[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher and off for the summer. During the summer, DH works and I handle most of the household logistics.

A coworker of DH has a childcare gap for one week later this month and needs someone for two hours a day (M–F) until another caregiver takes over. DH asked our DD15 if she'd do it, and she agreed. The catch is that the family lives about 20 minutes away, and DD doesn't drive, so I'd have to transport her.

DH never asked me if I was willing to do this, he simply informed me after the fact. That means either waiting around for two hours each day or making two round trips. I probably would have agreed if he'd asked, but I'm irritated that he didn't even consult me, especially since this isn't the first time he's volunteered my time. I think because I'm essentially a SAHM during the summer, he doesn't see my time as my own.

Not looking for advice, just wondering whether being upset about not being consulted is a reasonable reaction.

You said you probably would have agreed if he'd asked, so maybe he felt confident in that. He definitely should have asked, and that's worth saying, but it doesn't sound like he was totally off base with the idea?[/quote]
