to be pissed off with DP?

I wrote a post last night (in chat) about my DD (23mnths) being unwell after being in hospital Thurs-Sat with respiratory probs relating to viral infection. She seemed better mon/tues so I decided to go back to work today. Yesterday she got worse in terms of snotty nose, pale and clingy. Put her to bed early then was a bit worried about her so brought her into our bed. DP was on a boozy work related thing (not social, suppliers from his work put on a day out then meal and drinks).

The wee one hardly slept with her not feeling well so I hardly slept (say 2hrs for me approx) and I had to get up at 5am and leave at 6am, I still saw 4am. DP still wasn't in at 1am. He knew she was a bit more poorly yest and that I was back to work and I'd be leaving at 6.

I text him to see where he was (1am) and he said in our local nightclub Hmm He's 40 ffs. Then he was slagging it saying he couldn't believe he was there blah blah blah so I replied with a rude text saying that I didn't realise he was being held there against his free will and it's alright for him going out and getting hammered while I was still up with our DD and would be up for work in less than four hours to which he replied he was on his way home. He did come home shortly after and DD was shouting daddy when he came in. We never got up and he slept on the couch. I eventually feel asleep at about 4 after that.

I never went to work as I was exhausted and I was not happy leaving DP in charge when he'd still be drunk when I left at 6am.

He got up off the couch and went to bed this morning when we got up so it came to half 10 and I went in and told him I wanted to sleep for a bit as had been up all night to which he replied he's tired too! If I hadn't taken yet another day off he would have had to have been up with DD and done everything himself!

I'm pissed off. He thinks its because he's had a night out which is very rare (maybe 2-3 times per year!) but it's because of how late he stays out when we've got our DD to look after the next day.

AIBU??

Yanbu! Your partner needs to grow up! Going out and leaving you to look after the little one when you have work the day after is selfish!

Normally I'd see his point about not going out often, but with all that's going on, he shouldn't have stayed out and got drunk that night. Bad timing and irresponsible. Yanbu.
I'd be fuming if he was "too tired" to get up.
