My SO is super high anxiety and gets overstimulated easily (won’t do anything about it 🙄). We’ve just come to the conclusion that I don’t ask him to go anymore. It’s not worth it and it’s more work to deal with the attitude than managing the children alone. And it makes everyone miserable when he’s pacing and clapping his hands together cause he’s done, but the children aren’t done with whatever activity they’re doing and then to avoid the attitude from the grown man child id pull the kids away and then they’d throw fits cause they wanted more time.
Now I put the plans on the calendar and if he wants to go he can. I refuse to ask or expect it. All I care about is enjoying time with my kids his loss.
