I am the queen of daily schedules. I have PTSD and the more routine things are for me the better off I am.
When my daughter started school this fall I redid the schedule and I did it in writing. I shared this with my husband so he kind of knew what changes I would need.
I don't think mine is too strict. It has kind of sloppy time frames like between noon and around one as some guidelines. So dinner is listed at between six and seven thirty. Lexi in bed by 9 is one of my more defined ones. Alarm set for this time and so on. I post it on the frig door. To some degree it has to be flexable. If there is an evening event to work in, or a party at school, etc. Just some thoughts from a half crazy pregnant mom of one.

My 8 yr old son is on a strict schedule. Wake up 630 off to school at 7, his school serves breakfast at school in the classroom didn't want you to think that I don't feed him lol. Home at 3 dinner at 5 then homework, bath and brush teeth at 7, he takes his meds at 730 then depending on his behavior depends on his tv time. If his behavior is on que then he can have tv til 9 but at 9 he is in his bed no tv. Schedule and structure are key.

We have a schedule. I dont consider it overly strict but learning many don't have one. My work schedule changes so we get up between 545 to 645am depending on day and their schedule. We do no games and very little tv during week. TV is just of homework done and I am making dinner. My kids go to bed early by 8p. They do homework as soon. As we get home except youngest is struggling and due to her disability we break hers up. We eat usually around 5. I don't know works for us.
