DH rushing us when there’s no need

DH gets in an anxious rush when he/we leave the house, even if we aren’t running late. He fusses and rushes us. I know getting kids out the door isn’t easy.

He also seems to need a detailed plan of our free time when sometimes we need a loose one and to go with the flow.

I’ve asked him to relax. He does it even when he’s not coming with us (then I have to deal with the kids worrying in the car that we are gonna be late even when I know we are early/on time).

Anyone else’s partner do this? Anxiety? Wasn’t like this pre-kids.

You need to make him understand that he is going to pass on his anxiety to his children if he doesn't stop doing this.
