Waking up DH by poorly children

Hi
I have never posted before but I’m sat here feeling quite upset and wanted to know your thoughts!
So my DH gets up mom-Friday at 4.30 ish he is a delivery driver he is usually back around anytime around 1/2/3 in the afternoon probably drives 150 miles a day so I know he needs his sleep! And I deal with the children at night So he sleeps in a different bed and I have our 5 month old dd with me! I do everything but I’m happy with that I’m on maternity leave at the moment I also have a dd who is 5 and has been up most the night with a bad cold so pretty much Iv had zero sleep for the week! As been also dealing with 5 month old who is up a lot too! This morning dd was crying she’s in pain with her ear and coughing bless her plus dealing with 5 month old not well too I don’t mind but trying my best to help them and all I hear upstairs from my DH is that we are all selfish and moaning we have woken him up oh he has today off and the weekend! But actually he has gone back to sleep!! I feel upset that he could shout like this to my dd who isn’t well?
What do guys think? How else could I have sorted this! We live in a small house so no where else I could of gone!
Thanks

What you've said about his working hours- he can jump into bed after work for an hour if needs be but it's zero excuse to be taking so little interest. If him being horrible is isolated, maybe he was genuinely grumpy from lack of sleep but if that's a recurring theme I'd put my foot down and be having a serious chat.
