[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] It's not the kid who can't do it. It's thr parents who don't teach their kids how to do for themselves. They are not infants. They are actually pretty smart and capable. I get it, some people enjoy doing these things, heck, I worked with a guy who was 24 and his mom still did his laundry. However, believe it or not, it makes them proud to be mature and do things for themselves. [/quote]
