[quote=Anonymous]In my marriage, truthfully, I do just about everything with the kids, so I don't rely on DH.  I pretty much plan things so I know I can do them on my own and don't need him, because he's not reliable.

Also, he would never, ever get our kids prepared for something (like he would never make lunch, fill a water bottle, even make sure the kids are ready to go at a certain time). That would be a disaster.  If he's in charge of driving, the only thing he does is show up at the door to the garage.  I'm the one who gets the kids there, with all their supplies.  If I'm not home, I set a timer for the kids and give them specific instructions.  I also tape a note to the door to the garage with my instructions.  Plus, I usually send a detailed email (emails don't get lost like paper lists do) to DH about where he's going, what he has to do once there, etc.  I'm realizing as I'm writing it sounds a little ridiculous, but I'm so used to it.

And one other things... I find things go much more smoothly when it's something DH is invested in.  For example, one of my kids plays a sport, and DH is really, really into it.  He drives to all practices, games, etc., and is rarely late.  [/quote]
