AITAH for getting upset at how my Bf helped me while I was sick.

Am I the asshole. I 30 stayed home from work today because I have vertigo like symptoms and could not go to work. BF 27 decided to stay home to "take care of me". We have 2 kids both male 7 and 3. Getting ready for work I couldnt do much besides puke, dry heave and get nauseous from moving around and asked bf if he could take 7 yo to school since I was having a hard time. He got upset that he was going to be late to a class that started at 8 (first I heard of him going to class) that was across the city..... It was 7:30 at the time and it takes more than 40 mins to get to said class and the kids school is a 10 min drive including the drop off time. He was mad and said "why even try" then proceed to be angry about 7yo not being dressed (missing his coat, backpack, and shoes). I was and still feel like ass so I was going to call my mom who normally babysits while I'm at work to pick up 3yo but I got his call and decided to not call her. Bf went to drop off kid and called saying there no point in going to work and he was going to stay home to help me out. ** 3 yo is in an attachment phase and wants mom all the time.** Now bf comes home and is slightly helpful, let me take a hot bath to see if I would feel better (It didn't work), and gave 3yo food (he doesn't eat a lot right now and it's a struggle) I tired to take a nap after the bath but the baby kept coming into the room and bf came in a put a kids show on for him (my head is vibrating with pain at this point). I start googling why this is happening since it's the second time I've been dizzy and puking (it not vertigo went to the hospital for it the first time and they couldnt figure it out) I finally looked up if I could be overdoing it with vitamin because I recently started taking a new liquid multivitamin and all the symptoms aligned. Bf comes in and is upset I'm on my phone and I let him know what I found out and his attitude changes completely. He goes to sit in the living room leaving me in charge of 3 yo with the tv blasting. I still manage to sleep for 20 mins and then he comes in telling me I need to eat and drink I agree and he makes me oatmeal I thank him because it's not a regular occurrence. And he starts ranting about the 3yo not eating but continuing to snack. I'm beyond dizzy and trying really hard not to give into the nauseous feeling since I did need something in my stomach. I was able to eat half and drink some coffee to see if maybe it would cause to movement and help me not be so nauseous (bad idea). Went back to bed to see if I could get some rest but again 3yo followed and bf did nothing to help out besided get upset. He turned on the living room TV to play videogames. I couldn't sleep because baby wanted to play and wouldn't stop poking my eyes to let me know it's morning time. Noon comes and goes and bf is lost in the bathroom for another hour. I get up to make some lunch and am struggling to walk to the kitchen. I manage to get some soup in a pot, and start it then processed to be restroom where I try not to puke and hope for a bowel movement. Come back out and bf is still in the other bathroom. I go check food and he comes out stating "oh I was about to come and start something" it's was almost 1:30pm at this point and 3yo is attempting to eat candy and cookies. I come back to my room to lay down and hope the nausea goes away. He comes in a complains about how it's a waste to attempt to feed 3yo since he doesn't eat anyways. I ignore it and go sit at the table and he is nice enough to serve me and 3yo soup. He starts arguing with 3 yo about eating and not taking my Gatorade and my head was pounding so I gave it to him so they would stop. I finished half the soup and went to lay down again because it's the only thing that's helping. 3 yo follows and all bf did was say "leave her alone". I give in because hearing him yell from another room hurts more than the baby rolling all over me so I attempted to nap again (was unsuccessful) at the same time bf ends up taking a nap on couch and is late to pick up 7yo from school I get upset and ask what was the point in him staying home if I honestly got no help from him. He got upset about how he's tired too and we started arguing. I told him honestly I would have preferred you had gone to work instead of staying home because you weren't much help. Now he's mad at me saying I'm ungrateful and unforgiving that people make mistakes. That he still when to get the 7yo and it's not like the world ended.

Am I the asshole for being upset about how my bf helped me while I was sick?
