DH and his ‘Day Off’

My DH works hard, 5am starts, 6 days a week. This has been tiring him out recently. He is not on a contact and can be fired without notice at any point. It’s stressful not having any security.
He decided to take today as annual leave to do his hobby with a friend away from our home. The friend flaked and DH is pissed.
We have two very young children. DH decided he isn’t helping today at all as it’s his ‘day off’. He wouldn’t help this morning with breakfast & dressing and has spent the day in the kitchen on his hobby. He is also in college tonight for this hobby so I’ll be doing bedtime alone.

AIBU to think I’m married to a selfish prick? I don’t get any days off in life. How can he be in the same house and not help?

Does it have to be either or? Can you not do both? Obviously you'll not be made of money but if you can do both I think ypu should. Given his attitude/past actions I wouldn't presume he'll watch the kuds whilst you use the spa - infact i wouldn't be surprised if he decides he deserves a break and you're left holding the baby again. And it still doesn't change the dynamics at home that he has time for hobbies and college and you don't.
