[QUOTE="Andy, post: 336254, member: 5096"] Yucky Yick! is correct. Wow! I hope you feel better now that you got some of this down in writing. I am a writing type of person. If I see something on paper, than I can start to tackle it. Your frustration with husband makes a lot of sense. I wonder if you wrote up a schedule for the week and handed it to him. Put down on each day the hours you will be home and the times you will be home but unavailable for anything because of "study time". On those days you are home at 7:00, ask him if he can make supper those nights or if he is unable to, give him the menu for the eveningl. Fried hamburgers, a canned vegetable, and a canned fruit. Those are very fast. You know, even after over 20 years of marriage, I still can't remember what time of the night husband will be walking into the house after work. It use to be better when I watched the 5:00 news because he ALWAYS walked in at the local news time interrupting the part of the show I really wanted to hear! UGH! And, when he says he will be late, it may mean only 10 minutes. It does vary now a lot depending on the day of the week. Maybe your husband is just having a hard time grasping the schedule? Do you have consequences for when she is home late? Sounds like it is time to revisit this rule with her (once again!) sigh! Anyway, these may not be helpful ideas for you but I hope you get the idea of looking over what you just wrote and taking the next step of brainstorming to come up with ideas to get through. Maybe your family just needs you to put the structure of the new schedule into their hands. It is hard for some of our kids and husband's to catch on to new schedules and what they mean to everyone. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
