[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to take this thread in a different direction. But I have some sympathy with you nanny's 'disorganization' when it comes to healthcare. I come from a socialized healthcare system (European country), and I cannot believe how bureaucratic and nonsensical this system is. I'm organized in every other area of my life, but I keep falling down on the healthcare side of things - possibly due to denial / disbelief at how things work  :D

+1 but I’m 5th generation American, I have plenty of experience and organization in my areas of strength but some things cause a specific disconnect of engagement or I just glaze over involuntarily. I think it’s mostly denial, especially with healthcare, it’s hard to be proactive with the paperwork side but this thread is inspiring me to focus on those things. [/quote]

Op here. I suck at it too!! Seriously. I actually struggle with some of this admin stuff too. It’s hard. Like it really is. That’s why I try to help but I get too emotional/angry when she doesn’t listen. It’s hard seeing her make bad decisions. It’s crazy making when she then asks me to fix things. She’s got some really hard lessons ahead and she doesn’t grasp the severity (eg-ignoring debts, not having health insurance. She can’t get Medicaid because of her immigration situation but I think she earns too much to qualify for it anyway). [/quote]
