Reschedule one's timing
Hi
Would you say that the phrase reschedule one' timing would work at all?
Is this dialogue natural? Please edit it where required.
[Husband and wife]
A - Sorry dear, but I really can't come. Too many commitments for the coming week.
B- Can't you reschedule your timings for those commitments and take out only two hours for your family?
Thanks,
Tom
PS: I am aware that the use of "at all" like this is very Indian. Would it grate on native ears?

Mr. TomPS: I am aware that the use of "at all" like this is very Indian.I disagree. I consider the phrase at all part of "universal English" (if there is such a thing).

Hi Tom,
If you want to use "at all" in your sentence, then you can rewrite it like this:
A - Sorry dear, but I really can't come. I have too many commitments for the coming week.
B- Can't you reschedule any of those commitments at all, for at least two hours for your family?
