I used to care for children with 'Special Needs' in school before I stopped to look after Brylee and Griffin. I am VERY used to IEP's too..but not as the mother. I still think I will be fine ...

I keep telling my kiddos I'm not always going to be here to clean up after you, and your wife or husband may not either if you decide to get married.

This wasn't one of Daniel's things (if anything he's too hands off), but I staffed a camp with a young man (older teen) with Asperger's who hugged people so much that he upset them. I learned quickly to put a hand out and say, "You've already hugged me today. It was great, but I'm full up." He'd beam and move on. <br /><br />Household chores are an integral part of my kids' days beginning at around age five With the teenagers I'm merciless--they can clean the house as well as I can. I refused to raise another generation of men who thought household chores were women's work. Adore my husband I do, but this is what he came out of (we've had to do a lot of reprogramming--he is now a great cook and happy to push a broom, which frees me to do the yard work, which he hates). My standard statement is, "The fact that I was born a girl does not mean that I was automatically deemed slave labor. Nor does your being a man endow you with the right to make messes and expect others to pick them up." (I'm aware that there's a life lesson hidden that statement).Mary O.

I used something similair with my son the baby lover hehehe. <br /><br />Those life skills just might make your work a little easier too. <br />I know I worked on them with my boys. I figured they would need them, since they were so hard headed, no woman would put up with them. ;-)Working Throughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772908707653521198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-52914381010815645442010-01-18T03:44:34.967-06:002010-01-18T03:44:34.967-06:00Good job on the dishes and learning about space bu...Good job on the dishes and learning about space bubbles!
