To have a lie in even though it’s Father’s Day?

I have a 23 month old and a 3 month old. I’m EBF so things are quite full on as my partner can’t do a whole lot overnight to help with night feeds and then I’m up with the toddler in the day.
My husband has been away with work for the past 4 days but it’s been quite a nice work event! It’s been 3 days of drinking in the sun, team building, black tie dinners, escape rooms etc to celebrate a significant anniversary for his company.
He arrived back Saturday having been away since Tuesday. I’m tired from having both children 24/7 (single parents, I applaud you) my littlest has been waking at 3 for a feed and not going back down until after 5 (but will only go down at that stage if we co sleep and feed on/off so not much rest for me!) then my toddlers been waking at 6 so sleep hasn’t been great.
It’s Father’s Day tomorrow but I think I’ve earnt a lie in TBH but not sure if I’m being unfair as technically he was away with ‘work’ and I had a lovely lie in on mothers day . . He’s quite hungover today but had 4 nights in a lovely hotel with a big bed to himself .. Interested to know your thoughts!

You’ve been doing everything for 4 days whilst he’s had uninterrupted sleep, you deserve the lie. Plus, I’m sure he wants to spend some quality time with them on Father’s Day
