In the context of you both tracking your agreement of when your DD for example asks if you can take GS to preschool, mark it up - "OH morning school run", amend it if plans change, "DD please can you mark that up for me so I don't forget' - my personal experience is seeing it in writing can help focus a way of working together,
Yes, I see, thank you for explaining further. We have a two-month write on/wipe off planner on the kitchen wall that worked great while we were having family meetings. You asked if I thought it would be helpful and I do think it would be helpful. Getting my daughter on board is another thing entirely.
though I appreciate when you say you tune her out because she talks incessantly, it's rarely a short interaction, it's exhausting... .hurl in some personal insults you're reeling.
Thanks, it's really overwhelming trying to keep up with her minute-by-minute changes.
Glad you're chilling, taking time out with your friend.
It was really nice hanging out watching Wentworth with her. I've watched all seasons at least once and she's going through for the first time. It was strange how "long" an episode seemed to last. By not focusing on my troubles/my daughter/trying to control everything, time slowed down. When I'm in the midst of chaos, time flies by.
My therapy appointment is at 3 today. In the past, our time together has been about how I can better relate and support my daughter. My friend and I talked about how my mental health must come first and by focusing on my daughter I'm avoiding the hard work of improving myself. Today, I hope to give a brief recap (10 minutes) of what's happening at home and then reserve the remaining time for working on myself. I'm sure it will feel like two hours
