Schedules are great, kids get accustomed to them, but throw in a bit of flexibility and most everyone is a happy camper. At least most of the time. :) Lins latest blog nuggle..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TellingItLikeItIs/~3/328787797/how-to-be-a-good-step-parent.html" rel="nofollow">How to Be a Good Step-Parent</a> LOL, ahh the memories come flooding back to me.

Imagine if Jeremy began telling you how you could better manage your day. Imagine if he was tellin' ya the best way to support a store, how to create a process to improve sales or deal with difficult employees. I got a bet it would irritate ya. The most important thing to remember is he/she who has ownership wins. Jeremy doesn't have to deal with the outcomes of your job, so to tell ya how to do it just doesn't make sense. Same with the stay at home spouse. The workin' parent absolutely has a say, but you put it best they should be an influencer. The stay at home parent has to live with the outcomes, an unruly child, a tired child, a dirty child, a cranky child, etc. therefore what ever works for them. In our house, Antlady decides, i just influence. I didn't say it was easy, but at the end of the day. It's her sanity, not mine. Great post!

It's no different. We have a set time we start bedtime routines, but we're not 100% strict about it. We can be flexible, just not wishy washy...make exceptions, just don't let the exceptions become the rule!
