[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 368906, member: 3907"] Thanks Ladies! I always suspect that I'm overreacting to stuff like this. It's good to know that, if anything, my response was pretty mild. I think one of husband's biggest problems is a really bad sense of time. He was supposed to pick up his mother and bring her over here for a visit with the kidwinks. She's 86 and ill, so she doesn't move very quickly, and his delay was caused by helping her to get ready and trying to rein in difficult child (who is still staying with her). I had been trying to chase him out of the house all morning to pick her up, so that he would be back in good time. But he had a few things he "needed to do" (dishes, laundry, a job application)...stuff that could have waited until Nana was here corralling the grandkids. His misguided sense of priorities and how much time a given task will take caused yesterday's mess. Marg, Suz, you both make some good points. husband always talks about how much he supports my work and wants to take as much of the burden off me as he can, and 99% of the time he is supportive and helpful. But at the same time, he has a long-standing pattern of falling down on the job when it's something really important and I need him to be there. I wonder if there's anything behind that, as he doesn't let me down at any other time. Putting that at the top of the list for my next therapist appointment. [/QUOTE]
