Unwell child and little sleep - AIBU

DH was away for a few nights with work this week, 2.5 hours drive from home, not close enough to come home each night but not a huge drive either. I’ve had a busy week at work and been on my own with LO, doing nursery runs etc and then doing work at night when LO is asleep.

Last night, I went out for a meal with friends, was home by 10. Organised weeks ago, agreed fine by DH. DH sometimes goes to football on a Saturday but said all week he wouldn’t be going today.

Shortly after I got home last night, LO became unwell. DH and I were up til around 2am settling LO. We got some sleep but LO woke at 6.30 for the day so I took them downstairs and left DH in bed until 8.30. I was exhausted this morning so asked DH if I could go back to bed for a bit in the afternoon.

DH woke me after a short time and asked if I would get up as he now wanted to go to the football. I told him to give me 10 minutes to get myself sorted, I came downstairs and he threw a strop saying he wouldn’t make it on time now.

He’s disappeared off out in a mood. AIBU to be totally pissed off at him for waking me when I let him get some sleep earlier?

So he has a longer sleep than you then complains that you want an extra 10 minutes because he'll be too late for something he's already confirmed he won't be doing?

Total bullshit behaviour.

However, when you're tired and sleep-deprived it's not the time to be arguing about who is most tired/ who has done more. Let it pass, cool your jets and talk about it when you're both calmer and happier and maybe agree a system for when LO is unwell next time.
