So I guess I'm just looking for a rant really and want to know if I am actually over sensitive or is my boyfriend a tool sometimes.. so this morning he randomly picked on me over the Christmas tree. (He's off work for three days) I am working from home so was sitting at the table working and he was giving our LO breakfast when he brushed past the tree and said 'this Christmas tree is pissing me off, good job mummy's putting it away this weekend' and I said 'yes I do plan on putting it away this weekend' he then proceeded to go on about how it's a good idea he kept the box for the tree because I was going to throw it out and I'd have no where to put the tree.. and carried on picking at me about it to the point I just said 'you are just looking for something to pick at' so then he does go out and get me breakfast at 10:45 because I'm feeling unwell (he first suggested I order on Deliveroo but I mentioned how much extra it would cost for what I wanted) and he came back with breakfast around 11:15. He decided to take our LO upstairs for a nap (in our bedroom) two hours after she woke up so she really didn't need one and I walked into the bedroom once and it got her excited so he moaned I wound her up. She falls asleep after 30 mins or so but wakes when he tries to put her in her own bed so he brings her downstairs and goes upstairs to take a long poo (sorry) whilst I am trying to work, look after our LO and I also throw up in the kitchen sink.. he comes down and then says he's going to take our LO to a party and I tell him to give her lunch before she goes as she might not eat the food they have (I made her a quick lunch whilst he got her dressed) He moans that he's going to be late as it starts at 1pm and is 12:32 and there's no point in him going because it's a 45 minute drive, I need my car back at 4pm and apparently I'm awkward because I won't take his car but it's my car and I'm not comfortable in his car. He has a go at me because he tried to get our LO to nap and he was adamant I walked in and disturbed her twice (I really did only walk in once) and just found any way possible to blame me for being late to this party?!

It sounds like you're just picking at eachother. There might be deeper problems that I've not picked up on but maybe the tree thing just annoyed him in that moment. Similarly if she's going to a party at 1pm, isn't it likely they'll feed her there so I don't think you needed to insist she has lunch before she goes. And if you don't think his car is the safest then he should have taken it with the child. It sounds like you were both irritable but you did seem to pick at everything he was doing.
