Aibu to not be sympathetic to DH hangover?

DH met up with a friend last night who was staying in our city for work for an evening. They mixed a lot of drinks, DH called me and woke me up three or four times over the course of the evening, woke me up when he got in and also woke the kids up so there was lots of bed swapping and a generally bad nights sleep.

He woke up with a terrible hangover this morning, left me to get the kids and myself ready for work and school and nursery, I dropped them off. He took half a day off as was feeling so bad.

I've cooked tea, showered the kids, and I'm doing bed time.

It's fair to leave the kitchen and table and pets to Dh, isn't it? I've still got a lot of work to do myself this evening (teacher)

DH thinks I'm being v v v unreasonable as he hardly ever goes out and gets hungover. I think I am not being unreasonable, he did it to himself and I've still got lots I need to do tonight.

I mean, it’s not a regular occurrence so I wouldn’t be mean about it, but if you’ve got stuff to do, crack on.

I’m a wuss with a hangover so I’ll dole out sympathy in the expectation of the same in return.

If it’s a one off then I would help out. If I went out with friends and had a few too many I would appreciate my husband being a little extra caring and pulling a little extra weight the next day, so I would do the same in return. For me a marriage isn’t only based on what you “have” to do, but as a partner I want to go the extra mile for people I love, for no other reason than I love them.
