Making plans question

[millah_22]

If you make plans with your spouse and give a time frame, for example: “Let’s plan to leave between 8 and 8:30.”

Do you expect to leave closer to 8 or closer to 8:30? Which side of the timeframe does your S/O or people close to you fall under?

If we need to leave between 8-8:30 I tell my wife we need to leave by 7:30. It took about 3 years to figure this out and has greatly helped my blood pressure.

Pre kids, that meant 815ish. With a child, if you are out the door by 830 you won.

In this scenario, 7:30 is when I crack open a beer. There's usually time for one after that too.

This, exactly! My no pic wife and I are exact opposite on being on time. Now that she has her own business, she’s gotten better, but still operates on island time.

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

Used to be we left when we planned to. Now with young kids, we (a) don't make many plans and (b) have an aspirational time to leave that we all know is bullshit and consider it win if we leave an hour after that.

 

[OrlandNole]

If we agree between 8 and 8:30, I expect to leave at some point between 8 and 8:30. If I expect to leave closer to 8, we'll agree on 8 to 8:15.

 

[millah_22]

Rn we agreed to 8-8:30 and at 8:05 she got in the shower.

 

[95Hawk]

lol at you guys who are still married














(I suffer from crippling loneliness and use humor to deflect sometimes)

Pics of wife dilly dallying in the shower?

Aspirational is a good description.

If I say “we need to leave by 8:30” that’s because we actually need to leave by 9 at the latest

 

[sabula]

My wife will totally be ready to go and out of the house by 8:45. Then gripe because we didn't get there in time.

[Finance85]

I had to figure this out with my (no pic) girlfriend. If I just give a time, it's considered a ballpark suggestion. If we have a firm departure time, I have to say it's a firm departure time.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

I try to just set a time and if we’re within 5 min of that time when we leave I am surprised.

My wife’s lack of timeliness drives me nuts. It doesn’t take her that much time to get ready, she just starts way too late. Been an issue for 30 years.

Between that and our driving arguments, I am surprised we are still married, tbh.

 

[ZachJump]

Sadly, that means we will probably be in the car by 7:30

This. Mrs. Tradition is always early.

FIFY

This. Better than being late. But my wife will show up to an event half an hour early when they're still setting up.

 

[lucas80]

Is this a safe thread where those of us married to super organized spouses can talk about being in a fragile place today as OSU mopped up the field with the Hawkeyes as my super organized wife started checking on how I’d packed for our upcoming trip to Oregon, and “asked”, if I had room for items to put in my suitcase?

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Yeah, I’m glad I don’t have a high maintenance wife like so many of you apparently do. She’s naturally pretty and doesn’t need to spend much time getting ready. If we set a time, we’re both ready to go at least 10 mins before set time. My teenage kids on the other hand are always late, so we usually tell them to be ready 15 mins before we need to actually leave.

 

[SolarHawk]

My wife is punctual. It’s a pet peeve of both of ours when people are late.

This again. 8-8:30 means by 8.

 

[BelemNole]

8:37, then brag about being on time this time.

 

[fredjr82]

I finally just started saying "car is leaving at so and so time. If you want to ride with us be ready then, if not you'll have to drive yourself or not attend". It can't be an empty threat, so when the time comes you leave. You gave her two options and she chose the latter two options.

 

[JMNSHO]

I would expect to be sitting in the car with the kids at about 8:15 with plenty time to wait to see her about 15 minutes later take the kitchen garbage out and announce “I’ve just got to scoop the litter box” before disappearing back inside for another 15 minutes or so.

Generalizations are fun and simple. Now do black people.

They live by the wish factor.

I wish a mother f$cker would.

 

[ping72]

It means I want to leave at 8:00, but we can prob be on time as long as we leave by 8:30.

I wish all MAGATS would eat a bullet, is that what you mean?

Can we put the ones that both sides in the front of the line?

I was referring to this though.

Hell yes! I’d like to watch the vid, but apparently I have to sign in so they know I’m not a bot. WTF is that all about? I’ve never had that issue before.

We like that about her, too. Punctual, but never in a rush.

 

[lucas80]

I’ve been waiting for 15 minutes for the wife to put in one misbehaving earring before we can go to dinner.
30 years together has taught me to not say a word, just post about it to strangers. God forbid we just go without the earrings. I would suggest she try swearing at them, but she’s tried that already.

Sorry broski, knocked her earring lose last week banging her in the stank. Said it would be difficult to put back in.
