Granny's gone and done it again

Feels like my whole world is upside down. Pain is bad tonight. I keep forgetting or dont seem to have time to take my pills.. If Tom didnt bring me my regular meds I would forget them too. I have been telling the boys one rule then switching it to another. They get confused . Everything they were allowed to do at home and have been doing for yrs. they cant do here. I feel sorry for them.

At camp we do "cabin covenant" with the kids. They sit down and vote in the rules they follow as a group for that week. Counselors can suggest or veto as needed. Then they all sign it and keep each other accountable. A covenant is just a promise.

Get your rules decided, then tape then to the fridge and a few doors in the house. Reminders for everyone.

Great advice Camping
 
good idea Camp, I am saying them wrong for the most part. yesterday one started out and I said, you cant go out without letting me know. Today, I was on the phone and he says to his brother, let nana know I went out. No, thats not right, you have to ask if you can go out. Totally blew his little world.

Hugs, you are doing the best you can. This is temporary. You can do it. Kids are great at adapting to change. Just do one day at a time.
