Why I anti putting my baby in any routine

Question

Ignoring the fact that some people say you can't put a baby on a schedule until they are at a certain age, here is why I haven't tried a schedule
1. I know I would never be able to put baby to sleep or feed them at exactly the same time every single day. Damn am a human and not all my days are the same. Some days I won't be able to keep the schedule. 
2. Even if I managed to follow my routine to the dot, I do need baby sitters some days and none would follow my "rules" in my absence. Gash I have trouble getting them to handle baby as I wish in my presence. 
3. Those growth spurts, mental leaps and stomach aches know no damn routine. 
So can someone tell me why I should stress about keeping a routine which will be thrown out the window anyway and have me start afresh? Can someone who has a routine honestly tell me they are able to do the same things with baby every single day with no hardship?
UPDATE: 
Thanks everyone for commenting and helping me see the use of a routine. Such a relief to know if I am late by a 30 minutes it is still a routine. One question: at what age do I start a routine to have it work? My baby is 6 weeks.

Answer

Well first, if the people you have watching your child or children will not fallow your requests then you should definitely find a different babysitter.
A schedule or routine isn't as hard as it sounds, your child eats at a certain time say 6:00 they don't eat until 6:30 no big deal, they take a bath at 7:30 but don't get a bath until 8:15 no problem they go to bed at 9:00 but don't get into bed until 9:15-9:30 not bad it's still a routine.
Getting a child on a schedule will teach them they don't have control in what they do. As the parents you should have say in how late they're staying awake at night depending on their age. You don't want a 3 year old staying up until 11:00 at night and sleeping in until noon.
It helps them learn self control and balance in life.
I understand that you may be off schedule some days but you still have a routine whether or not it's on time every day.
You should at least try and have a feeding schedule for a child of any age (1years old - teens) you shouldn't allow your children to constantly eat or eat whatever whenever that is extremely unhealthy and can cause a child to gain too much weight. I get a child have some "extra weight" can be cute but it can also be extremely unhealthy.
I'm not telling you how to parent your child or telling anybody else how to parent their child just stating my opinion.
If you cannot keep up with a routine then don't try to, just do what you can keep up with.
Hope this helps

Do what works for you, but routines do not need to be difficult to introduce - and they can be flexible to a certain degree. Babies feel safe and secure when there is some sense of predictability from day to day. And I’ve personally found that routine helps get us through the growth spurts and leaps. When my baby was young I felt overwhelmed by the idea of setting a routine. I had no idea what I was doing - which is normal as a first time mom. But once we introduced a bedtime routine (starting at 7: bath, book, bottle, bed) everything else (naps, feeding, etc) fell into place.

Answer

Routines for babies and children have so many benefits to them. Partly because they know what to expect and putting them down for naps and bedtime generally at the same times prevents over-tiredness. I’m all about routine and my first two babies were put on a great schedule once they reached a certain age. My son on the other hand is extremely unpredictable and always has been so it’s hard to get him on a schedule even at 9 months old. I still follow a routine/schedule—although fairly flexible—for him and I do tend to put him to bed at the same time every night and generally wake up the same time in the morning. If something throws off the schedule or routine, I just go with the flow. No sense worrying over a schedule or routine anymore for me... this third baby has completely mellowed me out when it comes to stuff like this. 😂

Answer

A routine is not a time schedule. My sons bedtime depends on his sleep cues. Once I notice the eye rubbing and irritability, I start winding him down for bedtime. If it’s bath day, we take a bath and I let him play as long as he’d like. Then we go to his room and do lotion, diaper, pjs. I sit with him and read a book. Then we turn all the lights off and eat. I put him in bed awake but drowsy and he falls asleep. 
Babies don’t know time, they just notice patterns in things. Yeah he won’t always be asleep by 9pm, but he still understands his bedtime. We’ve had nights where we’re out late and I still come home and do the same routine.

Answer

I never really had a routine with my son. We just went with the flow, followed him. He sleeps when he is tired. It worked great for us. Eventually they'll have a routine that works for them. I don't remember exactly when my son started to have predictable routines, but now he's two and he wakes up around 9-10, takes a three hour nap during the day and goes to bed by nine. He's always been a great sleeper. We have however always had a routine for when we notice/know he's getting tired so he always knows what's coming.

Answer

I don’t think it’s about always doing everything dead on the same time everyday just roughly around that time 🤷‍♀️ I don’t have a strict routine for my little one time wise but he knows what order things happen in during the day and bed time is the only thing I stick too like you said every day is different so don’t stress about a routine we all like to say we have one but I guarantee the time you did it the day before won’t be the same time today 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I started a routine as soon as she was born,b she never had and sleep regression crap that everyone talks about. She has always been a good sleeper and has slept all night since birth and she is almost 11 years old.

Answer

I’ve had the same bedtime routine since we came home from the hospital. Daytime has adjusted as my daughter got older. It’s what works for me and my family. My daughter is 15 months old and has been sleeping 10-12 hrs through the night since about 8 months old. Which I need bc I need sleep too (I’m 37 weeks). I’ve got her down to one nap a day and she came to me today and said rest 🥰

Answer

I’ve had the same routine with my child from birth and they are 3 now. It’s honestly not that hard. Their daycare also has the same routine. Routines are great for babies and children. We get up at a certain time, I go to work and so does my husband, they have daycare and activities every day, and at home we have a routine. Nothing hardly changes. 
All of my friends who are parents also have a routine because it makes life easier. I love routine and so does my child.
