To be annoyed at having to get up this morning

I kind of already know I ABU but I need some of you guys to snap me out of my mood! Basically I've had to get up with my 16 month old this morning (6am) usually my OH gets up with her but he was too tired this morning...
A bit of background, I wake up with her every weekday and he always does the weekend. He hasn't done the two last Sunday's because he went out last Saturday night and had a lie in on the Sunday and this Sunday he said he was too tired to get up. It's really wound me up but I know a lot of partners take it in turns on a Saturday and Sunday so I'm just being a brat really. I've got used to having a lie in until around 8 every weekend so now I'm seeing my arse. First world problems! Sat hear watching cbeebies whilst my LG is having her porridge and sulking.... want to snap out of it before my OH wakes up!

Can’t he get her to nursery some days? Then if he’s late it will be his problem and you will be long gone and at work? Seems like you are taking all the responsibility? Why is he not sharing this?

What actually happened this morning? Did DC wake up you both up and then he said to you "I'm too tired, you go". Or did she only wake you up and then you woke him and he just refused to get up?

I'm not being pedantic, just trying to figure out exactly what's happening when your DC wakes up. Is it possible for you to just ignore it and go back to sleep when it's his turn? If you ignore it will he eventually get up and deal with her or does he leave her screaming for ages?

I know some men pretend not to wake up when the DC do...

" if I relied on him to get her ready we would always be late"

Oh how convenientHmm

As a pp says, can't you just get yourself ready & off to work & leave him to it?

He wouldn't be late more than once!
