When DH is useless for much of Sunday after a night out on Saturday

So, DH went to the football yesterday, celebrating his team's winning of their leauge too - he doesn't go out as much as he used to before DD was born, and obviously wanted to celebrate. All fine.

He drank way too much, was home at 2am, not 10pm (I hadn't made him promise or anything!), tried to get up with us but had to go back to bed - I went out till noon and told him to be ready to spend the rest of the day with us.

He was, but not really, as he was so tired - he had agreed to do lunch and tea for DD (for the first time ever) and, having asked how to make stuff, forgot and did it wrong, fed DD late so she was too tired for tea and didn't eat it and rubbed it all in her eyes, didn't play with her at all, just watched TV as he was too tired to interact.

I really didn't enjoy pounding the streets of our town for two hours early on Sunday morning, just so he could sleep his hangover off. (But it was better than staying in.) And when I go out, I make sure I get home in a reasonable state so I can do my share the next day.

His nan had died the day before, and he was with his sis, who got quite drunk as she was upset, so he didn't want to leave her. But he didn't need to get that drunk himself - and when she had met up with her boyfriend, his duty of care was done.

AIBU to expect that if he goes out, then he should be able to behave responsibly enough so that I, having looked after her by myself all day Sat, might be able to have some time off on Sun?

oh and making someone make cheese sauce when they're tired and hungova is a lil bit mean. Just have something very simple all ready made in the fridge for days like this, or a jar if you use them x

Cheese sauce is really a bit horrid.

YABU - his nan just died, cut the poor guy some slack, do you have any empathy or do you just live in a little world of 'me'

Bit harsh StepSideways.

OP, really not sure now whether this is a common occurence or not. Also, from you saying that he'd agreed to make lunch and tea for the first time ever, I suspect he has not been pulling his weight for a while and this is why you're reacting so strongly about this particular weekend. Am I right?
