[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 128428, member: 3072"] Slow down? What does that mean?:laughing2: I understand the hard part about getting the kids to help with chores....I'm really bad at this one and in the past, with all we've had to deal with with difficult child, I just never had the energy to get the kids started with helping out a whole lot. They do get their own clothes to the hamper and they take their dirty dishes to the sink(but we have to always remind them) and they're a little better at cleaning their rooms once in a while. I've just started having the girls (ages 14 1/2 and 8) to fold their own laundry. difficult child has limited use of her left arm and hand so its always been a struggle to get her to compensate because she's not one to be very independent. We're also working with the three older ones to get their own breakfast....within reason and again, to clean up after themselves. Its not much so far but its a start anyway. About what I do to slow down. After the kids are in bed, I watch tv. Thats about all I have energy for in the evenings:laughing2: We've also planted some flowers in the basement that we'll eventually move outside in late spring...if they do well. Seeing the seeds start sprouting is always exciting for me. I know, I have no life:laughing2: [/QUOTE]
