Lost.. I love the bus analogy. What a great way to think of it. That is basically what I told him was be home by 5:15 if you want to eat, we leave at 5:45 and if you work late you know where the ball field is.

Does it ever backfire on you to make the plans without thinking about the other person? I know many times I have made plans and he will say "thanks for asking me" or on the weekends he will ask what the plan is because he assumes I have the weekend already planned for him and didn't say anything.
