Don't ask him what he wants to do - Tell him what you're doing, and he at least knows what to expect. Just make sure you actually stick to doing what you say, otherwise it'll throw him off.

Hope you're having fun with the D's with H out of town!! I just got D's school pictures today - funny stuff \:\)


I see in your thread Brit that you are doing a very good job of making plans w/ your D. However, she is relying on you much more than my H is me. He only relies on me to take care of the Ds and his laundry. H does not look to me for an emotional support.

I just really feel that at this point in time he is going to take anything I ask about Christmas as manipulation. Since one of his issues w/ me is that it is me and the Ds and then him alone, I also hate to make plans that don't include him. It just seems that I am in a no win sitch.

I do plan to dec some halls tonight before he comes back tomorrow. I invited him to have dinner with us tomorrow and he said ok although he didn't seem excited. H keeps telling the girls on the phone that he misses them and loves them. Nothing for me. Last night he didn't even talk to me because his battery was low.

I will make today a fun day with Ds
