@sarnicad I would strongly suggest that 17yo idiot lives with his mistakes. Not having someone run things in to him will soon make him remember. It's those sorts of things that I found was the "too much" during chemo. And little things such as, if your uniform isn't in the wash, it won't be washed (and if you do it yourself later, don't expect me to stress about it getting dry). Perhaps warn the family first, though.
Ooh...it does remind me of when my son was about 7 or 8. He forgot his lunch one day and I, sort of, took pity on him. I rang the town deli (they did the school lunches) and asked if they could send him some bread and butter just so he wouldn't starve. They sent him in a sandwich with lettuce and a note "Lettuce not forget lunch next time". He wasn't particularly amused but funnily enough, never forgot his lunch again!5 -
I have to get my body clock back to normal before I go back to work in few weeks. It doesn't seem to matter whether I give in and go to bed at 9pm or struggle to stay awake until later - I still wake up around 4am (or earlier if I have bad dreams or night sweats).0

@Sister I’m still struggling with my body clock 3 months out - sux!!0

Well my nightmare holiday continues. It seems that despite the flesh eating feral pigs I did eventually catch that train because I've just dreamed about checking into my hotel. But instead of getting a lovely room, I was put in a hospital room. Cancer much?!1

@Sister if it had been his tie i’d have said bad luck and emailed his teacher and year coordinator but his shirt was a bit different. This is my high functioning autism boy so I do probably accomodate him a bit more than his siblings particularly when he is stressing about things which he was yesterday as the run he was doing was a time trial for the cross country team for school and he was obsessing over that! Plus he is a rule follower at school and they’d been revved at an assembly the day before about uniform and presentation (shaving etc) it would have caused a full fledged melt down and then home bears the full force of that. Nothing like an emotional angry 6 foot 3 bundle of boy. I just want an easy life!
nice sleep last night so hopefully today won’t be too bad1 -
@Sister we try that but sometimes the emotional trigger is not very far away! Interestingly last night when he wanted money for a movie today and we said we will put it in your bank account and he couldn’t find his bank card he suddenly became highly motivated to find it and found his 2(yes he has to have 2 cause he loses them all the time) myki cards so I finally have my one back and he found his atm card as well. Miracles do happen!
seriously this is the child that the sooner the govt moves to alternate technology for paying public transport fees the better he would play find your myki at least once a week. We actually have a leaving the house checklist just for him - do you have your phone, keys, myki, laptop, (fill in the need of the day). Drives me batty but sometimes it is the only way to make it work. He can be so rigid in so many things. He has an order to get dressed in which was probably his order(social story) since prep and he can not deviate so if the item he needs to put on is not ready the whole production stops. So say it is jocks, shorts/pants, shirt, tie etc. if his shorts are still in the dryer then he can’t get dressed, he can’t just put his shirt on like anyone else would and get his socks on and then brush teeth nope he just stops dead. Extremely frustrating1
