Am I in the right to be annoyed or do I need to chill out?

It's about dps sleep. He constantly sleeps throughout the day. Not a light nap, but big full on snoring sleeping, have to shake him to wake up. A few things that come to mind:

He lost his keys, so took mine and I said I'll ring the bell to get in.. At 10pm me and the 3dc were outside ringing knocking banging, shouting for 20 minutes. The only reason I got in, was because my neighbour came home from work. I then had to bang our flat door down until he woke up because he had fell asleep on the floor.

He offered to do a night feed with dc2 when she was a baby. I slept on the sofa, ear plugs (to drown out sound of radiator) and door shut. I woke to hear DC2 screaming, legs all stuck out the bars of cot, really distressed. Him- sleeping.

I went out for 45 minutes- came home, DC3 screaming in his cot, DC1 & 2 doing experiments.. Him- sleeping. (dc1 is very sensible so that wasn't an issue but it's annoying.'

Now I do all the night feeds, I survive on about 4/5 hours of broken sleep for the last 2 years. I do everything. I'm sitting here annoyed because DC2 has woken and he has gone in there in her bed to force her back to sleep... Guess what- she is playing in the room and he is fucking sleeping.

Now I must add, I have suffered from insomnia for about 8 years, it's a lot better but maybe I'm jealous of the fact he sleeps so easily? He says I am. And says I'm bring unreasonable for getting annoyed with all this sleeping.

Also to add- things like last night he was SO tired, dropping asleep, so I say 'don't you wanna go up and sleep?' he says he'd rather sleep on the sofa because DC3 wakes him (even though I get him a million times a night whilst he is just snoring) I say ok ok . So he stays up till god knows playing x box/ watching match of the day. Kids all with me in the bed from 630am. So I feel I should be the one fucking sleeping!!

So sorry for the long post, but of I am being unreasonable, I will accept it!

sweet I was just about to suggest whether he smokes weed!

Ask not suggest Blush

Mama, I say this as a chronic weed smoker that has recently quit. Firstly, it doesn't take 20 minutes to smoke a fag, and secondly, it would explain the tiredness and staying up half the night playing xbox!
