Hi Raliced, I'm sorry to hear that & hope your D is better soon. My H was never really one to think ahead about drinks, sun hats, snacks and so on. That was always my job...

It must be hard to be the one who picks up the pieces when the kids come back overtired...

I don't know about the best way of handling that with their Dad...but maybe others will chime in with more helpful advice.

I agree with you on the schedule change. I know with my H and his XW, over the years there was a fair amount of give and take with the schedule and they both helped eachother, which is the best way I think....

Take care Raliced xx
