A neighbor 3 doors away told DH that she was bringing her riding lawn mower here and she wanted him to jack it up and scrap underneath the mower bed. DH agreed to do it. When I heard about this, I waited until DH was out of hearing before I called the neighbor to explain that DH doesn't think clearly and I was not comfortable with him doing this safely. She is a retired colonel and is used to giving orders and expecting them to be followed. Sorry. Not sorry. You cannot order my husband to do things. I told her that I would send DS17 to her home to deep clean her mower, but she doesn't want it done at her home because it will cause a mess. There wasn't any drama, and we ended the phone call as friendly as possible.
