[quote=Anonymous]I understand OP’s frustration. It’s not about the jacket; it’s about the mental load of keeping track of what needs to be done, not just doing it when asked. If he didn’t have ti worry about any of this for 12 years, OP, good luck getting him to do so now. It will be an extremely difficult mindset shift. I do feel like people on DCUM judge moms and dads differently. If a mom was feeding her kids pizza several days a week & routinely forgetting her kids’ stuff, she’s called a bad mom. But if a dad does it, “it’s fine, it’s no big deal.” As for packing, my kids started packing around age 3-4. I made them picture lists until they were old enough to read, then a written list until they could figure it out more on their own. [/quote]
