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

Why are you complaining Op?

You've got scheduled entertainment (soccer, 2 bday parties, and presumably kid friendly guests coming over in the evening). You don't need your husband and you have yourself an easy day.

And be glad your dh doesn't get drink every weekend and is otherwise unhelpful.
Many of us solo parent 24/7 bc of absent and inconvenienced husbands

Encourage him to go out drinking at least 1x/week with his friends to build a tolerance. Then this won't happen again.

I hope you cancelled tonight. It sounds like the perfect day. Two drop off parties and soccer. The kids should be tired tonight. Get take out and put the kids in front of a movie.

It happens to many of us. DH and I both got really sick like that, once each, in about the last ten years. It’s a nice reminder you are in hour 40s now and you don’t do it again. Neither of us yelled at the other.

OP here - we cancelled on our friends! DH seems half alive now and we're eating takeout Baja on the sofa.

Just thinking about eating all that junk makes me want to vomit!

Why would you encourage potential alcoholism.

For a real bad hangover, it's very effective.

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.

Yet here you are doing just that. Wow.

Wow what? Are you new to these forums? It's where people can anonymously vent. It's ok.

I mean I bet it. I’d be annoyed too. But since this almost never happens, I’d forgive him and move on.

I was the wife that had too much to drink last night (very unusual for me but we were out having fun and the drinks were flowing) and my husband let me sleep in and got me a greasy breakfast to help me until I knew it was time for me to take on my share of the responsibilities around 10am.

It happens. It’s your turn to do it next!

Glad it worked out for you.

I would be annoyed that he did this knowing the plans we had the following day.

I just don't like irresponsibility.

PP, have you heard of sarcasm? It’s a hallmark of DCUM.

No judgement on the drinking or hangover, but he should have been able to pull it together by the evening. If I were your friends, I'd be annoyed.
