Doesn't get exhausting???
is it just me of staying constantly on a routine with yourself, partner and kids gets drained exhausting???
What ideas to stay top of a routine without feeling tired drained doing the same repeats of the routine?
Even when my kids on their routine I have to constantly ask behind them did you brush your teeth?
Did you do this and that? so on and so on then my kids yell at me I know when I tell them about their routine, my brother told me I hovered my kids too much about their routine, I was told my kids won't be independent if I keep telling and reminding my kids about the routines.
I said I just don't want to lose my kids and end up like my sister she loss her kid of her kid had bad hygiene then my brother told me I wouldn't lose them from that because I'm constantly telling them what to do, then there's time I give them their space doing their routine on their own then my kids tell me they forgot to brush their teeth or this and that

@cynthia lawson thank you for all your reassurance words I appreciate it thank you again ❤️🫰
I have been struggling with this. I just got a Skylight calendar to help and it’s been great for my oldest and the rest of the house adults. We list chores, basic routine that needs to be done and it’s got our schedule on it too
The skylight calendar sounds perfect but you can also print out paper and laminate it as a cheaper option. A checklist would definitely be a better idea than you reminding them, and definitely take a step back, you also may want to start it on the same time, we start our bedtime routine as the sun starts going down.

yeah just treat them how you want to be treated also but yeah it’s n**ging & then it’s encouraging so you can try ways to encourage them rather than make them feel like they don’t know what to do (unintentionally) idk how old they are but yeah you’re doing good with that also the fear of losing your children….. no, you’re not you’re sister & if fear is leading your decision making then you’re already failing but you’re not a failure just acknowledge it, don’t be/feel ashamed & just allow clarity & peace to lead as well as speaking on the routine like i said good job🙌🏾 sounds like
