OH sabotaging bedtime - I AM RAGING

DD is 2.5 and until a couple of months ago, would wake throughout the night EVERY NIGHT. Had finally started to sleep through the night and as such I am really strict on her not having a daytime nap (she dropped the nap ages ago and is fine, occasionally gets a bit whingey late afternoon but obviously not going to encourage a nap in the late afternoon as this would completely sabotage bedtime and she would be running round until literally 10pm)
Would anyone else feel absolute rage at OH for, whilst I went up to clean the bathroom and asked him to play with DD, I come back down to get some more bleach and he’s sitting watching the football with DD asleep on his chest. WHY WOULD HE DO THIS!!!!!
I am literally furious with him. He hasn’t done a bloody thing all day, I ask him to watch DD for 5mins and apparently that’s too much effort and he’d rather let her go to sleep until mummy’s back to look after her and then mummy can piss around until who knows what time tonight trying to get her to bed.
I am LIVID.
He’s done this before, and he knows it pisses me off. He also did nothing but moan about how little sleep he got while DD was still waking through the night, so he knows how important it is to ensure she’s in bed at a reasonable time etc
Am I overreacting or would anyone else be raging about this?

From your daughters point of view she’s having a wonderful bonding experience with daddy, and that’s golden

🙄 or he could have played with her or god forbid started on dinner with her ‘helping’...

Thanks for your replies!
Yeah I woke her up straight away, cue crying from DD at being woken up and then OH chastising me for waking her up as “she was tired”! (Outrageous)
Funnily enough within 2mins she had stopped crying and was running around with some puzzles so obviously wasn’t as desperately exhausted as he claimed to think.

Christ you’ve got low standards! Hmm A tired child falling asleep on the nearest warm body while he watches football isn’t a wonderful golden bonding experience!
