To want to kill him where he sleeps

Been homeschooling our children full time since schools closed, husband has been WFH during that time, working upstairs in our bedroom while I look after children downstairs. Don’t see him much during day as he is very busy. Except I just popped into our room to our something away and there he was asleep.
AIBU to want to smother him with a pillow?

Full disclosure he does do his bit in terms of cooking and housework but I can’t even have a cup of tea without questions and requests from the children, whereas he was able to decide to have 40 winks before his next call, I feel cheated somehow!

This is funny but outrageous! Cheeky bugger. Did you slap him in the face with a wet fish or leave him to his snooze?

Oh he was not able to rest in peaceful slumber one minute longer I’m afraid, my entrance woke him up, but just to demonstrate to me how rare this occurrence is, he is now very loudly on a important call, oh please, damage is done now, I’ll be downstairs forever thinking, oh Is it nap time for him upstairs I wonder?

I was hoping for another thread about rats.

Mine does something similar - when I catch him on his phone for the millionth time when he’s supposed to be looking after DD, he starts frowning at the screen to demonstrate that he’s actually doing something VERY IMPORTANT and shouldn’t be ticked off or interrupted. He’s definitely NOT messing about with his fantasy football team, no siree, he is very busy and important.

Oh the trust has gone!

Every time it goes quiet, send the kids up to check Grin

Mine does that but with the Xbox. Makes me very stabby. Also likes to loudly announce he cannot be disturbed by me or the kids as he has an important meeting Hmm

If he denied sleeping but was simply 'resting his eyes' give him a poke in the eye from me..
Dh indignantly denies ever napping. Even when confronted with photos..
He keeps his angry face for just this situation.. Never see it at any other time.

YANBU! I want to kill him too 🤣 I have been WFH with two kids home alone since lockdown began (widowed parent). I have to work and attempt to educate kids all day every day. And cook. And clean. Praise the Lord we are in a bubble with another family now and we’re going over there for dinner tonight

My partner works upstairs in the attic room and I regularly hear his delicate snoring booming through the ceiling 😂
Luckily children are grown up, we only have the dog to look after, so I can’t really complain.

Areyouactuallyseriousrightnow · 17/06/2020 17:11

Yep, trust gone! apparently he did just close his eyes for two minutes (yes @Windyatthebeach) so he doesn’t understand why the death glare.
@tunnocksreturns2019 enjoy your dinner with another family, I’d quite like to do that myself tonight, and not bring any of mine!

Few years ago we went on hols with the 4 kids. The day we left I packed the car, cleaned around etc, DH dripped along. So we are now all set to head off and all killing each other in the car. DH went to lock up. 20 mins later no sign. After a quick hunt there he was sparked out under the duvet.

It was a very very long journey home
