I'm getting ready to go out to a hen afternoon/evening. DH is at work until about 2.30.
We have two teen DDs. One is at a sleepover from last night and will need picking up later, tricky location for public transport. She's then going to a party, another parent is taking them, I've asked DH to pick up at 11/12.
The other teen is desperate to go shopping for holiday clothes but none of her mates are available and she's asked DH to go with her later, which I think is a lovely opportunity for a bit of 1-1.
All this seems very straightforward to me but I'm getting tons of texts from DH with a hundred bloody questions on the logistics of it all. It's suddenly dawned on me that he's been protected from the bustle of family life as I usually do all of this sort of stuff as he works much longer hours than I do, but for once I feel he needs to step up and deal with it it, and text the teens if he wants more info, not me!
I bet he texts all afternoon which will piss me off. He hasn't got s problem with me going out at all but seems to struggle with normal family life.
His latest text is asking if DD should go to the party at all, as IT IS A BOY'S PARTY, shock horror and he doesn't know him. DD has been very up front about asking to go, telling us where it is etc, friends of hers are going and she's being dropped off and picked up. She's 16 in a few months!
