[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, your DH could have stepped up and gotten your daughter dressed. But you did not actually ask him to do anything. If this is his normal work time, then his default is to do work.

You need to say to him something like "I need to shower in preparation for this appointment. Can you please dress daughter, get her teeth brushed, and prep her school bag before I get out of the shower? Then we'll be able to go the instant I'm ready."

This is what you say to your nanny, not your (alleged) co-parent. Jaysus H...[/quote]

Yes exactly. He knows that these appointments are really hard on her and we often have a challenging morning. Mornings are often tough because this child has ADHD and it takes a while for meds to kick in. Do dads really want to have the dynamic where their wives walk them through routine tasks every moment? I feel like if I said this list to my husband he’d complain that I’m a micromanager. You can’t win. [/quote]

Ask him: do you work here, or do you live here? If you're just working, and need to be instructed, I'll be the boss. Don't complain. If you live here, and are invested in the goings on, there shouldn't be a problem getting the kids ready on time, and I shouldn't need to provide you a checklist. Choose, dude.[/quote]
