Husband not coming home until early hours

Hi everyone. I'm just wondering if I am BU here or overeacting.

So a few months ago my husband popped dates in our family calendar for nights out. There was a few (4 in December) but to be honest his line of work, the fact a lot of his friends live abroad and come home for Christmas and then his hobby I didn't mind.

Last night he went out and didn't come home until 6am. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

We have 3 children and although they're not babies they're all under 12. There was no communication from him all evening and he thinks this is fine and because we had no plans made for today there was no need to leave early. I would have expected him home around 2/3 if he'd of stayed for last orders and then trying to get a cab.

Im not cross about the time he got home at Im annoyed about the fact he thinks it's ok to come home whenever he feels like it and he knew I was home with the kids hence why he didn't feel the need to call/text to let me know.

I argued back along the lines about how I went out with my friends recently, text him mid evening to let him know how my night was and what train I was getting home and whilst I had a few glasses of wine I got up with the kids the next morning and brought them to school but apparently it's difference as I'm a woman and he'd worry about me.

He's out again next week again and next week is what he's called the big night so god knows what time he will come home at.
I know people here will mention drugs other women but I genuinely dont think it's that I think he just binges when he goes out because he doesn't drink any other time.

Am I overreacting?

No problem with staying out late, but common decency to drop OH a message if unusually late (not bullying or controlling fgs!).
