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 Hmm

My DH is dyslexic so he probably wouldnt have bothered with the 'please'.

So by my standards the text was a bit over the top with the fluffy stuff!

Bumpsadaisie · 03/05/2011 18:20

Sorry, but YABU.

Your DH was doing what so many DHs are useless at - actually thinking ahead about what DS would need and taking responsibility for organising it (although he wanted to you to pass on his instructions because you were present). He did say please ...

thedirtydirtybastards · 03/05/2011 19:25

he was asking me to pack the bag, not ds!

There's nothing wrong with the message although obviously his new found oratory skills he picked up from the Blarney stone don't stretch to texting.

WhiteBumOfTheMountain · 03/05/2011 19:28

So what? How old is your DS? All you did was pick the kids up and cok a meal! Confused

And dh asked you to please put certain things in DS bag...he's thinking ahead...saving time....you sound very paranoid.

OMG divorce him immediately he is clearly abusive!!

Hmm

Sorry but I really think you need to get a grip! That seemed to be a perfectly polite text to me! I wouldn't have taken offence at it!

Nancy66 · 03/05/2011 19:33

so what if he asked you to put - what - two things in a bag for your son. that will take all of a minute won't it?

freeandhappy · 03/05/2011 19:36

Hope you pit some Zovirax in the bag too!Smile

freeandhappy · 03/05/2011 19:37

Put

squeakytoy · 03/05/2011 19:41

Well he is obviously a stonewalling gaslighting abusive bastard, you should be packing HIS bags, how dare he speak to you like that...

Hmm

Get a grip love! Grin

shakey1500 · 03/05/2011 19:52

I also think YABVU. He's thinking ahead, probably sent the text in a rush yet still managed to put please! AND for something he's doing with ds later.

Absolutely sounds fine.

TrinityRhino · 03/05/2011 19:54

wow hyoersensitive is an understatement

you have ishoooooos

sorry

Ormirian · 03/05/2011 19:56

No it's not rude.

TrinityRhino · 03/05/2011 19:57

how old id ds?
I'm sorrry but that texting is asking YOU to merely ASK your ds to do two things

and even if he was asking you to put some things in ds' bag there is still no issue wiht ti at

I mean what is your dh allowed to ask you politely to do?????

Lipsofchicken · 03/05/2011 20:05

Wake up and smell the coffee!

BaronessVonEvenstar · 03/05/2011 20:06

I would divorce him, in fact get an injunction out on him tonight!!!

YABVVU AND HYPERSENSITIVE!!!

bobbinogs · 03/05/2011 20:17

I would be delighted if my dh thought ahead and took responsibility for getting organised like that. If dh was taking ds out I would definitely be packing the bag myself aswell as cooking tea etc. Dh wouldn't think 2 even think what was needed and there wouldn't be any pleases. What are you upset about? he's asking politely for your help

Vicky2011 · 03/05/2011 20:18

He's being passive aggressive and clearly has NPD Grin

YABU. There's nothing rude in that text at all.

ReshapeWhileDamp · 03/05/2011 20:21

DIVORCE THE BAAAASTARRRD! Grin

Rillyrillygoodlooking · 03/05/2011 20:23

YABU.

If DH is taking the two DCs out at the weekend, he will sit at the computer going on his equivalent of MN and I pretty much get everything ready, and the kids ready so all he has to do is put them in the car and shoot off. Its annoying.

nzshar · 03/05/2011 21:07

I'm with reshape divorce the good for nothing. Fancy taking one of the children kayaking and making sure they are ready!!!! OMFG! Hmm
