[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids? With your scenario, at 5+ just tell them to get ready for bed and go to bed. No extras.[/quote]i Op here- they’re 1,4 and 6. Going to bed isn’t the problem actually. It’s making dinner, getting kids to eat, getting them bathed and entertaining them until bed. I enjoy reading to kids and putting them to bed. Some nights it’s chaos I really don’t want a spa day on the weekend or time to myself on the weekend. I need to have my nights run smoother. I can’t handle them at night. They’re great during the day but 4-8pm is hell. [/quote] Tell him either he participates equally in afterschool pick up, bed, bath and dinner or you will hire an afterschool helper M-F from 5-8 pm. Also, see if you can do some meal prep on the weekend together. [/quote] this is the way. the other alternative is to switch drop off/pickup and have him do pickup so he’s forced to come home at a normal time in the PM. also I wouldn’t hesitate to go to therapy over this.
