[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people just have good time management skills.

I do.  People always say "you always seem to have it so together" - it's because I know how to management my time and organize things well.

Some people are gifted at playing the piano and some people can hit a homerun.  I can organize ANYTHING.  That sounds like your friend.  Her life is together because she's makes it so.

I didn't think the issue was time management. I thought it was parenting know-how (or possibly a shade of know-it-all).

As an aside, I once marveled at a new acquaintance and (at the time) new mother's togetherness, only to be told that this was because she was "very organized". Later I came to understand that this meant she got other people to do amazing volumes of stuff for her, including having housekeeping help, extended-day daycare that allowed her a couple of hours to decompress/ take care of business  on her own at home after work every day, and a husband who runs around in circles doing almost everything other home- and family- related task. We could all be equally "organized" under such favorable circumstances!
