To be a bit grumpy in the morning when i've been up half the night with DS?

I was up from 1.30 until around 4am last night with DS2 (v restless, slight temperature, nothing serious, but just wouldn't settle), but still had to get up for work, get other DS ready for tennis day. Consequently I was a bit grumpy, told DS I'd been up half the night, he said nothing.
A few minutes later, when I was giving DS his breakfast (DS was obviously also quite grumpy at lack of sleep), DH came downstairs, took one look at my grumpy, unsmiling face and just said 'oh dear'. Not 'oh dear' as in, 'oh dear, your poor thing, let me take over and give you a hug, you must be knackered', but 'oh dear' as in 'oh dear, look at the state of you, you miserable cow'.
And that's it
AIBU to expect a little of the former?

YANBU. His turn to get up with the kids next time.

No, YANBU. I have trained DD to know that getting mummy out of bed in the night means she's tired and grumpy in the morning. DH, on the other hand, seems to survive quite happily on much less sleep (not that this meant he was at all helpful on newborn night duty). He has however come to accept things for what they are and at least keep his mouth shut!

Definitely his turn, next time!
