In the 90 minutes between 5:30 and 7:00, one unclear handoff can turn a quiet evening into three separate crises.
This isnβt another bedtime routine guide. The goal is not a perfect bedtime β itβs a clean exchange with fewer decisions made while everyone is hungry, noisy, or tired.
What youβll get:
π The Handoff Window β Why the 5:30β7:00 p.m. block is the real battleground, not bedtime itself. What happens when one parent walks in the door and neither person knows whoβs on point.
π Where The Evening Slips β The three moments where most evenings go sideways: the front door arrival, the dinner-to-bath gap, and the βwhoβs putting them downβ decision. Youβll see exactly where your friction lives.
π Set The First Twenty Minutes Before You Leave β A practical framework for deciding who owns the first 20 minutes before the house gets busy. No charts. No apps. Just a short conversation that happens before anyone is tired.
What this fixes:
β’ Fewer arguments about who should be doing what
β’ Less drifting between work mode and parent mode
β’ A calmer start to bedtime that doesnβt depend on everything going perfectly
