[quote=Anonymous]I'm in grad school and I'm married with a kid in elementary school. I think you should talk with your husband yo see what he really means. For me, "better study routine" would mean anything from dedicated time to do schoolwork or studying out of the house. It doesn't necessarily mean MORE time, just better use of time, as the professor above explains.

How it works for us is that Saturday afternoons, DH and DD have an outing. It doesn't matter what it is - they get out of the house for 3-4 hours and I use that time for school. Not cleaning. Not taking a bath. Not yoga. Just school. I also try to do the same on Tuesday or Wednesday night because of the timing of due dates in my program. He should think about when he is the most productive and try to get his work done then. For me, I am never as productive as I think in the morning so I don't even plan to do school then. I get a lot done in the evening after DD goes to bed, so I try to work then as much as possible.

Your husband doesn't get a pass on participating in family stuff. He doesn't get a pass on cleaning up his own messes like the PP mentions with the laundry example. What we have done is streamlined our routines a lot. We make time to spend together as a couple and also as a family. [/quote]
