[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you are both crunched for time. [/quote]

No. He's just disrespectful. It will be 1 or 1:30 pm before he finishes things with his friends. That's exactly when ds should be taking a nap. He plans things as if he's single but he's not anymore. [/quote]

Can’t you go after the nap?  Honestly if nap is at 1:30 and you don’t live close to the zoo, you didn’t have time for the zoo before nap time anyway.

I get that it sucks. I’m married to someone like that too. And I used to be rigid. But like PP said, I chose happiness so I fixed what I could control - which was my rigidity and my expectations. [/quote]

His nap can be pushed back to 3 pm.[b] He won't take a nap unless we take him on an outing[/b]. If it were really 15 minutes it would be NO BIG DEAL but DH never comes back when he says he will. I also don't understand WHY he needs to veiw the house. His friends already bought it. We will eventually see it.

Huh?

How old is this kid? Is the zoo so he will take a nap? Or just to get in that outing?

When you have talked to your DH about your issues with family day, how does he respond? Is he someone who just doesn't pay attention to itineraries? [/quote]

Most kids need some sort of physical activity to take naps pp. This isn't rocket science.[/quote]

pp--yes, I get that, but also felt like OP felt very stuck in her thinking so OP was being controlled not just by DH but by DS as well. Because there are plenty of ways to get physical activity in. Also, age of the kid matters if the kid has been given a commitment about the zoo and understands it is supposed to be a commitment. If the kid is young enough to buy squirrels in the backyard as our very own zoo, part of the fallout from DH's behavior is managed.

But I am wondering about the family day talk needing to happen outside of a day when the issue is happening. [/quote]
