DP went out last night. He said he'd be home around 11 but at r2:30 I went to bed. He strolled in around 3:30am (checked the phone and there was a missed call from his mates number at 3:20am). DD1 got up at 6:45amand find DP passed out on the sofa with the remnants of an egg and bacon sandwich on the table.

After DD2 gets up I make breakfast and leave them quietly watching cartoons whole DP sleeps while I quickly feed our rabbit. I get back and DD2 has got up on top of DP kissing himso I take her away. He starts shouting at me that a simple task is too much for me and announces that no, he wouldn't be staying home to watch the girls while I hand on my sick note to the job centre (2 buses) because he's going to sleep and proceeds to storm up to bed.

a) I think he is over reacting. I was feeding the rabbit as I always do two seconds away.
b) We planned this for today as a walking three year old and a pushchair on my own with mobility isues, public transport and the job centre is too much for me.

AIBU?

He's sulking in the garden after I confronted him and every time I go near him he tells me to leave him alone or he'll leave.

If that were me I would be saying "Bye!"

Seriously this man child needs to sort himself out!

It sounds as though you'd be a lot better off emotionally and financially without him. He is downright horrible to you and is not a good dad at all - a good dad doesn't go out on the piss and refuse to care for his children :(

How are things now, OP?

Did you get to the job centre on time? He sounds like a bit of a nightmare tbh.

He sounds awful. Not sure what else to say.

Let him leave, its his bloody fault he is feeling crap because he stayed out till the earlies drinking and socialising and now his parental duties have caught up to him.

I can't believe how many times I've read on here about parents doing this.

waste of good skin.
