[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always ask my spouse to come home a little later if they were going to come home in the middle of bedtime routine. Either come home before bedtime routine or after they’re in bed but not in the middle.[/quote]

Really? Whenever my spouse comes home at bedtime, it pushes the kids' sleep by at least 30 minutes. Then the kids are crabby and I have to spend longer time putting them to bed. It's not too much to ask that they be considerate of that when the kids are really young.[/quote]

I'm with you. I'm the one who posted above about DH starting a tickle war after the kids were peacefully tucked in falling asleep. We're still married, but it was a close call after that (I kid. Mostly.)  Did you miss that whole long thread a while back?  People were outraged at the thought of asking the spouse (usually it's dad) to come before or after bedtime but not in the middle, but I totally get it. Not only is it annoying for the parent who is doing bedtime, it can negatively affect the kids for all of the next day. Not fair to anyone.[/quote]

I remember that too.  I honestly feel that most of the people on that thread either had helpful spouses who were typically there for bedtime and would actually take over some of the bedtime routine, or they didn’t have children at all.  [/quote]

Well yes, I wouldn't marry someone who isn't interested in taking care of his children.  YMMV.[/quote]

My husband and I had our children after we married.  His children are mine too.  YMMV.  [/quote]
