AIBU to think that DH will just have to manage

[HarryLimeFoxtrot]

I'm away at a conference next week. This was planned a long time ago - DH has known about it since September 2014.

It seems to have finally dawned on him that he will have to juggle the DC and the ever-changing school sports events. Usually I handle this side of things as I have a shorter commute. I know it is a PITA (different every week), but it is a consequence of having sporty DC (private school - they are expected to attend if picked for the team).

He's spent the evening saying things like: 'but what time does rounders finish' (A: look at the information sheet - every match is different as it depends where they are travelling to/from). 'Does DS have to attend the event even if everyone else is available?' (DS is the reserve - I know no more than he does).

WIBU to just detach and let him deal with it?

As someone said earlier, you can bet they don't act like this at work. I would practice saying 'Maybe you should check with the school' on repeat.

I have two things to suggest

1. You had to learn how to do it-so can he. Any problems he will probably find a school parent willing to help out, if I'm honest school parents always seem much more willing to help out dads than mums, probably because of the "aw bless he can't possibly manage" mindset which annoys the fick out of me.
   
   
2. Cozi is a free planner/calendar app, and it is great for stuff like this, you can even import some calendars so I have the school one go through my google calendar to Cozi seamlessly, if you put stuff in he can see it, if does you will, it will send reminders, hi-light which people need to be where.
   You have one family account and then you can link it to however many people are in the family with smart phones etc. The right people get reminders. It gets better the more you use it-then he wont have to call you up about stuff like this.

I would draw up a timetable for each day of what needs to happen and when. Then I would make a list of which child needs which kit packed for each day, pretty much item by item. to avoid things being forgotten.

Bollocks to that. Did anyone draw up lists for the OP when the kids started needing timetabling?

Leave him to it, OP. He's (presumably) a competent grown-up.

Good god no magnificent!

Sulky, last minute, naaa, we are adults in our house, we do what needs to be done, by who ever needs to do it.
I can tell you that if my dh acted like that, he would get short shrift, as would I.

We have a family calendar app - if it is on there it gets done by whoever is around to do it - has never been only one of us knowing what needs doing when. Short list of what happens what days, and leave him to it.

Well I'm away right now. Tonights phone call home ( to say goodnight to child and chat to dh) suggested that the pair if them had survived , dh had made decision about child's fitness to do evening sport . He also wanted to check if i had menu planned this week or if there was simply "food in the house".
Neither of us had remembered till the phone call that child needs a packed lunch tomorrow and that piano teacher needed phoning. I've now phoned piano teacher as I had the number and dh didn't.

Team work. We muddle through. I'm enjoying the novelty of a hotel room and nothing to do. If it stops raining I shall go and explore.
