[quote=Anonymous]And I mean for the other spouse. My DH has what is probably undiagnosed ADHD but he refuses to do anything about it and is convinced his time blindness is not a problem for us. I'm unlikely to get him to take ownership of this problem himself. I basically need better ways of getting him to adhere to the family schedule when it's not negotiable.

So what do those of you living with a similar partner do to address this? I am a very time aware person and am the family clock, for sure. We also have two small kids (under 5) so I drive the bus on making sure we get to school and other places on time, making sure bed time happens within an appropriate window, ensuring kids are eating and going to the bathroom at regular intervals, etc.

My DH is capable of being on time to things -- he is on time to work every day, he is religious about being on time for planes and trains, and he's pretty good at being on time for social events with friends. He, somehow, cannot apply any of those strategies to our children or to our family schedule for things like mealtimes.

All ideas welcome.[/quote]
