i love my DH, but...

...sometimes he drives me bonkers...

For the first time since having kids we have work trips that overlap, so we'll need to figure something out for the girls.  He is assuming that his brother will be fine with taking them for 2 nights. 

Some of you may remember how we recently had the girls stay at my BIL's when we were out of town (for DH's work) and my MIL came up to watch them (her choice to stay at BILs, not ours).  My BIL may very well be fine with adding 2 kids to his already full household...but he may not be... and regardless I don't ever like to assume in cases like these...2 weeks ago when we realized that we needed to figure out child care, I asked DH to confirm with his brother, so that if it was a problem, we could come up with another option (possibly asking my mom to come in town to watch the girls)...as of this afternoon he has STILL not asked his BIL and when I called to remind him just now, he seemed unfazed and unconcerned that this has not been confirmed. 

Sigh.

It will be okay, I know...just frustrating for me, the logistic planner of our household.

    That sounds like dh and I! I am the planner and he is the "it will work out, it always does" guy. It always does work out though ;)

    good luck!

    I do remember that story about your MIL watching your kids at BIL's house... how did that turn out?  I remember you thinking that she wanted to do that so she would have help or something.  If that worked out OK, though I know you were frustrated by it, can you do that again?

    If not, sounds to me like you need to call you mom in.  I'm totally with you, I make these arrangements too.  DH is totally "it'll work out" and I'm totally "it works out because I MAKE it work out!"

    Wife, Musician, Fed, WW-er, and Mom of three little kids - not necessarily in that order.

    yes!! same here!

    I think he really believes things just magically happen. Yes, the q-tips do just fly thru the air into the container whenever it's empty
