[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don’t understand, and maybe you can explain this to me, is why didn’t you say anything much earlier in the process?  Like, as soon as your wife said she wanted a chair, why didn’t you look up some that you liked and email them to her?  Or as soon as she said she was going to start driving again, why didn’t you schedule her some driving lessons before she started driving the kids?  
Why wait until she is done to put in your $0.02?[/quote]

I suggested two years ago she start driving -- with no kids in the car -- for practice. Of course, that would have required a driver's license, and somehow she didn't get around to getting one until recently.[b] I suppose I could have insisted -- but that would be controlling, wouldn't it?[/b]

With furniture, we just got settled in a new house a few weeks ago, so we are just beginning the process of furnishing it.[/quote]

I'm sure the PP above was the first person who's ever called you "controlling." Must be a real shock to hear.[/quote]

Do you have kids? I take it you would be OK with putting them in a car with an inexperienced driver ... somebody who had never driven before in the USA? [/quote]

Honestly, no.  I have had au pairs before, so I have been in this situation.  And if I had one that pushed to drive the kids before she was ready, then I would fire her because I wouldn’t trust her judgment.  
  So, either there is more to the story (my guess), or the OP should never leave his children alone with their mother because she has horrible judgment (in which case, who could blame her for being mad)?  [/quote]
