Wendylon, a couple of things: 1. Your H was just being cranky--don't take what happened too seriously. Do you think the whole holiday/family vs. "I-don't-know-what-will-happen-with-my-life" isn't getting to him? Of course it is. 2. DO let him come up with dessert. This is a perfect 180 opportunity. I made the mistake to want to be in charge of holidays and my H felt left out and that he wasn't good enough. Trust me. Be excited about his choice even if it's your least favorite. How bad can a bad dessert be, anyway? :-)
