DH loves a plan and I love his skills as he is proactive (he needs it in his job). I also know that some kids like to know roughly what we are doing (park, lunch and bath etc) but recently he’s been laying every plan out in exact minutes and I think the DC are getting hung up on things happening exactly as he says as well.
He is a laid back person but examples are:
4 minutes then we are coming in from the garden DS.
Your programme starts at 6pm and it’s 5:59 so it’s not on yet. That’s probably because of the adverts etc etc.
Early bedtime tonight as you are really tired (no we’re not!) so teeth at 7:25.
The kids are Year 4 primary.
AIBU to think this is a bit OTT? At least he is giving them a heads up (!) but DS1 finds a change in plan really upsetting and I don’t know if it’s to do with everything being exact?
I know we are different in this respect but I keep it loose so bathtime soon, dinner soon…
It’s only a small thing I suppose.
