[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it. He didn't discuss with you first and you're freaking out about what else will he not partner with you on in the future. I understand why you'd feel panic-y. I would, too. I would try not to be reactive, given nothing bad happened, then try to strategize to get the outcome you want. Work in your self-interest. I don't mean to be manipulative about it, but in a way, it's what you're doing to get your needs met.

If it were me, my strategy would be to say, "[u]Hey baby, thanks for running all of those errands. I wouldn't have made the same choice to let Larla babysit, given she's in a cast and Larlo is sick, but I understand you need the help and you did the best you can. Thanks for taking the reigns on this because I was really busy. Let's talk first next time so we're both comfy with the babysitting set up, [/u]and let's talk about paying Larla next time when she babysits, too, so she can pocket a little cash. Love you!"[/quote]

Please tell me you don't actually condescend to your husband like this.  What. The. F*ck.[/quote]

If my dh was stupid enough not to consult me before making that decision, then f**k yeah, I would. And he'd be too stupid to know I was doing it. But, I wouldn't care, because I'd get my way, and he'd be happy that I didn't nag him.

Why would the kid's dad need to consult the other parent?  You guys are insane.  [/quote]
