Good boy, DH!

On Saturday morning, I was out running some errands.  The following conversation takes place between DH and me via text: (Lexi is the skids' cousin, and her mother is Medusa's very erratic sister, Auntie Addict, who is now recovered but still unstable, and with whom Medusa has no contact)

DH- Are you okay with Lexie coming for 3-4 days starting Monday?
Me - do I have a choice?
DH - of course you do...why do ask that?
Me - did you say anything like "oh, it's totally fine with me but let me check with WOB first?"
DH- nope
Me - are you sure?  What did you say exactly?
DH- BV asked and I told her I would check the calendar and get back to her
Me - and my name was nowhere in your statement to her?
DH- Nope.  don't wanna get my ass kicked by you or by Jeanette
Me - good.  I am good with three days, but not 4.

AWWWW! He's learning!!! 

I HATE it when people try to plan things that involve or directly affect me without communication. Kudos to your DH for starting to figure it out!

Yep - he knows better than to promise first and ask permission later :-) 

He also knows how I feel about people obligating me to things without my knowledge or consent...grrrrr!

"dont want to get my ass kicked by you and Jeanette"  Now here is a DH who knows how to tow the line. Love it.

He still drops the ball from time to time, but he also knows he doesn't like sitting in the chair next to me and across from Jeanette having to explain why he did something Smile
