[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 455534, member: 3444"] Trinity, that's exactly husband and both the difficult child's to varying degrees. easy child and I tend to do one thing at a time, though I can switch to multitasking fairly easily. I think my internal clock is better than husband's for this type of activity, because he often starts something, goes on to another task, then completely forgets how long he's been away from the first one and ends up over cooking, over filling, etc. He also doesn't do well with supervising children while doing multiple tasks, and perhaps that speaks to his auditory processing problems. I'm able to listen to what's going on downstairs while I'm ironing and watching TV upstairs and simultaneously assess whether children are fighting or about to begin a fight, are getting into something in the kitchen, have gone outside, etc. And then I can holler down some instruction or redirection and listen for the response without burning any garments (though I might miss some of what's going on in the program I'm watching). I also find I can't start mundane tasks unless there's background noise like the TV or music going on :) [/QUOTE]
