(((((GF))))) It does sound like your H has some control issues. It isn't good enough that something is done (going to get the kids), it has to be done HIS way. W is like that! C said last week that spouses of control freaks can become passive aggressive in response. W has accused me of that, I don't mean it, but I think it happens. I think you might as well. We didn't talk about whether there is anything to do about that, the hour flies by!
As far as the laundry goes, W HATES it when I do something she has asked me not to, even if it is totally logical to do it. Really, to the point of absurdity. So, I've stopped. But, I am not at all convinced that is always the right course. Sometimes it gets confusing!
