JO: 2X4 to your H's butt and a "bad boy for being late" and another "why didn't you ask the host if you could bring Jo to the party. What's with Two women can't be in the same room" thinking. You know not your (Andy's) kids but our (Jo and Andy's) kids and her kids? da.
Suggestions? Just what I wrote above, suggesting he ask if it would have been OK if you went too. You and DD made the tin of cakes to contribute to the party In my books, anyone that brings something can come and stay. I get in trouble sometimes for my "all are welcome" attitude so don't take my opinion as the right thing to do in all cases.
Quote: I never answer when I have guests as I like to give my attention to the guest.
I always answer the phone if only to say I ahve company and I will call back around x time. If I came to your house and your phone rang I would be concerned or feel bad if you "didn't" answer it.
Andy and rescuing women. Seems somewhat familiar. Sometimes I try to rescue BB. Hay I am trying to help you now. So am I amy different than Andy? I guesss some guys buy the sleeping beauty story even if we cant keep the bride (friend that is hosting the BD party in this case).
