Let's say you were out of town or helping your parents or out shopping all day and your husband was home with the kids. You don't hear from him until late in the afternoon when he sends you the following text.

The kids woke me up at 7:30 and there was no sleep after that. When they weren't fighting, they were giddy and climbing all over me. We're at the community walkathon and it just started raining. My stomach has been churning all day and I feel blah.

What's he really saying or asking for?

How would you respond?

Why would you respond this way?

Discuss.

Cheers!
