Hi all,
My husband and I both work full time and have 6 beautiful, lively children between the ages of 6 and 12. I love him dearly and we normally make a fantastic team, sharing all chores.
One thing that he does repeatedly that makes me extremely cross and frustrated, is fall asleep in the early evening. We both work similar hours and are out of the house early taking children to school and both back by 5pm latest. We both have fairly physical jobs but neither of us have any health conditions. He consistently shares the cooking/tidying then says he’s exhausted and wanders off upstairs to bed where he falls asleep instantly, leaving me to get all the children to bed and sort stuff for the
morning. This is anywhere between 5pm and 8pm. We have fallen out many a time due to this and he always apologises and says he didn’t mean to fall asleep. But in my mind, wandering up to the bedroom and lying down indicates he actually has every intention of going for a sleep. It makes me feel shit, like he’s tired and is able to go and relax because I’ll pick up the slack.
I tend to go to bed about 9-11, when everyone is asleep.
He also falls asleep in his work uniform, which I know he would have a serious problem with me doing as I work in health, and he is a tradesman.
Am I in the wrong here?!
