Husbands / Dads: Want more personal time for buddies and just hanging out? Our sure fire way to get you more you time.

It’s really simple.  ENGAGE in planning the family schedule!

The truth is that schedules aren’t the problem. The problem is being on someone else’s schedule, which inevitably happens when you don’t make your own.  If your wife is managing the schedule alone, you’re at the mercy of someone else’s priorities. They’ve lined hours and events up neatly and you’re just reacting to each thing as it occurs.  Sound familiar?

If you’re not helping to make your family’s plan, your spouse has to do it and dictate it to you. That’s neither fair for them nor good for you. You’ve made her your boss which she doesn’t want to be.  This only causes both of you to resent the power dynamic you’ve scrambled into. It’s more work for her and less freedom for you.

When you help create a schedule, they become tools instead of burdens. They’re like roadmaps or blueprints — and they become more fluid and present more options, including hanging with your bro’s or reading the Sunday paper.
