[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 309537, member: 3444"] Having to pack medications for the difficult child's if we're going on an outing and deciding whether its' difficult child 1 or difficult child 2 or both who will be affected by the timing of our trip, and then having to remember to GIVE them their medications while we are out. Or having to turn around and go back home for medications we've forgotten, knowing that if we choose to just skip it, the consequences will not be pretty. Having to plan evening social events at my home around difficult child's who don't do well if they don't get to bed on time. Having to turn my house into a "morgue" at homework time every afternoon because the tolerance for distractions here is nil. Plus having to stay within earshort or sight to ensure difficult child 2 stays on task the whole time. Having to handle the mountains of medical, insurance, and school paperwork because of my family's myriad mental, phsyical, and academic issues. I feel like I spend my life sorting, filing and shredding paper. Having my home in a constant state of chaos as the trade-off for not being a screaming witch because my family seems unable to pick up after themselves. Those are some of the signs. It's nice that we can come here and know that our version of normal is pretty close to everyone else's here! [/QUOTE]
