So I work very part time self employed. I tend to work weekends and evening away from home. Dh has dc. Occly I do events with toddler in toe but this is trickier. Prep work is done around caring for 3dc including a clingy toddler.
So last night I did my prep work and loading stock around caring for dc, doing bedtime etc. Dh popped a pizza in the oven to help but that was all.
Dd didn't settle till after 10pm so I was still up at 11.30pm.
In the morning I got up early to have a shower before dd woke than took her downstairs and got breakfast etc. Dh came down at 8.30. Sat playing on tablet whilst I tried to load stands into car. Dd was screaming for me so it was hard.
He than had the cheek to ask me if I had got car seat out of car. At this stage I actually had dd in the car with me.
So I got stoppy and told him to get off his arse and get it.
Feels so unfair. During the week he is able to get up for work unhindered by dc as I am caring forthem.

YANBU. Discuss it and tell him you need the same support that you give him!

YANBU - your work and his work should have equal merit in terms of spousal support. If he isn't prepared to watch his own children so his wife can get ready for work then he needs a stern talking to.

Tbh he does get up earlier than me and dc during the week. But he can get up without worrying about dc as if they are up early or wake at night which youngest still does I always deal with it.Also yet again I am downstairs with dc getting breakfast and loading dishwasher etc and he is still upstairs sleeping or at least relaxing.
Since birth of last child he seems to have got lazier. He used to get up with older two on a Saturday to take them to swimming lessons but as these have stopped he seems to think he is entitled to a lie in both days because he is up before me during the week.
