[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sort of think you may be expecting too much from your mom. Has she always been a bit scattered or disorganized? Maybe she didn't have you in quite so many activities.

Anyway, I'm a single parent and it is really hard to find reliable help to transport kids to activities. I had a friend who contracted a cab company to make it a regular run. Is there another parent who could transport them? I think even if mom is helping out, it is on you to have the bag packed and ready to go. Maybe you could freeze the water bottle and leave the items in the car in the morning, with the thought that it will melt by afterschool.  [/quote]

Well it's her car left at her house that she uses. I do a lot of this stuff but she often runs late even if I ask her to pick up the kids 15 minutes early she's there 25 minutes late and will say traffic but really t's the same run she always does. Unfortunately also our life is not clockwork and so it's not always routine. Basketball practice is only on Tuesdays but then it gets cancelled and moved. The therapist has an opening on Wednesday. One of the kids hurt themselves in gym class. Typical stuff why often there is a stay at home mom. It's just the lies that are hard to deal with. The rest I understand is a part of life. But cognitive decline seems to encourage this sort of behavior both by accident and on purpose.[/quote]
