Am I (taking kids to school/nursery)

So due to my DH's job and early starts I naturally take the kids and most evenings unless I am late with work (very rare) I collect. DH sometimes cannot work if extreme weather (like today).
We have argued this evening as I never have any help in the morning as he starts early (I understand that). What upsets me is when he has a day off he thinks he should get a lie in and never offers to get up and take the kids. He also does not offer to collect them. His argument is well I'm already having to go out so why should he

If you're going out anyway I'd do drop off. I'd suggest he collected though if it made the afternoon easier

It can be pretty relentless always doing the drop offs and pick ups. I work 3 days a week and dh works full time+ , so I always do them, but if he’s not working I often ask him to do it because I get fed up always doing it. And he’s happy to.
I can see why you’d be annoyed at him - but at the same time maybe he really needs the lie-ins? He could still collect them then, couldn’t he. If you’re doing a lot of the parenting it’s nice for him to step in when he can and get the chance to spend time with the children too
