Your support makes all the difference.Former Bachelor star Caila Quinn has drawn criticism over the detailed schedule she made for her husband’s morning with their children.
The 32-year-old influencer – who was a contestant on season 20 of The Bachelor – recently shared a screenshot of her family’s Sunday plans on her Instagram Story. Quinn and her husband, Nick Burrello, tied the knot in 2020 and later welcomed their two children: Teddi, one, and Christian, two months.
In the since-expired Instagram Story, which has been reposted on The Bachelor Reddit forum, Quinn posted a note from her iPhone that read: “Sunday Morning Schedule.” The plans began with her leaving the house at 6am, before she picked up some cookies at 6:30am.
Her morning continued with feeding her children and getting them both ready and dressed at 7:00am. She then penciled her husband into the schedule, writing at 7:30am: “Nick wakes up and showers (please).” Afterward, it was Quinn’s “turn to get ready” at 8am and buckle her children “into the car” by 8:30am. The family was scheduled to leave the house at 8:45am in order to meet Santa Claus at 9:15am.
“Lol this is what I text Nick the night before a busy day with kids,” she wrote in the caption.
However, some people have criticized Quinn over the detailed weekend plan. In a popular TikTok video, Tess Higgins claimed the schedule was actually “embarrassing” for the couple, saying: “If you ever catch me making a schedule like this for my man, please come slap me.”
Higgins questioned if Burello was waking up “a whole two hours” later than his partner, given the fact that she was already out of the house by six in the morning. She also joked about Quinn scheduling her husband’s shower, sarcastically adding: “If I ever have to tell my husband to please shower, God forbid, oh my God.”
She continued: “How about he’s an equal participant in this family outing and knows just as much as you do?
“It’s giving weaponized incompetence. It’s giving her husband being like, ‘Well if you don’t want to tell me exactly what time. I’m going to screw everything up.’ Do you think that man would ever say that at his job to his boss?”
While the TikToker suggested Quinn may be perfectly fine with making a schedule for her husband, she questioned why the former reality star was posting it online. “Because now we all know that your husband needs to be reminded to shower, good God,” Higgins concluded.
In the comments section, many people agreed with Higgins’s take and questioned Quinn for posting the schedule on the internet.
“May this love never find me,” one person wrote, while another added: “Omg the ick, I could never imagine doing this for my husband.”
“That’s so embarrassing she actually posted it online too,” a third person wrote.
A fourth person commented: “Oh she carried ALL the mental load…..”
The Independent has contacted a representative for Quinn for comment.
