[QUOTE="SRL, post: 260714, member: 701"] One of the things that has helped me cope is to accept that I can't accomplish all things that I'd hoped but that others may be able to. For instance, in order to survive around here chores have always been basket C. Normal picking up of clothes, taking dishes to the sink, etc. came later than it would have and extra family jobs just don't happen at all. I used to really fret over it knowing there's a gap but then have come to realize that my child is coming through on the school front in organization, upkeep, etc. Peer pressure and other adults have been able to make this happen out in the real world, even though I haven't been able to at home. It's not how I'd like it, but I have mostly peace with it. [/QUOTE]
