Morning routine / chore trouble

[little locket]

Hi's, I need some advice from any caregivers and littles who lives together. 

I moved in with my Daddy 3 weeks ago, it's been amazing, but I finding it hard to break out of old routines. I'm an early bird and soo used to getting up and doing loads of chores while getting my kid ready for school run, Daddy is not a morning person but keeps getting upset I've done all chores first things in morning. He keeps telling to slow down and relax and leave big things for him to do, says I don't have to do everything all by myself any more. 🫣 but I'm soo used to it I don't know how not to an early bird person. 

Anyone haves any advice?

It's difficult to change who you are and how you do things, especially if you're set in a routine that works for you.

If you're happy doing it, then just explain that to him. He should be understanding that it's just who you are as a person.

You can still get up early and do some chores but you could also take a walk or something that not really work like baking or something

it’s tough to break old habits. and trusting and depending daddy to do things. 

try to change one little thing in your routine and look how it goes and how it feels.

Keep doing what makes you happy, and what works for you. If it bothers him, he will / should know how to retrain you in a mutually satisfying way.

Why don't you try doing the most important chores -like getting the kids ready- and then just relax and do some little activities like coloring, or maybe pick up a hobby? 

But also, if you feel like you can't change that part of yourself, you should totally talk to your daddy about it. Yeah, it sounds weird, but you can still be a little that likes providing service & care! Think about it as a child making breakfast for their parents and making a huge mess - it's still made with love!

I understand that, i still wake up at 6am like clockwork and get things started. I don't need to anymore as my routine and life are different but it's who i am.

Maybe ask your Daddy for a list of chores you can do before he wakes up and make a cute check list so after you do one you check it off and once all boxes are filled you get something little to distract you like colouring time, an episode of cartoons, arts and crafts time. Just something that is a reward for when you're done to stop you from doing everything. 

I also understand the setup as my little is a night person while I'm morning, so we have an arrangement that i do everything early then during the day its a team effort then at night when my body slows down she does that bit extra. 

Maybe a system like that, you start the day and your daddy ends it.
