[quote=Anonymous]You know this is how he spends his Saturdays. You are trying to change him. That is your issue, not his. If you would like to interrupt his routine, that's fine but it takes more than you deciding, unilaterally, that you would like something done at a certain time.

A better way to approach this is the following:

Larlo, do you have a minute? I'd like to discuss something with you. I know you like to run errands on Saturdays and I hate to interfere but I also know how much you love Christmas and setting up the tree. I really need the tree set up this weekend and here is why: x,y,z. So I was wondering if you could please set that up before you head out on your errands? It would mean a lot to me.

Right now, he has something he enjoys. Part of the strain is he sees you as plotting to take that away from him and sees this as a battle. If you acknowledge his normal Saturday and ask for an exception, that's less confrontational and easier for him to do what you want.[/quote]
