dh the chronic procrastinator

in July 2013 Moms
I signed up to teach for a week during the summer program at work. 6 weeks ago I asked dh to find a sitter for the kids this friday for orientation. Every other day is taken care of but day care is closed fri. Well he never did after reminders twice a week. He always assumed certain people will help and now when he is asking them about it today they are all busy. I may actually have to call off my first day of work because of it.

Im just so frustrated because I always have to coordinate child care. I just needed his help once because my usual suspects are unavailable. This sucks.

    I'm sorry, you certainly don't need any extra stress at this point! Maybe try a site like Care.com? You usually get pretty quick responses because there are soo many sitters available!

    MH can procrastinate with the best of them. This is what I would do. He took on the responsibility and didn't follow through, so he can deal w/ the consequences.

    This. MH also always leaves child care up to me and it drives me crazy because I work twice as many hours per week as he does. They don't get it.
    Waiting for #3!

    My exact response to him would be, "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.  Looks like you're watching the kids."

    Agree. My DH is a master procrastinator as well, and he is the one to deal with the consequences of his choices, although I often have to hear him grumble about it. That's a YP not a My P.

    I cant have him stay home unfortunately! He just started his new job in april and has 2.5 days of time off. I figure that's more important for the baby and if theres any left over for a V. I just dont understand how people can go through life without planning ahead!
