Hungover husband

I'm posting to have a rant.

Does anyone else hate their DH when he's hungover?
My DH has a night out about once a month and is always in a pathetic state the next morning, no actually day!
He obviously can not handle his drink as it's usually a standard night out (not talking stag doo scale) of about 4 hours at the local pub.

He is hungover now and hasn't surfaced from his pit. The room stinks of stale beer and beer farts 🤢
When he does get up he will obviously not be capable of parenting his 3 kids and I will have a whole day of entertaining them whilst he lopes around.
The sight of him angers me, the smell of him angers me.

If I did this as regularly as he does I'd be a terrible mother and shamed but as a bloke it seems to be acceptable.
He's always apologetic the following day but then it always gets forgotten the next time a night out comes round and if I suggest drinking less then I'm a nag.
Ugh! So infuriating!

Hmmm I think once a month is ok and I wouldn’t have a problem with him not parenting the next morning. I’d say to chill out and let him have his once a month blow out. There are 29ish other days every month where he can parent. Everyone deserves some time off. You should do it back though. He gets one night/morning leeway per month and you get the same. Next weekend book yourself into a nearby spa and don’t come back until Sunday lunchtime. What’s good for him is good for you. Fairs fair
