[quote=Anonymous]I think you need more clarity on exactly what you're expecting him to remember versus what you're remembering for him. He needs to know what he's responsible for, and have a plan for those responsibilities. Pick just a few things for him and build it up gradually. Ambiguity about who is responsible for what is only going to lead to problems. Read That Crumpled Paper Was Due Last Week-- it's an oldie but a goodie-- and try to get him to see that life will be so much easier and he will have MORE free time if he gets a handle on organizational skills. It sounds like you have way too much on your plate and should consider what you can remove. Figure out something your husband can "own" and make him own it-- choose carefully something where you're willing to let him drop the ball. And your son also has more than he can handle, and you should consider what you can eliminate from his life. Can he take a half credit class in the summer, for example? [/quote]
