[quote=Anonymous]"PP you've given me great advice in both your posts. I think I was (am) feeling overwhelmed myself and didn't know where to start. The idea of taking baby steps to get things going is a good one and hopefully will help with our "groundhog" day routine. Actually, we have a lot to do for Christmas (some friends coming for Xmas eve dinner) and I've been extra frustrated with things not getting done - probably more because I'm worried about how I'm going to get it all done myself and she said to me just last night to please remind her - one at a time - of what she needs to do THAT DAY and if I didn't mind breaking it down for her. Like, today, clean the bathrooms. tomorrow, go shopping for xmas eve dinner....that kind of thing. I secretly wondered if she read this thread and maybe took to heart some of the more thoughtful and helpful posts such as yours. Anyway, it made me realize that she's probably struggling just as much and is really trying. "

Did you ask her why she felt she needed you to remind her? Why wouldn't she just make a list, with you, of what needs to be done? I can't tell if this is depression, ADD or simple lack of competence.  Is she like this at the holidays every year?
