to expect DH to give me a little bit of time to get myself ready for a long awaited night out?

So with COVID and a house move and 2 young children, I very rarely get a night out with friends these days and my mental health is definitely suffering for it. I am very much looking forward to a night out tomorrow night but I just feel exhausted thinking about it. I'll be up after 6am, getting the kids organised and packed lunches made, transporting them to breakfast club, then a busy day in work, then home in rush hour traffic to get changed and try to look presentable before heading out to meet everyone.

AIBU to think DH could for once just say he'll make the packed lunches or take kids to breakfast club to give me some time to get my hair washed or something in the morning? Of course if I ask him he'd say yes, but I would just like someone to think of me for a change and offer to do something for me without having to be asked? Am I asking too much??

YANBU. But I know this one, and it happens in my house too where it makes no bloody difference whether I'm going out or not, I have to sort DD out.
But best to ask your DH, he might be reasonable about it.

To make life easier, is there any option to do your make-up at work before you leave?
Have going out clothes/bag ready at home etc.
