To be in a hotel

Ill try to keep it as short as possible... We have a 2 yr old dc. Hes lovely but im sooooo tired. We all have to get up at 7 for work etc but he wakes before then most days (sometimes 6/6.30) if im lucky sometimes earlier. I am always the one to get up with him, oh either stays in bed or (more annoyingly somehow) if its the weekend will come downstairs 15 minutes or so after ive gone downstairs with dc and deposit himself on the sofa. I was really ill last weekend and it was still me getting up at 5.30 to sort dc out. (I normally try bringing him into our bed but that never really results in more sleep). So i asked oh to please let me have a lie in this saturday and he promised he would, only to stay out drinking last night and refuse to get up this morning. I ended up going to see dc when he woke at 5 this morning :( His nappy needed changing which oh did do but he then got back into bed and refused to move. So i ended up lying in bed for 2 hours with a hyper toddler bouncing up and down on my head until i gave up and we went downstairs. Oh claimed that i "had had a lie in till 7.30". No i hadnt. I was trying to ignore the small child climbing on me for 2 hours in the hope he would go to sleep again. So I asked dp if he would mind staying in for tonight so i could book a hotel. He agreed no problem but as I was booking it started frowning and saying actions have consequences and then sulked for the rest of the day. I think he hoped i would change my mind but i haven't, im here with a cold glass of wine and a bath running. I don't think dp can seriously think im up to anything dodgy ( im not) I explained that I just want one lie in and he knows exactly where I am. I'm juts wondering what the "consequences" are going to be and whether hes justified in being so mardy...

What do you think he meant by "actions have consequences"? Was he talking about for you, for him, past, future..?

Bearbehind, yes there is more too it than that, basically the stuff that gets discussed here all the time - unequal distribution of housework, it being assumed that i am the one responsible for childcare unless otherwise stated etc. claarp may also have a point. The thingis normally I dont mind o much - but od been looking forward to having a lie in so much, plus I (somewhat foolishly) stayed up later last night (dicking about on mumsnet) because i expected to be able to lie in the next day. So this morning was worse than it normally is
And in theory he would let me have a nap in the day - but the toddler would be sent up to see me so i wouldnthave been able to actually nap

Hope you have a good sleep, I wish I had done the same!

you are SO N B U.

DH and I both did this (on different nights) back in feb when life was getting hard with the Toddler and we both needed a night of uninterrupted blissful sleep.

It was amazing.

Sounds like he is usually a dick. Do you know why he thinks you are the default adult?
