Expected some help from DH

I have a job interview tomorrow morning, before lunchtime. Its an internal one but in the office. Monday is my usual.working day in anyway so I nor ally get the kids up and take to breakfast club before going into the office. Co.mute is about 45 in good traffic and am normally at my desk for 0830. Interview isn't long after and there are some reports I need to do first thing etc

Dh normally starts work for 7am which is why I generally do all school runs. Tomorrow he is working nights as something has come up so doesn't start work until around 8pm although will be trying to sleep during the day.

I asked him the other day if he would do drop off for me on monday so I could get in early, do my reports and get prepared for the interview etc he said he would think about it.

Today he mentioned he will probably go to the gym late morning then try and sleep etc so i'll do pick up (again standard for a monday as the kids go after school club) so I asked if he could take them in

He practically laughed at me and said why would he. He doesn't want to give up his lay in and i'm up and out anyway (missing the point about wanting to be up and out early)

For reference he is encouraging me to go for this job as its potentially more money and an additional day WFH (I do 3 days in the office at the moment, new role is 1-2 in which would help with childcare etc)

It's fine and I will manage etc, will probably get up early and do the reports but I just thought he may help a bit more

Thank you for the replies, refreshing to kmow I wasn't expecting too much as I was beginning to think I was

Unfortunately this isn't the only argument we have had about work this week and his inability to help when I ask. Which is not very often

Help? Help with what? Things he should be doing for himself, like house work and parenting?

If he isnt helping you, he is actively hurting you. Is he worth keeping around?

Were you? Were you really?

If you were honestly thinking your job interview should be lower prioritised than his lie in, he’s done a real number on you already.
