[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP is anxious, because having a kid who is at risk of being counseled out of school will do that to a person. And OP is trying very, very hard to maintain her child's school placement by setting the child up for success with lunches and clothing. Yes, it seems like a hassle and controlling and neurotic, sure-- but it's nothing compared to the hassle of being counseled out, having to find a new school, and having the kids in separate schools from each other. So, team OP.[/quote]

Yeah, I agree. OP isn't freaking out over a potential tantrum because her kid will experience a feeling of upset. It's the cascade of other potential consequences, some that are big, and probably none of which will be dealt with by a DH doesn't take the time to remember the blue shirt and the grape jelly, ya know?

OP, I wouldn't have done this if we didn't already have substantial investments in both our names, but I left my job. I was like "I can't keep doing everything and working, and yet you still aren't stepping up enough. If we can't figure this out I'm quitting." He told me he was "embarrassed" I would be "stay at home" but I was like "well, since it's because of you I guess you should be" and that was it. Our marriage isn't great but it is peaceful now, and I still hand off specific tasks to him (like dishes, his laundry, car stuff, etc.). I do all of the SN stuff, and most of the stuff for our NT kid, too. It is not the life I wanted, but it's good for my kids. [/quote]
