I've had a flare up of a medical condition that means I've had about 8 hours sleep over the last three days. Add home schooling and I'm am on my knees. "D"H said last night that he would get up this morning and set the kids up for the 8:45 register teams call and supervise their learning until lunchtime so I could rest as much as possible. He would use his flexitime and work a bit later.
After another disturbed night I woke at 8:45 he was still in bed, I jumped up and he claimed both the kids were up, he'd heard them. I went in their rooms and they were both in bed. They are 9 & 11. He kept saying I've got this, it's fine, just go back to bed. I ignored him, told the kids to throw on a jumper and get on their computers. I ended up just dealing with them as I was too angry to go back to bed. Apparently I'm the unreasonable one? I haven't spoken to him since this morning. I know the silent treatment is awful but I'm just so angry I can't trust what I might say.

What time do they go to bed? My 9 year old wakes up and gets up around 6am every morning. I never wake him up, I'm usually telling him it's 5 get back to sleep!!!
I can't imagine a 9 year old still asleep at that time!!

Sorry, what?

I’d be fuming if I was you! FFS if you say you’re going to do something, JUST DO IT!!!
I honestly wonder sometimes how some people can be so irresponsible and useless?

I think the op is getting a hard time here. I bet most 9 year olds would not get up and get ready for home learning alone whilst their father lay in bed. On a practical note op, can you go to bed for some rest once the kids have finished learning? Leave them with your dh and get space away from him? I agree with posters about getting kids to bed earlier, no screens before bed. Maybe chatting to them or reading to them. It's very hard for everyone at the moment and I would look at ways of separating 'school' and 'home' as much as possible. Give school your husbands phone number and let them contact him over any issues so he doesn't pass the buck.
