to be quite annoyed with dh today.

First things first dh is usually very helpful and supportive around the home, especially since me returning to work in September after 11 years of being at home raising our four children.
But today he has really annoyed me.
I had a minor op yesterday to remove an abscessed tooth under a general anaesthetic as I have a very bad phobia of the dentist.
I was told I would need an adult to be present with me for 24 hours after the g.a (came around at 3pm). Informed dh of this as soon as I knew and asked him to take the day off work. Fine he says.
Then he books friends to come over last night -I told him that's fine but I won't be around as will most likely be in bed. So he cancels and rearranges for tonite (with me so far).
So we have four children and the place is a tip and we have guests coming around tonite- I am feeling very tired this morning. Dh told me he was going to a meeting and that he would be giving someone a virtual flying lesson when he comes back- took the kids to school at 8am and returns to the house at 12.
Then he turns on the computer and goes on flight sim for 2hours.
Not offering to get me lunch or even a cup of tea. Not noticing that despite being shattered I have cleaned the lounge, kitchen and hallway.
So I don't see him all afternoon and when he does finish and comes up to see me he says the following;
" You won't appreciate how tiring it is giving someone a flying lesson online!"
Not half as bloomin tiring as cleaning ul the house for the guests that he has invited whilst still under the effects of a g.a- I can tell u. I told him so much.
His reply was that he would have found time to do it. I don't. How as he had 10 minutes to spare before going to collect the children. Will have to go out again to take one to a party-then again to collect one from after school club and then again to collect party child. He knew all this before hand and would do this anyway as I don't drive.
Friends are coming around at 8 and they are the type that will stay for hours and I am still feeling quite tired.
Am I being really ungrateful or has he made some daft choices?

(Sorry about any typos as on my phone)

I guess if he saw you up and around then he thought you were ok. I know when i have had a ga I have been fine the next day. I think if you are sick you need to stay in bed then you are sending out the message that you need to be looked after or at the very least are not in a position to help out with chores. If you are up and about cleaning and feeling resentful about it then it doesnt really serve anyone well. Go to bed and let him sort out what needs to be sorted out.

Maybe, princess, yours was more of a sedation than a full GA - just saying so because I had sedation when I had a colonoscopy and I felt fine within a few hours, although wasn't allowed to drive for the rest of the day. I remember absolutely nothing about the procedure and felt absolutely nothing as well - but it was definitely only a sedation rather than a full GA.
