[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is like this. Drives me bonkers.

Only thing that seems to have worked is consequences. Doesn't give the kids their bath? I go to bed and let him handle bedtime solo and let him deal with the cranky, sleep deprived kid the next morning. Kid isn't ready in the morning? I leave, he takes kid to school and is late for work. Isn't ready when it's time to leave? I go without him.

Just tonight I told him what time dinner would be ready. He strolled in 30 minutes late. I had eaten, his food was cold, I went on with my own evening plans. He doesn't get intimate time because he's late, oh well.

When it gets really bad I'll have a huge, full-on meltdown. Tears, hysterical sobbing, hyperventilating,  freaking out that I have to do everything. Most of it is acting. But it buys me a few weeks of him stepping it up. [/quote]

This seems . . . incredibly dysfunctional.[/quote]

Lol. It’s frustrating, but we have a surprisingly good relationship otherwise.

Funnily enough we had a conversation about it this weekend. He brought up that he recognizes it’s a problem he procrastinates but he doesn’t understand why he does it. To me the answer is obvious, get off your phone, take your headphones out, close the laptop. No clue why he’s so baffled that when he spends an hour googling sports, he doesn’t have time to get the kids to school. [/quote]
