DH: "I didn't do her bedtime routine. I was hungry." WTF?

DH:  The baby's all fussy I can't get her to sleep.  Will you try?

Me:  How did her bedtime routine go?

DH:  I didn't do all of it.  I was pretty hungry.

Me ::: gives DH the evil eye :::

I walk in there and sure enough she's standing up in the crib staring imperiously at her taggy, her board book, and her pacifier which are all stacked on an end table slightly out of her reach.  So I give them to her, rock and sing to her a bit, put her down, and rub her belly,

When I walk back in the living room DH is sitting on the couch eating stirfry.  He goes, "Wow, you are so much better than I am at that!  I bet she'll be out in no time!"

GAH!  Really?  My mad skillz consist of following through on the routine that she's been on since birth.  You don't just get to decide to deviate from it "because you're hungry."  It's a friggin' 5 minute routine.  Suck it up, jacka$$.

    OMG, seriously- I feel you on this one.  Tonight we ended up getting caught up doing something & had to have dinner out & we got home late.  I rush the girls into the shower- assuming we're both on the same page about getting them to bed.  Naw- he informs me he'll be up as soon as he's done eating his fudge bar.  Nice.

    As I would say to my husband in such a situation, "Man up!"  It is funny because I am notorious about having melt downs when I am hungry, but I have on numerous occasions put it off due to DS needing my full attention or care.  DH often rolls his eyes when I ask for something to eat in said situation and then I remind him that I am taking care of his child and he will have an earful if he doesn't hook me up.  I feel DS should be first at all times, DH disagrees big time.
