[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WOW. 
Your kids are so independent.
There is no way my 5th grader would be able to get up, dress, eat, pack lunch and go to school by himself.
I didn't do that at his age either, so I don't expect it of him.

We both have inattentive ADHD, but come on. There must be *some* neurotypical middle schoolers who don't do it all in the morning either :-)[/quote]

Well, clothes are picked out the night before, and lunch is made the night before. Sometimes the kids will lay out as much as they can for breakfast after I've closed the kitchen following dinner. So if they're going to make scrambled eggs, they lay out the forks, the frying pan, spatula, plate, etc. The girls will also work together - one may make breakfast for both while the other stands behind her doing her hair. (Not the most hygienic thing, but if they don't care I'm not going to care)[/quote]

Do they have to be reminded to do #2?  That drives me crazy when at the last second they need to make a rush for the bathroom.[/quote]

I'm not reminding them of anything. If they forget something, then they'll have to deal with it whether it's skipping lunch or forgetting to do their hair or whatever. [/quote]
