[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you asking if you should go to the park? Did you want him to come with you? Just make a decision and leave.[/quote]

This is what I was thinking. Why can't you just make a decision?  You're an adult with a marriage and child but you can't decide if there's time to go to the park or not? COME ON!  You sound indecisive and naggy. I wouldn't want to answer you either.  JUST DECIDE.[/quote]

NP, same issues. What you posters don't understand is that OP is not seeking permission to do an activity.  She's trying to make plans for the family.  If she takes the older kid to the park, will DH watch the baby?  If not, she needs to prep both kids for the park.  My husband does this ALL.THE.TIME. because he'd rather me handle all the parenting work.

So OP could decide for herself that she'll go to the park with the two kids (bc DH isn't communicating his own plans) and then she has to do all of the work and DH gets a few hours to himself.

This adds up too - so if the DW ends up making all the decisions (bc DH won't communicate), then DW is cast as a controlling harpy that won't let her DH have a say in anything.

Ugh this thread is hitting too close to home.[/quote]

We understand.  This is when OP waltzes out with the older kid and tells DH that she and Larlo will be back in an hour.  Larla is upstairs napping and he needs to get the chicken in the oven while they are gone.[/quote]

Op here. I’m not sure I’m following. I could have just made an announcement to DH and left, but I would still need him to respond and say something so I could be reassured that he understands he’s on baby duty and that I have the other kid.

This conversation wasn’t me just trying to chit chat with my DH. I want our marriage to be a democracy and for him to have a voice. This was Sunday afternoon and it’s his weekend too-I wanted his input. Even if his answer was that he didn’t care, or that he thought it would be better not to go, etc.

We both work during the week so weekends are precious to us both and there’s never enough time.[/quote]
