DH has not done any food prep for Christmas today

Just came home from work, walking all day through the gale winds. DH all day home with DC. Initially I was delighted as he tidied up and cleaned the bath room. I looked into the fridge and fuck all prep for dinner tomorrow was done.
Yesterday we discussed that I'll go and get last minute bits and bobs from the shops and he stays home with DC and starts Christmas prep. He did volunteer to do the bathroom but really it was his fucking turn.
I've not slept as DC is sleeping in our bed and has been twitching all night so my nerves are blank I know that and frankly I do think I'm slightly unreasonable and unfair but why the hell is it so difficult to go clean a bath AND get food prepped?? DC is toddler age so I get it's challenging. I'm just pissed off
I snapped at him yesterday too while wrapping presents. I asked him whats his plan for tomorrow (today) and he jokingly said "survive" and I blew the lid and told him I don't find it funny anymore (he says that joke a lot) and should start acting like an adult and that he did not contribute a thing to decorating, planning, gift organising....but most of his lazy attitude is making my anxiety worse as I can't trust he goes and just does the things that need done without me spelling it out for him.
I'm pissed off because all communication has broken down towards Christmas and I shout and he shuts down and that makes me even more angry because I find that cowardly behaviour.

Yes I am overtired, stressed, angry, overwhelmed, overstimulated and sad.

I just don't trust he got my back at all and he might also be struggling. Honestly I just want to cancel all plans for tomorrow with his family as it seems I'm the only actually giving a shit.

Sorry for rant.

An hour to chop 2 onions???

How do you get anything done, even in regular times?

They must be a work of art, how could anyone face eating such exquisite onions.

They were fucking fabulous, so neat and teeny tiny! I was very proud of them!

I'm not as fussy about anything else but the onions must be invisible....

Five of you and you need 3 loaves to make the stuffing? Really? An hour to chop 2 onions - how big are the onions.

It sounds a bit joyless, mine didn't have finely chopped onions but no one called them fuckers and we all look forward to Christmas.

That's the way I roll luv. I didn't measure the onions.

No. Quoted the exact person I intended. Just because you don’t want to make the time or find it stressful to do those things (I envy that you must have a really nice life if wrapping sausages in bacon is your source of stress) and prefer ultra processed shop bought on Xmas day… don’t judge others who chose to spend their time doing it differently, and make out they have some sort of misplaced sense of priorities. Merry Christmas.

I'm afraid that you did tag the wrong person!
