[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you op. I'd be p.o.d, too.  To those who said she should've set that expectation:  a husband should not have to be told to be considerate. It's the fact that, knowing he will be on a mini-vacation the next week while his wife looks after the kids alone, he couldn't be bothered to put the effort into looking after the kids the day before he leaves for vacation, and also miss out on a family event that the kids were looking forward to.

IMO, much of the resentment wives have against husbands would disappear if the husbands put some thought and effort into being a good husband and parent.  Why does a grown man have to be told to be a bit more considerate and thoughtful of his wife when it comes to being a partner in the home?[/quote]

You being completely right, on every point, won't make a single marriage better. Secret expectations that other people will be "considerate," by your definition of considerate, won't either.

I agree OP's husband would have been a much better husband if he had jumped to all of this without being told. But OP continuing to expect that, when he clearly does not have that expectation of himself, is not going to help her marriage one lick. [/quote]
