H called my cell at 6:45pm. He was supposed to be home at 6:00pm. He is 'out with work people' and they want to go to the hockey game. Basically it went like this:

H: How late can (sitter) stay?

Me: You aren't home?

H: I can be in 2 minutes if you need me to be.

Me: (at a loss)

H: How late can (sitter) stay? I am out with work people and they all want to go to the hockey game. What should I do?

Me: Of course the kids would rather you go home to see them.

H: (silence)

Me: You need to call (sitter) to see how late she can stay if you are going to stay out.

H: Ok. Are you sure its ok?

Me: We are paying for a sitter we don't need, but the girls are fine.

H: You don't sound mad.

I changed the subject here. The sitter can stay til 11pm MAX. H knows this, I guarantee he won't be at home on time. I am at a loss here, but am trying to keep it together.
