I work straight afternoon shift, 4-12 with Thurs and Fridays off. (Gettin that changed come Jan.) WH works straight dayshift with Sat. and Sun off. (History I moved out of the house 3 months ago, 8 houses over, still working on plan a though) Well, when I moved out, i bought all the stuff I needed,(mostly second hand or from friends) One day he called me over and told me I could take anything from the "pile" on the porch or it was going into the trash the next day. Everything that i had decorated with was there! Pictures, plants, furniture etc...so I took it. Also included was the x-mas tree boxes and decorations. I requested to keep it there though.
So...Last week end I took off for Sat and Sun, WH calls and says that 6yr son wants to come over and put xmas tree up. I told him to put it up over there with son, I wasn't feeling good (just had a root canal 2 days previous) Well, no he brought it over with son. Well, now he is complaining that I took everything from the house includeing the xmas tree! (my only sanity sometimes is my oldest boys 14 and 10, who had to help him carry this all to the "trash" pile)
So, being in plan A....
Thought on my days off i would go get a artifical tree for him (he says he doesn't have the money) and go to a craft store and have the boys make some ornaments. (I"m not taking down all my decorations!)We can make several differnt types, I know the boys would enjoy this as they have in the past years.WH didn't really get into "doing" that kind of activities.
Delima: Do I invite him over to "help" and have dinner, or me and the boys have 2 nights of crafts, play some xmas music, take some pictures have them developed (we do every year, we would just have to make more due to the "new" tree) and "suprise" him with them on Sat?
Any ideas?
