[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]

Then she's criticized for being "naggy" for telling her DH what and when to make dinner.

Plus, this is one insidious step in placing ALL the decisionmaking responsibility (including managing timelines) on the wife.  Before you know it, she's the 100% default parent.

pretty neat trick on the DH's part.  [/quote]
