and hypersensitive? Or is dh an oaf?

[thedirtydirtybastards]

Would you think it was rude if your dh sent you this meesage at the last minute, when you had picked up the kids from school and rushed a dinner for them because he was taking one of them kayaking in the evening?

"ok - on the way - can you ask ds to change into comfy clothes & trainers, and pack a spare set of clothes/shoes in his bag please"

I think it's just the tone, I feel like the nanny

[Nancy66]

can't see a thing wrong with that.....sorry.

[TheVisitor]

I think you're being hypersensitive.

[ashamedandconfused]

you got a please and you're complaining?

I feel it must be a symptom of other probs if that message alone has got to you - it seems perfectly OK to me

[compo]

Jeez he says please
how do you want him to phrase it?
Or would you rather go kayaking and he pack the bag?

[ShatnersBassoon]

No, I'd think it was a succinct but polite text. Should he not have asked you to do those things? It's a pretty small favour, he didn't ask you to take him kayaking.

[ashamedandconfused]

Oh hang on have I got it wrong - was this bit "and pack a spare set of clothes/shoes in his bag please" an instruction for you to do that job, or to tell DS to do it?

[JamieAgain]

The tone sounds OK to me. How old is your DS?

[FurKnickersAndNoCoat]

don't see any problem with that

[compo]

I regularly send my dh an email 'put a baked potato inoven for me please' when I'm at work. He's never once replied 'i'm not a cgef'

[Numberfour]

YABU and over sensitive.

[alarkaspree]

I would think it was exceptionally polite, for a text message. He didn't even want you to do anything, just to tell your ds to get ready.

[JamieAgain]

OP - On a different note - I like your name. Do you like Brie and grape sandwiches?

[ginhag]

Divorce him.

[shopaholicJen]

what a load of Blarney

[ginhag]

Change the locks

[missmyoldname]

And I thought I was touchy!
OP get a grip.

[thedirtydirtybastards]

yy to brie and grape sarnies, and I am also partial to a bit of battered veg. With spicy jam

[AgentProvocateur]

DTMFA!!

[Sidge]

Er I think you are being hypersensitive.

He's asking you to do something for the child that he is taking out on an activity. If he'd texted 'don't forget to put my satin thong in the bag for my lad's night out tonight please' I'd be less impressed.

[anonymosity]

YABU. Very. Nothing wrong with the message. It includes a "please". Imagine if he'd got home and expected you to have done this without warning...

[JamieAgain]

the dirty dirty bastard

OP - how you doing. Taking your YABUS on the chin?
