Advice
So a couple nights per week I online tutor pretty much the minute R gets home from work until 10pm. I'm finding it really difficult to stay to myself because I remember things that I didn't fill R in on because there wasn't much time, so I tell him as I think of it. The example tonight, Little man had milk in the fridge that he didn't finish from dinner. I always make him finish what's in the fridge if he gets thirsty because I don't want the milk going to waste and I don't let him have juice very much. (Side note: When he does have juice it consists of like 2 Tablespoons of juice and the rest water) So tonight he said he was thirsty and I yelled out that he had milk to finish. Apparently he didn't want the milk so R gave him juice instead, which I didn't know. So then it looks like I'm bossing R around because I didn't realize he gave him juice instead of the milk that was in there. I don't want to over ride his authority. Does anyone have a good way to giving your spouse info about the child if you are literally passing the child from one parent to the next? I guess maybe I'll have to start writing things down.

No suggestions here...though I think your suggestion of writing things down is probably the only thing you could do.
Hmmm. Stuff like that happens with us. How it usually goes down is I'll yell out what you did and then Dustin will say "oh, mommy wants you to drink your milk" and he'll stick to it, to back up my authority in the house. But that's a non issue in our house, some other areas that are hot spots are how to deal with whining. I'll usually just go along with what he's doing and then talk to him about it later. I'd rather have us have one time where we seem like we are doing opposite things than a time where I am the overbearing mommy and disrespectful wife.
I guess you just have to figure out how big a deal it is
