Husband coming home drunk on Mother's Day

Ok. It's 3am on Mother's Day and my husband has just been throwing up all over the bathroom after being at the pub. We have an 11 month old DD so I was hoping for a lie in tomorrow and certainly not to be woken up at 3am. Also the locks have changed so we have an hour less sleep any way. I also have a 3 hour train journey tomorrow as I'm going to see my mum and give DH space to study (he's in final year of degree).

Am I right to be soooo pissed off? I just can't stop thinking how selfish he's been.

Maybe you can leave the baby with him so you can have some one on one time with your mum. That will be fun with a hangover. I doubt he will be doing much study anyway.

Personally I don't give a toss about Mother's Day but that's just me.

Was he out for a special reason - birthday celebration for someone etc?

Yes, he's a knob to come home so pissed he needs to throw up no matter what day it is tomorrow. Does he get this drunk often?

Fortunately you're going to your mum's so won't have to hang around feeling angry while he nurses a hangover!

What's he studying?

My dh got in an hour ago and now I can't sleep so will be knackered when dd up at 7. He hardly goes out tho and isn't pissed so I plan to take my time back in the afternoon.

So he's been up since 8 playing with DD and changing her nappy. He copes so well with hangovers!

I think I was just pissed off because I really wanted a good nights sleep as I've got to travel today. I was also projecting my thought processes on to him - I would have made sure I'd taken it easy if I knew it was a special day for him the next day.

He goes out about once a month and usually comes home about an hour after I go to bed and wakes me up talking bollocks and telling me about his night. I don't usually mind as I normally wouldn't have stuff to do the next day or at least not sitting on a train for 3 hours with a restless baby.

Smokinmirrors - he's studying for a BEng

I would have felt the same tbh. Glad he's done the right thing and got up with dd.
