[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m with 20:22. Lists are your friend. It saves arguing and getting mad on all sides. Kid & DH don’t get upset at a list but do if it’s me ‘nagging’ or shouting, and I loathe being in the latter position as well.

For DS, there is no medication that doesn’t come with disastrous side effects; so he is unmedicated. During the week, his big task is to check in with teachers frequently for test dates/assignments. I make him turn in rough essays at least 2 days ahead of their due date for feedback. (He’s in an IB program where grading is harsh & many of his teachers refuse to use managebac). Fri PM, he must draft a weekend checklist, showing me exactly when/what he needs to do. No chores; school (incl community service) has my kid at the limit of his capacity right now.

DH keeps a checklist on his phone, incl household chores, and all three of our calendars are linked, so we have automatic visibility into what’s going on for each of us. I have visibility to DH’s checklist and can add to it or highlight items that need to be done sooner.

All of this means that I definitely do most of the organizational heavy lifting, which I don’t mind IF I get cooperation from DH & DS. [/quote]

So how did you get husband / child on board with this? I feel like if I had the calendar only I would check it/keep up with it because DH would forget.[/quote]
