AIBU to have said no?

Ex was suppose to have the kids yesterday til Monday, but he texted Saturday morning saying his friend had been in a accident and he needed to go to the hospital to see him. So he said he’d pick the kids up today, I texted him in the morning today saying I hope he can come pick them up at 12, otherwise there’s no point. 12.30 I call him, he says he just woke up, he needs to clean the house as it’s ‘disgusting’, then shower get dressed, and have a coffee (which means lunch at the local coffee shop) from the experience I know by the time he’s done all that, he won’t be here until 4-5pm. So I just told him he can have them next weekend as he won’t be able to pick them up today. He lost it, and apparently I’m a disgusting bitch who’s got ‘power’ over him, he hates me, and it ‘depresses ‘ him that he has kids with me.

How can a house be so disgusting when there’s been no kids in there all weekend. Girlfriend has a DD who’s been at her grandparents house all weekend, so no kids in the house. I asked him if he’s alone, he said no. So I’m imagining they’re both just woke up, and lying in bed at 12. What annoys him is his sense of entitlement, just expects to just come in when he wants. What he should have done is got up, dressed and picked the kids up. Not go for a coffee. AIBU??
