📝 AITA for not making my children be quieter than on my husbands day(s) off work?

i have a 8 year old and almost 2 year old who are usually awake by 8am on the weekends. sometimes the youngest will sleep in for a while. i wake up with the kids, sometimes i’ll lay in bed for an extra 30 minutes or so while they watch cartoons or snack on some fruit before breakfast. husband doesn’t work on the weekends usually and will have random days off during the week depending on the season and what jobs are lined up. on his days off he likes to sleep in. totally get it and i really don’t mind but sometimes kids are loud in the morning, my youngest might start crying or yelling, which is what toddlers do sometimes. i do my best to keep them quiet so he can sleep in, but he will get angry, yelling or slamming the bedroom door, making comments about how I must not be watching the youngest because she’ll start to bang on the wall or on the doors. He yells and says we’re being rude and he “doesn’t get it” he sleeps until 11-12 in the afternoon and i feel like if i don’t keep these kids quiet so he can rest he’ll be in a shitty mood for the rest of the day. AITA for not respecting the fact that he’s sleeping? we live in a small house and my kids play in the living room together but they do go in their room to play as well. i’m not really sure how to tell them to be more quiet until dad wakes up
