Who is being weird about clocks changing here?

[TimeToTurnItAround]

DH does this thing after the clocks change where he says "5pm but really 6pm" or whatever the old time is....for about 2 weeks

He says we are all on old time for about 2 weeks and that it takes everyone that time to readjust and he is just reminding me of the "real" time for the adjustment period.

I think this is super weird. He thinks I'm being mad by saying you feel a bit more tired for one day and that is about it.

Thoughts?

I say it to myself. I'm from a country that doesn't do time changes and still find it highly irritating after over 10 years in the UK.

Especially when it's this way around because I feel like I've been robbed of an hour

I hate these people with a passion. They’re the same people who give themselves social jet lag by letting their old time zone live rent free in their head for two weeks.

The time has changed. Live in it.

I do it for a couple of days. But we have a 1 year old, and I think it does take a bit longer for her to adjust. She woke up at her normal time, so was tired at her normal time tonight, so bedtime had to be adjusted as far as the time on the clock was concerned. .

I answer and then the dreaded question, 'So if the clock says it's 11am what time is it really?'

Me - '11am'

😂😂😂

I meant the behaviour of commenting on it all the time was weird. Clocks have changed,
fine. Not really something to prattle on about to your household for a fortnight though, surely?

For the first day I'll be saying stuff like '6 o'clock, 5oclock in old money'

I tend to get over it by Monday

I do this for the first couple of days and definitely say it out loud!

I need to change my username.

I love BST, but it takes me a few days to adjust. My body clock is all over the place.

I try not to say it out loud but I do think it & I will say it if the other person says something like 'I know it's 1pm but I'm not ready for my lunch today 😫🙄🙄

I think it’s a bit odd to comment on the ‘real’ time every time for 2 weeks (although wonder if you are exaggerating slightly for dramatic effect), but I definitely feel out of sorts by the clock change for several days, a week maybe.

I think how affected you are may be worsened by the age of your children. Like some pps have said, losing an hour is hard when you get woken psycho early as it is.

What are you talking about? The clocks went forward, not back. It hasn’t been 9pm old time yet.
Yesterday, it was 19:53 right now, almost 8pm. But the clocks went forward so today it’s almost 9pm.

When the clocks get to 10pm today, then it’s your usually bedtime (9pm yesterday).

Does he not have much going on in his life? I find people who obsess over stuff like this just don't really have much of a life.

WTF?! Major over reaction here!! Get a grip.

And as for those asking every time if the clocks are going forward or backwards, it's 'spring forward fall back'

Yes I know you were talking about the commenting

Thats not weird either, thats someone talking and communicating. I know that this forum has a reputation for hating that, particularly from men but its still not weird.

I put my analogue clocks forward last night at about 6pm and have not thought about it since!

I do for the first couple of days but only in the context of 'oh it's so light/dark outside, suppose it's like X o clock isn't it' until I get used to it.

We spend quite a long time saying ’but it’s really…’
It just helps you understand why you’re so very desperate for bed at 8pm. Dinner was late today because no one was hungry. But of course it was ‘really’ the usual time.

The day of the clock change I do this but then move on. I read that with jet lag it can take a day per hour time difference to adjust. So 2 weeks to adjust to an hour change seems a long time to me!

I've told DH 350 times today that he's not a fucking time traveller and it's the time it says on his phone ffs. Every time the clocks go back or forward, we have this debate about the "real time".

Why are you desperate for bed at 8pm? That was only 7pm yesterday. Do you go to bed at 7pm?

I think it's weird too. Straight onto new time and business as usual here.

Lots of people do that.

Some of these replies are crazy to me. If we have roast dinner at 4pm one weekend I don't get reallt hungry if its more like 5pm the following weekend. If I go to bed at 11 instead of 10 I might feel a little more tired in the morning but it's soon shaken off. Are people affected by clocks changing by one hour as they do the same thing the same time every day?? I don't understand it at all. I wake up and that is the time. If no one told me I wouldn't know. DH thinks this makes me some sort of pyscho.

I'm being light hearted BTW. I don't really mind. I just find it baffling.

I do this in my head until about Tuesday.

Yes, we do. We are quite clock bound. We eat our meals the same time every day. I go to bed at 9pm. Wake up around 6 if it’s dark, around 5 if it’s light.

The dog does, the babies did. DH always used public transport so left at the same time every and returned at the same time.

I can’t sleep in for love nor money. My babies didn’t either- woke with the light which is hell on earth in summer.
