He went out with his mate for a few beers, which seemed to have turned into an all-out session. I woke when my DS did this morning, to find that I was alone in the house. DH didn't answer his mobile so I texted his mate's partner. She's got a 10 week old baby and is furious at her DP and my DH for keeping her up until 5am so she had an hour's sleep before her DD woke her up. DH was asleep on their sofa.
He's now in bed, again, at home, while DS is sleeping. For some reason, I feel like he's making me feel guilty for being annoyed at him!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Throw water over him and if he says he's tired ask him how he thinks your friend feels this morning
Cheeky beggars

It's flippin' dads refusing to accept that hey, life changes when you have kids. It's not OK to spend all weekend in bed (he was also in bed until 11am yesterday!!) when he's not seen DS all week ( out of the country on business). I stupidly assumed that if you're away from your child for a week, you'd want to see them as much as possible, but I just seem to be always taking DS out to give DH some "well earned rest". WTF???? I can't recall the last time I got a lie-in. The result being that I go to bed at 9pm each night to get some decent rest.
I'm absolutely FUMING, in case no-one had noticed!!

Go out.

Don't come back till hours after he wakes up, then stroll in with ds as if you'd been in the kitchen making a cup of tea.

If you were to take ds up to the bedroom, announce that you were going out and leave him, would dh wake up enough to look after ds?

If so, that is an option.

He is behaving like a selfish twunt and you need to put a stop to this NOW. Unfortunately, I don't have any pearls of wisdom as to how to achieve this.

cheechy feel so annoyed on your ds's behalf.
Tell him how annoyed you are he might listen.

Sounds like your DH and his mate have some growing up to do. Why don't you & his mates partner have a spa day, or a night out, or both, and see how they like it. Make sure a MIL or someone is on standby just in case they really don't cope (for the sake of your children not your men, or you won't be able to relax).

Hi Rachmumoftwo,
DH actually suggested just that on Sunday. Wants me and his mates' partner to go for a girly drink one evening soon and let them look after the kids. DH will do fine as my DS has always slept through, but his mate might struggle with his new baby! Ha ha, I say.
However, none of us has any relatives in the South West so no back-up.

Do it- have a great night out & make sure you get a lie in too. Enjoy!

Dh did this to me once not long after week had been married and didn't even tell me hi was going out. I waited about a fortnight so he wasn't expecting it and then did the same to him - had a fab meal out and came home very late. He got the point and niether of us have ever done it again.

Would wake him up, tell him ds is asleep and you're going out for a coffee or whatever you would like to do and you're not sure when you'll be back!
