Ugh, DH

DH and BM traded Memorial day and the 4th so that is would mean less driving for them because of how the weekends fell. I always know what the CO says but if DH doesn't write it down for me I forget their verbal agreements. DH should keep track of those.

The 4th is now BM's. DH has off today and tomorrow. I watch daycare kids M-F and a few days a month I clean some houses. When I clean DH watches daycare kids. This morning DH is with MIL while she has a medical procedure. This was planned a while ago. I am supposed to clean a house tomorrow starting at 8am. I'll have to leave our house at 7:30. Before I set up tomorrow I made sure it was ok with DH. The client is having a BBQ tomorrow evening and wants his house clean before so I can't re-schedule.

DH is supposed to meet BM  at 9am an hour away in the opposite direction of where I need to be tomorrow. Unless he bought a larger van and I'm not aware of it, that isn't going to work. The earliest DH would be able to meet BM tomorrow would be at 5pm. That's too late since it's a holiday.

DH needs to call BM and work something out. She may not be able to meet earlier but I know she will be home. IMO DH should offer do drive the whole way since since his poor planning is why tomorrow wont work. I was thinking he could drive the kids tonight. Thoughts?

    Due to his poor planning, I think this idea would work.

    The only other way would be for you to reschedule to 10:30am which isn't fair to you or to your customer, and is also unprofessional.  Its a job that you get paid for.

    10:30 would be too late. This house takes me 5-6 hours. Even if the timing worked out ok I don't want to re-schedule because it's unprofessional. DH would never ask his boss to work different hours on short notice because he planned poorly. It shouldn't be any different for my job simply because I'm self employed.

    As there is nothing you can change in your schedule, this is one of those things he will have to fix on his own.  I try not to get too invested in any suggestion I make, like driving the whole way, because BM here will cut off her nose if it means she gets to disagree with DH.  I'd just let him work it out.
