[QUOTE="Nancy423, post: 236757, member: 6118"] depends on the difficult child if it's too much I guess. I can't take BOTH kids out anywhere!! My difficult child is fine by herself and usually will pitch in because she'll be bored otherwise. But boy, throw easy child in there and they just bounce off the walls and get destructive. If there is ANY possibility to do what I need ALONE, I will try. I don't like to bring the kids with me, even for 20 minutes. But if I have to - constant supervision is [I]necessary[/I]. As for your difficult child, I would go with the suggestion of having her help you, but not assigning a certain duty to be done by herself. Yes, it'll slow you down, and yes, you might still be doing all the chores yourself - but maybe you won't have to spend time searching if she takes off. [/QUOTE]
