[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of this crap can be eliminated. You’re doing this to yourself. Your kids don’t need to be in constant camps or enrolled in multiple activities at once. They don’t need birthday parties beyond a cake at home. Stop doing silly extraneous stuff, learn how to say no sometimes, and chill out. [/quote]

Huh.  So my child doesn't need chilcare in the summer! Imagine that.  I guess we don't need to pay our mortgage, go to the dentist, clean the gutters, schedule the house cleaners, open a 529, rotate summer and winter clothes, attend school academic meetings, see family .... and as for the birthday party, who is going to at least send out invitations to the party and get the cake?

-You find it hard to schedule childcare? Are you s new mom?

-Mortgage is on automatic payment-try it, it involves no thinking

-Dentist is 2xs a year. You can schedule your next appointment at your last. 5min of effort. Done

-Gutter cleaning? You do this yourself? Weird and dangerous.

-Why are you scheduling house cleaners? Get with a service that will come to your house the same time each week. Done. YOU ARE CAUSING MORE WORK FOR YOURSELF ON THIS ONE.

-Opening a 529? That's a one time thing per child. Not a daily task. You are stressed about something you did in the past one time? Move on. Dont marinate on a task you did once.

-Rotate clothes, How much garbage do your kids have? This is a struggle? Get yourself a box, put winterr clothes in it and close it. Done.

-How many meeting a month does your kid need? You do have problems in that area. Seek more help for that.

-Evite, google it.

If you handle these very basic tasks that even a teenager can do, assign them to your husband. What I think is actually going on here is you are a dream queen and martyr and you just want to whine about the grrst burdensome struggle of oral hygiene.[/quote]
