[quote=Anonymous]Is he a planner about things for himself?  If he isn’t, you aren’t going to change him.  Pick your time on the weekend where you have set plans like Saturday morning you go for a run and workout, he is on deck with DS. Since DH likes to be spontaneous he should hopefully not have anything planned and he can decide last minute what he wants to do with your son.  I hate having to plan ahead for certain things but I end up doing so because my motivation do have my kids get certain experiences is stronger and I have felt the consequences when I don’t immediately sign up for something they have said that they want to do that we agreed to.

With the daycare schedules get him to do mornings if afternoons are so problematic.  Let him know how it impacts you (and him) when you find out you need to do pickup last minute in the afternoons. Is it that you can’t start dinner so he will need to make dinner that night, is it work that won’t get done so he needs to handle bedtime so you can finish up  or you may have a conference call and can’t break free to get there on time so he risks no one being there on time?  I think the issue with you being willing to do all drop-off plus pickups 3 times a week is that it makes it seems like he is helping you when he can do more than two pickups and it shouldn’t be an issue if he has a last minute conflict the days you are working from home.[/quote]
