    No, I actually said we would alter it if we needed to when it came to school. He's not 2 yet, lots can change naturally in the next 3 years and we might not need to change anything much anyway!

    Fair enough, mine have always done 7-7, will it not be harder to change him as he gets older?

    Not having a go, just asking :)

    He's very much like me in that way, and apparently it wasn't a problem for me.
    Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.

    Post of the year. :T:T:T
    I truely don't understand these responses - the issue is that OP's OH doesn't want to do family things with his kid at the weekend.

    Glad you are both talking it through OP.

    I thought that Sambucus's post was sarcasm tbh, as it was obvious that the issue the OP was having clearly required more than *just* time management skills. :D

    Of course I could be wrong, and in that case, I don't understand either. :rotfl:

    Ditto the talking bit. :)

    Ah! I obviously haven't got fully funtioning sarcasm radars today:D. I think I just picked up on what seemed the end of a number of posts leaning towards OP somehow not organising her SAHM role well enough which really didn't seem the problem.

    Sorry - mine was intense sarcasm. Hence the hand claps.

    Unfortunately they took away the raised eyes smilie.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.
