wakes. Then usually once better it takes him a couple of nights to get back to being able to resettle himself (without holding hands) and sleep through.

Tonight he's woken twice already so the second time I asked DH to go to him while I got myself ready for bed and I'd then take over for the night.

When I got to the room he had DS out of his bed and was chatting/laughing with him with the light on.

This has really annoyed me! He doesn't see anything wrong with it as "DS asked to come out to have a cuddle" so he took him out. I'm now left with a child that's taking ages to resettle as wide awake, lying in an awkward position so I can hold hands through the cot bars...

Who's in the wrong? I'm guessing I'm unreasonable as it's just a cuddle and it's cute but routine means a lot to me!

Sorry, but you’ve got a sick baby who can’t sleep and asked his daddy for a cuddle? And you walked in on them cuddling and his daddy making him laugh and making him feel better? Yabvvvu. Get him out of his cot and comfort him!! Of all the things to get upset about! Please put this down to tiredness op. Accept his routine is going to be shot for now and prioritise your unwell child’s comfort than your own convenience

You are in the wrong, he wanted a cuddle with his dad when unwell, that's more important than you liking routine.

You're not wrong. It's probably inexperience though. Even when my kids are sick I don't put the light on and entertain them. Cuddle absolutely but at 11pm the goal is sleep. I'd say DH doesn't have enough experience putting kids back to sleep.
