Semi Follow-up to "Keep Trying" post

If you read my previous post about DH being upset that my mom doesn't want to babysit SD7, this is sort of a follow-up. I knew DH wasn't happy about it but I thought he had let it go. If not, at least try to deal with it and move on. I guess last night he was telling SD7 that DH and I are going out tonight so she will be staying with her grandma. She asked where Ava (our baby girl) is staying, and DH told her that my mom is coming over to stay with her so she can stay home. Of course SD asked why, and I already forget what DH told her. My actual point about all this is not that it happened, but that DH felt the need to bring it up just before going to bed last night. He said that it seemed like SD was a little upset about it and he didn't know how to explain it to her without hurting her feelings. I was just quiet and when DH asked if something was wrong I said I didn't know why he has to keep bringing it up. He said he wasn't trying to upset me, he was just telling me what happened and that SD is fine. So then why tell me just before that that she seemed upset?? I don't know why he couldn't tell SD something like you're going to grandma's because she misses you and wants to have a sleepover, but Ava needs to stay home with all her stuff because she's a baby and there would be too much to take. At least put a positive spin on it somehow.
