My partner and I are about to move in together. We are both shift workers and he has two kids. My plan is to write on the calendar both of our shifts to help us keep track, but also when we have the kids as that changes depending on their school, his shifts and holidays.

I get very stressed with last minute changes while he’s very relaxed and doesn’t plan anything. We’ve agreed to write everything down on the calendar to help me manage. I have minor learning disabilities and mental health issues so I struggle with last minute changes although I am getting so much better as I am still undergoing counselling and reading various self help books.

Can anyone think of any other ways to help organise the general business of family life? Or even having your own house with bills and responsibilities?

Thank you 😊
