Who is right?

I was going to post this in the Oct 2020 group, but then realized it’d be unfair because a lot of tired mamas would probably tell me I’m right lol.

We have a toddler and a newborn (8 weeks). I’m in my last week of maternity. We have a great routine going. We do baths together, alternate our toddler’s bedtime and I always put our 8 week old to bed because I come upstairs for bed earlier than my husband (usually 10:30-11 ... I’d come up earlier but this is when she falls asleep for the night). Well tonight I was exhausted after this long holiday weekend. Typically our baby falls asleep on me or my husband on the couch and then putting her to bed is super easy. But tonight, she was wide awake. At 10:30, I told my husband I was tired and wanted to come up and he went to hand me the baby to bring up, but she was awake. So I told him to just put her down when he comes to bed. He basically said no that’s not fair because its usually me and I was breaking the routine. He wasn’t expecting to put her down and wished I told him earlier (like I’d known she’d be up 🙄). I am very headstrong about us parenting 50/50, so of course I gave pushback but I took her because I’m not going to argue about putting our daughter to bed...she’s a baby. We’re not in a fight and I’m not mad (just annoyed), I’m just really curious as to what others think.

Should I have just taken her and got her asleep on my own without pushback? Or should my husband have sucked it up and let her fall asleep on him on the couch and put her down when he came up (since he’d be up anyway and I’m exhausted)?
