Sorry, useless with my phone and posted too soon on my other thread. This is what I meant to ask. Asked MN to delete the other one.
Arranged to meet up with a friend who lives on the same estate as me. We see each other at children’s centre stuff quite often but don’t normally meet up 1 to 1.
We arranged to meet one afternoon so I texted her that morning to say would 2pm be alright. She texted back to say her DS (who’s 3.5) naps from 1 until about 3.45 so she could either meet me at the entrance to the estate at 4pm or at the park or library etc at 4.30 if I was going to be out already.
I texted back to say that’s a bit too late for us as my DC normally have tea about 5.30 so we aim to be home for about 4.45 to get tea on. She didn’t reply but then when I saw her this morning at a children’s centre session she said she was really shocked that I “don’t go out after 4pm” and that it must be “really restricting” to have a strict schedule like that.
AIBU to think it’s unusual for a 3.5 year old to nap that late in the afternoon? She often says he’s difficult at bedtime, which I’m not surprised about if he’s napping until nearly 4pm! Or am I unusual for aiming to be back home around 4.45 to do tea for young DC? I guess I thought people just do what works for them but as she seems to think there’s something wrong with my routine I wondered if I’m actually unusual.
