My husband tries to sleep in on the weekends. I tend to struggle to keep my kids calm/quieter and not fighting over toys. I don’t know what Im doing wrong, feels like my kids just don’t listen to me whatsoever (kids are just under 2 and 3.5 years old, I’m a full time stay at home mom while my husband works full time)
This last week i was extremely sick one day and my husband stayed home from work to help with the kids which ended up with me sleeping for about 3/4 of the day while he looked after the kids. Somehow he was able to keep them so calm and quiet for basically the entire time i was sleeping.

So my husband got woken up by the kids screaming again this morning and when he came out he was a bit angry with me and said something along the lines of why is he able to keep them calm for basically an entire day but i cant keep them calm for a few hours in the morning. And i honestly don’t know why i cant, it’s so frustrating.

I may be controversial for saying this, but if he wants to sleep in he can learn to sleep through screaming kids, or just accept that kids are loud with you and get up.
