Quote: FYI--it would be great if you took care of this detail as well. I'm not sure how W feels, but if my H made fun plans and left the grunt work of logistics to me, it would definitely take away from the treat.
Well, I have faith in how I handled it. She asked immediatly after I gave her the tickets how we'd handle the babysitting. I told her we could drop them by my parents (only an hour away from concert) or she could get the babysitter we used before. I also told her I would be happy to arrange it, but felt she was happier if she made those arrangments in the past so would defer to her. She seemed to appreciate me noticing that she liked to arrange for the sitter/care for the kids. It's a step. Once we get a sitter established and she feels comfortable, then I agree that I should make all the plans.
As for the "partnership" versus using her as an extension of myself, that is an interesting concept. I will give that some thought...thank you as usual.
