[quote=Anonymous]I love my husband with all my heart. He is an amazing attentive father and husband. Smart. Kind. Caring.

Dude has very little concept of how long it takes to do anything. He might say he was doing something for 20 minutes when it took an hour. The phrase that makes me craziest that he says all the time is "I didn't realize it was so late!"

He's the one getting our toddler ready in the mornings and he gives her a bath at night. She's a toddler so she's not exactly a linear factor. I'm in the midst of crazy work stress and am the one who has to do drop-off (daycare is on my campus) and so I find myself hurrying them along ALL THE TIME.

I don't think this is ever going to change. He's been like this for the nearly 20 years I've known him. In many ways it's a good counterpoint to my own nature. But geez I get weary of being the taskmaster all the time.

I'm the one who notices when our daughter is "off" because we've been too loose with her schedule and I find myself saying "No - we need to put her to bed NOW. We need to feed her NOW." And then she has a tantrum and starts climbing me and my ability to reason with him goes out the window.

And I hear my girlfriends go on about their husbands' lack of time management too. 
Anyway - can I just get a little solidarity from my other time-crunched moms married to laid-back guys? [/quote]
