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

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

TheVisitor · 03/05/2011 17:28

I think you're being hypersensitive.

ashamedandconfused · 03/05/2011 17:28

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 · 03/05/2011 17:29

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

ShatnersBassoon · 03/05/2011 17:29

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 · 03/05/2011 17:30

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 · 03/05/2011 17:31

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

FurKnickersAndNoCoat · 03/05/2011 17:31

don't see any problem with that

compo · 03/05/2011 17:31

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'

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.

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

ginhag · 03/05/2011 17:35

Divorce him.

shopaholicJen · 03/05/2011 17:36

ginhag · 03/05/2011 17:38

Change the locks

missmyoldname · 03/05/2011 17:39

DTMFA!!

Sidge · 03/05/2011 17:41

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 · 03/05/2011 17:41

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 · 03/05/2011 17:42

the dirty dirty bastard

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