Am I being a bitch?

I was exhausted last night after a busy day at work and doing things around the house.
My DH was on the computer told him twice nicely that I was tired and wanted to sleep at about 1030pm. He said he'll finish soon to. Waited 30 mins still doing something on the computer.
Went and looked at what he was doing. He was writing his daughter's uni assignment.
I told him again that I wanted to sleep and also said why are you writing your daughters uni paper?
He got angry and shouted need no lecture from me and said that I was a bitch.

Am I getting this straight...DH is doing his daughter's college homework? Great...more useless adults in the workforce thinking they should have jobs simply because they have degrees they didn't actually earn.

That said, no, you are not being a bitch! I've been having similar problems as of late. DH never wants to go to sleep when I do. I go to bed between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. He comes in, turns on the TV, works on his laptop in bed, etc. So, instead of falling asleep and staying asleep, I'm constantly dozing and waking up until DH finally turns everything up and tries to go to sleep himself. I've tried to say something about it, and DH makes me out to be the bad person saying that he only wants to be close to me! Oh, so what he wants to do is more important than me getting my sleep, which is actually important to my health and my overall well-being? Then, he complains that I'm tired all the time? Well, when I get less than 6 hours of sleep every night because he is watching TV in the bedroom and he is starting to have hearing issues (yes, already in his late 30's...he tries to deny it, but the TV is always blaring because he says he can't hear it, and he always thinks everyone around him is mumbling).

So no...you are not a bitch. You made it clear to DH that you wanted to sleep...you even told him nicely...and he ignored your need for sleep so that he could write his daughter's college paper...something that is his daughter's responsibility in the first place. Not to be mean, but if it were me, I would be so tempted to send that professor an anonymous note indicting suspicion that the girl was not doing her own college homework. Most universities frown on that, and some, it is grounds for expulsion. Now, I know you probably would not want her kicked out of college, because she would be right back at your house, but this is just something that really annoys me! I worked my butt off in college...while working a full time job AND raising a small child (BD23), and here is someone not even doing their own work, and they have nothing on their plate but college (or so I'm assuming)!
