I need to change my dc's daily schedule. I need it for me. And that's the hardest part! I am resistant to change, am not an early morning person, and suffer from hormone-related insomnia. One day could be easy and flowing, the next day he!!.
History: Dh is an ART Director for an Ad Firm. He is at the mercy of his demanding clients. For the past year, he has also been teaching at the local college. THis term is especially late. 4 classes 2 days ending at 8:15 PM. All of the "freetime" is going towards his classes and clients.
Dc have been coming first. Marriage second. It is taking a huge toll.
THe kids are on "no" schedule-nor have they ever been. It's all been around dh. I have seen the results of having no schedule-it's convenient as we are homeschoolers. However, I deal with any crankiness if dh is late, and the dc refuse to go to bed w/o seeing Daddy. Daddy is crushed too.
I have been reading a lot about how dc thrive when put on schedules(NOT BABIES!!!!) and am feeling like we as a family need to change our ways. MAybe dh won't get to see them, and vice-a-versa. But if they are going to bed earlier,they would hopefully be waking up earlier, and therefore seeing dh at that time of day.
If you've been in my situation, please share!!!
TIA,
