[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think keeping track of the kids’ activity schedules and when they need to be picked up is non-essential. The vacations might be, but the kids’ schedules are not.[/quote]

Why are you doing this in the first place? We have a shared calendar— all activities go on that calendar, and we discuss who is responsible for what at the start of each season/camp/activity. What is there to keep track of? [/quote]

Ok, so I have a printed calendar on the fridge with schedules, as the spouse is not willing to sign up to TeamSnap nor other apps that have the schedules. He would never look at a shared calendar. He's not responsible for any season/camp/activity just like the OP's spouse. I have about 10 apps on my phone that I have only because of the kids. Nevertheless, he then calls with "when is this and this kid doing that" when he suddenly remembers that he has kids or maybe someone in the office mentioned they're taking their kid. You'd be surprised how impossible it is to involve someone who's just NOT INTERESTED, but then wants to pretend to be involved, which usually just resorts to drama. Like we're just about to leave when he calls and then demands why he was not told that a certain event was that day (even though it's in the calendar), resulting in him arguing how he's left out, me trying to keep my cool, and us being late, because he's going on and on on the phone. This is what OP and I am talking about. Not about a man who's able and willing to manage a shared calendar. [/quote]
