I had this problem yesterday. My daughter’s birthday was
that evening, with all the grandparents coming over. I was busy in town until
after noon and had a lot of cleaning and prep to take care of in just a few
hours. Knowing this, I had asked my husband the day before if he would help me
since he wasn’t working. When I arrived at the babysitters to pick the kids up,
he was there but obviously had no intention of coming home with me thinking
that sweeping that morning was enough. I wish I could say that I calmly asked
him to help me with other chores, or just went home without getting upset…but I
didn’t.
