[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure it's about multitasking, it's just that he is doing less. Maybe he needs a list?[/quote]

I have given him a list. And we do checklists with DC to help her stay on task and to make getting ready for things go more smoothly. So it's not that he doesn't know. He just lacks the skills or motivation to actually make more than one thing happen at a time. And if I say anything, he wants credit for the one thing (i.e. giving her breakfast) and thinks it's unreasonable to expect him to do any of the other things. Or he'll say "I tried" because he asked her when she got up if she wanted to get dressed and she said no so that was that.

He's not a jerk about any of this and when I explain that I don't want to be the one doing all of these tasks, he agrees we should share them. But anytime we're on any kind of clock, it's honestly the only way it gets done because he just moves so slow and doesn't know how to combine tasks so they go faster. Like tonight was his night to do bedtime (we alternate nights) and I had work stuff. I came out of my office at 8:30 so that he and I could eat dinner and discovered DC was still up. I'd come out to say good night to her at 7, which is her actual bedtime. But between DH's disorganization and slowness and DC's natural inclination to postpone bedtime, it just wasn't happening. I don't know what to do.[/quote]
