[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take it back. You are not like me at all. You do sound really controlling. I hadn't seen your post about the shirts and the lunches and then the unkempt hair?

I was talking about basic things like taking out the garbage or unloading the dishwasher or taking DD to the dentist.

Your DH may be lazy and selfish but you should know your demands are excessive. I get how with a child with special needs you want to control the environment to prevent meltdowns  but what you describe is really a lot and I can see how your DH would check out when you're really rigid about doing things your way.[/quote]

I get the feeling that her DH doesn’t do the basics like taking out the garbage or the dentist either. And things like crazy hair does matter - our kids struggle socially enough; they don’t also have to be the kids with messy hair.

OTOH it DOES sound like OP has some anxiety about avoiding any possible meltdown. Lunches made acceptably most of the time is OK. [/quote]

I said I let the unkempt hair go. I let all crazy outfits go as long as they are comfortable. At some point I feel worried  it might be a problem but it isn’t yet.

I am genuinely interested to hear you guys are fine with your husbands deciding that your kids should be fine with a no preferred food and packing that as their lunch even if it means they won’t eat it. Food is a huge constant struggle for us. If I’m not around and he feeds them little bites for lunch I don’t say anything. I just expect him to respect their food preferences at lunch when school lunch is really stressful for this kid. This to me is such an easy, bare minimum thing. [/quote]
