[quote=Anonymous]Sort of.  I might sort of mention an issue, but also make it clear that it's on MY plate, not his, and I'm planning to take care of it (or it's already been taken care of).  I kind of depends what it is.

Fight with my family:  Maybe worth a brief mention. (Actually this never happens, so forget it :))

Financial stuff: I mention, especially if he needs to know that I've got bills and checking account balance/cash flow covered, or if there's a need to cut back on expenses until the next paycheck.  More information sharing.

Scheduling:  If he's busy, I take care of it and tell him if he needs to check something or know where someone is, it's on the family calendar.

Needy kid:  Give an update and a suggestion for how to best use his time with said kid ("So and so had a hard day with a friend today. She could probably use a hug and 20 minutes to talk and be reassured that you love her no matter what.")

That's it.  My husband's actually better at shielding me from stuff when I am SUPER BUSY than I am. I aspire to be as good at it as he is. :)[/quote]
