[quote=Anonymous]Hi all. OP here. Yes, that is usually my strategy - don't let my schedule depend on his lateness - but there are some mornings when that is unavoidable.

I don't think it's unreasonable for me to expect that when a person says they will be ready to leave the house at 8, they will actually make an effort to be ready to leave the house at 8. Instead, what he did was read the news on iPad and drink some coffee, then rush through shaving and getting dressed. We were leaving the house at the time I should usually be sitting down at my desk, and when I tried to talk to him about it, after dropping DD off at school, his only suggestion was that I remind him in a less bitchy tone.

I assume that his defensiveness about it is mostly rooted in knowing that he was in the wrong, and ultimately we agreed (again) that he would pay more attention to the time and I would pay more attention to my alleged bitchy tone (I don't think I was bitchy, but he does, and that's what's important), so we'll see what happens.  I try really hard not to let my schedule be dependent on him, but I also feel kind of sad that I can't trust my husband to keep up his end of a deal he made. This morning I suggested that DD and I would just take the metro, and he said "No, I can be ready to go at 8."[/quote]
