[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since OP can't be bothered to elaborate for all we know he just wanted to walk the kid to the park and she lost her mind because how dare he not run that by her first. OP probably knows the details will make her look like a loon which is why she won't clarify. The details matter here.[/quote]
This is OP. It involved going from point A to point B on a form of transportation (not a car) with no plan on how to safely get back to point A because it wasn’t round trip. The trip started in about 40 minutes, and it started 30 minutes away from where we were. I was concerned they weren’t going to make it to the initial stop or wouldn’t have a way to get back and my kid would be crushed. If he had spoken to me ahead of time instead of impulsively announcing the plans to my son, I could have talked through my concerns with him directly without getting my kid all ginned up. It sounded incredibly fun, but stuff like that takes more than 3 minutes of planning.

I’m sure I will be flamed as a rigid B for wanting to talk through his plan. [/quote]

This is so incredibly stupid. Why did you even bother to post about it?[/quote]
Because his reaction when I didn’t greet the idea with the enthusiasm he felt it deserved was to yell at me in front of my son and storm out?[/quote]

Well if the alternative would be to sit around and listen to you complain about it for the next few hours it makes sense that he would leave.[/quote]
