To be fed up DH acts like a saviour because he takes the kids to school?

He works but for himself. Part time. Usually evenings.

So he is here all day, as am I.

He HATES getting up in the morning.

Routine goes like this...

  1. 15am. I get up. Don't even bother asking him to.
Get kids up. Take dog out for wee. Make breakfast. Get uniforms laid out. 7.30am.Clear up breakfast Feed dog Load dishwasher Help little ones get dressed. Shout DH to get up. Make DDs lunch. Shout DH to get up. Check bags and prepare any PE kits etc Shout DH to get up. Make myself a cup of tea Shout DH to get up. Take dog out for poop Shout DH to get up (kids need to leave at 8.25) Wave older kids off.

8.05 Shout DH to get up (shout his name)

Which is responded with a very shouty and aggressive "WHAT??"
With him storming down the stairs barging passed me with "it's only fucking five past 8"

Im sick of this every morning. Then he has the audacity to say 'I get up and take them to school every morning!!'

Yeah he does. And he picks them up.

But I do EVERYTHING else

And I'm sick to fucking death of being his alarm every 10 mins (he just ignores his phone and Alexa) then getting a load of fucking grief for it.

I think I'm going to just start taking them myself.

But then I'll resent him even more for doing fuck all(apart from his part time hours) and getting to stay in bed every morning.

Urgh.

And the glass house of criticising his part time hours when you not work Yourself OP is fucking infuriating. Listen to yourself.

Mornings sound very shouty and stressful for a household where only one person works for 4 hours a day! Could you do some prep the night before, such as uniforms, PE kit etc? If your both at home can't the dishwasher wait until after the school run? Sorry OP but for a couple who sound like they have an easy life I can't really sympathise.

Is this really what you are pissed off about, OP? you seem very resentful of your DH and it doesn’t sound he could do anything right for you
