Is it unfair to have not had a lie in for 4 weeks?

Me again, my partner scaffolds and has had a tiring couple of weeks at work recently. We have a very active 4, 5 and 8 month old. Im up at 5 everyday, walk 3 miles for the school run and don't stop. I also try and fit work in from home to do my bit with bills. Im so mentally and physically exhausted. He keeps saying he will get up for the morning feed and doesn't. I wake him up and then he gets sharp and tells me he's "doing it" whilst dozing and eventually I give up every time and do it myself.

Tried to have a conversation just before about this to be told I never understand when it's him that's tired and he's really trying to twist it round onto me. Whilst talking, (he was more than awake before our conversation), he started closing his eyes and told me I'm going on at him now. I've had enough of getting nowhere and will really struggle getting him to leave. He's fine other than this, I just wanted somewhere to vent. What would you do?

Walk three miles for the school run?

your 4 and 5 year old walk 3 miles to school? And then back?

I used to. Although not the point of the thread.

The thing is saying 'just don't get up'
You can't leave a baby crying and a 4 &5 year old unsupervised.

You're not married to him, you have three children with him, he's not going to give you a lie-in but you say he's fine in other ways.

You'll just have to suck it up and don't have a fourth.
