[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the person. My husband is much more thoughtful than I am - or it seems that it comes more naturally to him. I know what I “should” do, but I have to make a conscious effort to do it. We each have things we are better at remembering to be communicative or collaborative about regarding the kids and the house. If I actually need an update or a check-in because there is a subsequent event that depends on trading places / swapping cars / handing off the kids - I remind him or he reminds me. He tends to get “lost” in social situations and lose track of time and I tend to get “lost” at work and forget to let people know when I am coming home.
Unless it seems blatantly mean, controlling, or dismissive, I would just be more vocal about your needs. Like “I’m looking forward to dinner, please let me know when I can come back up and change to get ready.” I can see someone actually being selfish in a cruel way, but I can also recognize that keeping track of time and thinking of how your actions and schedule impact others is something some people are bad at - like remember names or thinking ahead.
