DH is too hungover to help out with the kids today. I need to vent!

| DH went out with a college friend last night. He rarely goes out and rarely drinks, so I can't begrudge him, but he came home entirely wasted, dramatically puked his guts out at 6am, and is now on the couch moaning and saying he's too sick to move. We have two kids' bday parties to go to, an indoor soccer practice, and have people coming over tonight (though he's asking if I can cancel). So damn annoyed. |

| Sounds like you are over scheduled either way. |

| Mom, I get it. But if I were him, and this was a rare occurrence, I’d hope my partner would give me some grace. |

| I'm sorry, that sucks. But because it's a one off, I'd give him a pass. I think how he feels is punishment already. He needs a McDonald's quarter pounder, large fries, large diet coke if he has any chance of being ok later this evening. mcD is crucial |

tell your friends he puked this morning (no need to say why) and reschedule at least the people coming over part.
Carpool for the parties. Its a once in ten years kind of thing. |

| I totally understand your frustration. I’d be fuming. I don’t do that anymore so don’t understand why my DH would act like a 21 year old. It’s not excusable when you have small kids |

| If you have that much to do, you wouldn’t be posting on here. |

| I get it. I really do! It’s just a one time occurrence then it’ll be a rough day but remember, it’s just one day. If this is all the time, then I would be upset. |

I'd be annoyed (and grossed out, I hate puking) but agree that if it's once a decade you laugh it off. Either cancel the people coming over, or excuse him to the bedroom if they are people who you would see by yourself and the cleaning/cooking doesn't require him. If the birthday parties conflict, focus on getting him well enough to handle one of them.
That said, when we were younger and went out more frequently, our rule was "do what you want with your friends, but get up and have a normal next day." If baby is up at 6:00 AM, tough cookies: take a Tylenol, pitch in, and don't be short tempered just because you feel icky. |

😂 so true! But OP, treat him how you’d want to be treated. |

Give him some sprite or Gatorade and pain reliever, tell him to take a shower, and then he needs to eat some food and get some fresh air while you are at a party.
See if he can pull it together to sit at a party or soccer practice and squeeze in a quick nap before guests. |
