I really try hard to instill this in my kids. DD14 is pretty sensible though has the occasional lapse but DS (almost 13) I could seriously get sectioned for having a mental breakdown. He wanders through life with his head in the clouds. I'm sick of constantly repeating myself for the simple things and when the serious stuff happens, he's a gormless dough ball.
I treat them both the same, get them to do the same household chores, talk things through trying to get them to think of solutions to stuff but the lack of logical though drives me insane. I'm not holding out much hope if my DH is anything to go by.
Help!!!! Even if it's just to hold my hand and tell me it'll all be fine in the end.
