P.S. I replied to a text of his and asked him to check with me before letting S12 stay home for the day. He replied that no one checked with him when D8 stayed with me last night. I replied that she told me she asked him and he said it was ok. I asked that he bring both of them over at normal time tomorrow morning. He didn't reply. I tried not to sound demanding or mean. A friend said instead of the word "check" I could have said inform me. That would have been better. Next time.
