Aibu to just walk out the house

[Nosleeptheo]

So not for good but 20 mins.

Currently sat in my ds 2 (2 years old) room who is refusing to go to sleep (I have tried all methods) ds 1 (6 years old) has been stomping around and shouting me ( he was given 20 mins to read a book in bed).

It's been a shit month if not months. Dp broke his wrist (had to have surgery and still in a half cast due to swelling) ds 2 got ill with an ear infection, then we found out he's allergic to his antibiotics, then ds1 got ill with a chest infection all this while I have also been working ft and trying to do everything.

I'm at my wits end and crying in my sons room, iv just shouted at him because he's screaming at me and won't go to sleep.

Would I be unreasonable once he's asleep to put the lead on the dog and go out for 20 mins and leave my phone ATM and not tell anyone. Dp is at home and there is a speak sat downstairs so he's heard all of this.

Completely expecting to be told I am but it's how I'm feeling right now.

I think a walk is a great way to decompress- I would however tell dp!

A walk is a great idea, it may help you clear your head. Perhaps a good idea to let your partner know though. Sending you love xx

Are you being unreasonable to take the dog for a 20 minute walk once the kids are asleep?

This is the most ridiculous AIBU I've ever read. Why would this be unreasonable?

Is the dog agoraphobic?

A walk sounds like a great idea. Is your dp helping you with bedtime?

Absolutely fine to go for a walk but why wouldn’t you tell DP?

And why is he sat downstairs? Surely he can at least see to the six year old whilst you manage with the toddler?

This.

Can you explain what you think might be unreasonable?

Why are you still there? 6 year old should be fine in a room by himself and your partner can deal with the two year old. Just grab the dog and tell him you are going out and to sort out his kids, FFS.

Dp is at home and there is a speak sat downstairs so he's heard all of this. and why hasn't he done anything about it?

Did your DP lose the use of his legs and his voice when they put the cast on? If not then he can tell your ds to get to bed while you go out with the dog. My DP has just had a cast removed, he managed to make cups of tea for me.
Don't be a martyr, you are no good to anyone if you make yourself ill.
Hand a book to DP and go out now. He can read to the kids.

Dog has been out on her walks already twice today only taking her because I live in the middle of no where with no lighting. The aibu was just going out for a walk. Thank you to the others who have told me that I'm not. Just told dp I'm going out with the dog and leaving my phone at home and I will be back in about 20 mins and handed him the speaker. Lit at my whits end and I know it's not the kids fault they are just being kids and it's just everything all at once which has got to me. Also knowing ds 2 is back to only nursery a few days a week and I have a full hectic work week is stressing me out because he just wants me all the time

Tell your partner you are going and enjoy your walk.

Enjoy your walk OP. You sound like you need the headspace- i would take your phone but put on silent incase you need it, especially being in the middle of nowhere.

It sounds like it would be really good for you, you have to tell DP though so he knows he's going to have to be responsible for the DC

Good point.
