A little back ground. Son ALWAYS leaves the T.V on in the play room when he goes down the street. I am always getting on his case about this.
Sooo today I was home watching T.V/ W took son to store to spend his B-Day money... When they got home he was showing me his stuff and started playing with it. I had to go to the store so I turned the T.V to cartoons. I walked past W in her "office" and told her I was going to the store. When I walked past the office on my way out son was in there with her.
When I got back son was down the street. W said to me." oh by the way you left the T.V. on. I said Son was in there when I left. She said "NO he was in here when you left. I said he was in the game room when I left the room. W said you are always getting on his case and plenty of times in the past you leave the T.V on and leave in your car. (I don't remember EVER doing that) Anyway W says even the girls (my grown daughters used to say how come dad always gets on our case for things he does also. I told W ya know you leave the T.V on in the living room and go to other places in the house but I don't say anything because WE are the adults. Why can't we stick tog eater instead of battling? She just said that she just wanted to let me know. I said Ok I'm sorry and I will never leave the T.V on again. And if I do tell me.

Ok tonight before bed I am going to tell wife thank you for giving me the feed back about the T.V. I should not have gone on the defense. We have a problem communicating I realize me because defensive instead of listening. We need to be able to tell each other things that are bothering us.
With that said can I tell you something that bothers me?
When ever I go somewhere and you are not home I leave a note letting you know where I went. I would really appreciate it if you would leave me notes also. I know sometimes you tell me the day before where you are going but I forget sometimes....
