…we have to go to the store I arrange everything around Peanut’s schedule. If we go somewhere in the morning I like to go as early as possible so we can have time to get things done without being rushed and still be home before lunch and nap time. If we go somewhere in the afternoon I like to go as soon as Peanut wakes up from her nap. That way we can go and have time to get things done without being rushed and be home before she starts getting cranky for dinner. Or we can wait and go after dinner. It all makes perfect sense to me in my little mind.
On the other hand George likes to take his sweet time and then complains when I try to “rush” him out the door. We fight every single time. Then we get to wherever we are going and we have to hurry up because we either need to get home for lunch and nap or dinner. And then George gets mad at me for rushing him. And then we fight every single time.
He complains that I am thinking only of myself when I rush him around. In reality I am thinking only of Peanut and trying to make sure that we stay on her schedule so that she doesn’t get too hungry or tired. For some reason this does not make sense to George.
