To say no to DP going out?

Not sure if I'm just tired and hormonal or genuinely being reasonable.

DP works away all week and comes home on weekends. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and a SAHM to our 4 year old. We don't have lots of support from family so I'm left alone with DS all week, the only break being the 3 hours he is at nursery. I'm starting to get really tired now and am finding it hard to cope with DS and his energy.

It's his 4th birthday next weekend, we're having a party for him at soft play in the morning and now I've found out that DP plans to spend the rest of the afternoon out with friends as there's an England game on. To be honest I'm not feeling happy about it and don't want him to go. I know he needs downtime after working all week but I also need a break from DS, or at least an extra hand looking after him.

He went out last weekend late afternoon and was hungover and tired all day the next day, that was fine and I could put up with that. The weekend after the party he is going to his cousins wedding which again will take up most of the weekend.

AIBU to tell him not to go out after DSs party? I feel like I'm being controlling but I'm so tired on my own now.

If the next day is a write off because he's 'tired' from the football, when do you get a rest?

Tell him that YOU have decided to have Saturday afternoon off for yourself, as it's about time you had a break. He can spend some time with DS and still make the football later.

Yanbu at all and why are most people ignoring the fact that you're massively pregnant? Dh wasn't allowed drnk once I was 7 months. Us he supposed to drive you to hospital and be responsible for ds while slightly tipsy? No No And no feckin way! Yanbu and I'm sorry he's being a shit! Sad
