[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember when I was interning in college, at a newspaper, 10 years ago. When I first started, my boss' wife would call for him. He'd say "tell her I'm in a meeting." I would wonder why doesn't he want to talk to his wife?

Because I quickly found out she called three or four times PER DAY. Ladies, don't be that woman.[/quote]

Great story pp, but it has nothing at all to do with OP's situation. Nor does Mr Important briefing-the-POTUS's story. If OP's DH worked in a SCIF she would have said so. He's just the type to ignore his phone, and more importantly, ignore the entirely reasonable expectation that with a kid in daycare he be available if needed. For one of her examples, the PLAN WAS that he would text with a VITAL PIECE OF INFORMATION at SOME POINT during the workday...and he didn't.

OP, if daycare is 5 minutes from his work but a 30 min metro from yours, why are they calling you with requests like the food one? Why are you doing drop-off?

"And baby makes three," a book about post-kid marital relationships, has a great section on how successful couples increase their communication around kid logistics to avoid this sort of situation. This is a great demonstration of why it's valuable. [/quote]
