He's being an arse

[Rainbowx90]

Tmi but I'm on my period. First one since April. They're notoriously awful, flooding, clots, you name it.
Turned over in bed and had to change as I was leaking.
Went to the en suite and sorted myself out but didn't flush the toilet as didn't want to wake DCs up.
DD (2) was already stirring.
She then wakes up and starts whining, shaking her babygate and shouting.
DH turns to me and says this is all my fault and that he hasn't had a wink of sleep (he stayed up late to watch the football)
I have work all day tomorrow, I'm a self employed cleaner so quite a manual job. DH works from home and he is self employed too so no set hours for him.
Normally when I'm on my period I have to take time off work because of how heavy and painful they are, I'm worried about how I'm going to get through today tbh.
Anyway he now thinks it's my job to get up with DD and take her downstairs while he gets some sleep.
I think otherwise, I'm in a fair bit of pain, bleeding heavily and have work all day. AIBU to think that he should be up with her and that it's not my fault or problem he decided to stay up most of the night watching TV.
He's in a right huff with me now.

He doesn’t sound very kind or supportive - is he usually like this?

I feel you with the period. I'm down on the sofa (well sat in the chair cos if I lay down it looks like the scene from a murder) came down at 1am as was disturbing DH

No doubt he'll complain about broken sleep (even though I can hear him snoring) but I'm the one who has to go to work and try to get through the day without freaking out the boss!

Hope you manage some rest!

You should stay off work x

I wish I could give you a hug, a painkiller or two and tell you to go get some rest... This honestly breaks my heart that all you need is a little comfort and consideration you're not asking world peace or a huge lotto win (which both would be super too!)

We individuals with uteruses put up with a lot BS and most men don't understand the pure exhaustion our periods are. My son learnt from a young teen and every single one of his girlfriends have looked at him as a saint! We need to education our sons on the pain, discomfort, exhaustion that a period is and how it can be different not only month to month but from woman to woman.

He is being very unreasonable.

He sounds horrible,

Sounds like he's a right selfish entitled cunt. Maybe have a chat when he eventually gets his selfish arse out of bed and suggest either day about or week abiut for having to get up with little one. Hopefully he steps up.
