How often does your wife say something like "I told you about this?" (1 Viewer)

Okay, gonna have to tweak this a little. Received about 245 invites in the last 15 minutes.

Thought the calendar invites were a great idea, so I texted my wife, sent some invites for stuff we've got going on this summer, etc (basically just the major stuff).

In turn, my calendar now has a haircut, hair coloring, manicure, pedicure, girls night, brunch with friends, like 47 children's birthday parties a weekend for the next 6 weeks, teeball every weekend, birthdays, anniversary... ####### everything!!! Wife is going nuts with this - Which one of you #######s thought this was a good idea? Really didn't think this one through :hot:

All of the sudden, "no, you didn't tell me" isn't a viable excuse.

Yes, this happens to me often as well. The bigger issue that I am having though is that I don't even remember half of the things that I say. Now where'd I put that bong?

Google calendar is the way to go - have a separate calendar for each kid so we can plan out the sports weekends and practices through the week.

Main issue is when she does not put something on the calendar (though she is much better now), or, when she does put something on the calendar that isn't really going to happen, so now I have to confirm if her dinner with so and so is actually happening so I know if I am on my own shuttling kids or making dinner, etc. Not a major issue, more a minor annoyance at this point.

We do this too.  When we first started, I put different sexual acts on the calendar every night for a month.  Threw in some weekend afternoon and weekday morning stuff too.  FWIW... it didn't land :kicksrock:

At least 3 times a week. But we both work from home so we communicate more than most working married couples I'd imagine. 

She says

Her: "I'm gonna meet Mel for dinner next Wednesday night, ol?"  

Me: Ok!

*fast forward to Wednesday at 5:45 pm*

her: "Ok, the baby is fed. Put her down at 6:30. I'm leaving"

me: where are you going?

her: out with Mel. I told you about this!

me: ok but you've got to remind me day of so I can plan dinner. 

Her: Why?

me: because I don't keep your social calendar in my head a week out.

I love when my wife goes out to dinner with her friends.  This would be like an amazingly pleasant surprise for me so I probably wouldn't make a big deal about it.

Might take a while to tweak and balance the system.

Telling me about something 12 days in advance doesn't really move the needle

Sort through it.  Now you are ready for level 2.  Saying "no."

Not often anymore. Created a shared google calendar for our schedules. My response after I did that "If it's not in the calendar, it doesn't exist". Took her about a month of hearing me say that until she got in the habit of putting everything on the calendar.

:wub:

Until the calendar starts getting trolled/pre-emptively blocked off.

Then you will really regret having given this idea legs.

My prediction.

As much as the calendar could backfire, could also work.

Sunday after labor day weekend All Day Even Recurring through New Years Day - NFL. Location - Couch & TV. Reject all Sunday invites, "I'm double booked, don't you check the calendar????"

She has time to do 245 invites in 15 minutes and you can't even make 1 business call?

How would you solve this Issue? Neighbor keeps dogs off lease and they run around and do their business on other neighbors property.
