A friend of mine follows a routine from some book..... but my opinion, she is WAY too strict with it. She follows it TO THE MINUTE.
She'll set her watch...... 2:05pm....BEEP BEEP... time for a drink of water. 3:14pm... BEEP BEEP.. time for a sleep. 4:45pm...BEEP BEEP... time to play...
you get the idea....
She has totally ristricted her life. She hardly leaves the house because she doesnt want to stray from the routine. She has never allowed him to sleep ANYWHERE but his cot, so on the rare occasion she goes out she will all of a sudden RUSH around in a mad panic to get him in the car, and get him home before 3:14, or whatever time nap time is.
She's made her life so difficult. I hate it. Sometimes she is miserable. I feel so bad for her.
She's turned having a baby into a chore instead of a joy. =(
