It's about the time i usually get up. A farm upbringing can leave lifelong scars eh?
Well, he's too tough for babysitters. Respite care is years away(waiting list, lots of hoops). I have money now, but it won't be forever; I thought about rehiring the therapist I lost, but that won't be sustainable. I can't buy a support network, and I've gathered his mental health team does not give a damn about any hardships I encounter.Based on my experience this morning asking ChatGPT technical questions I asked perplexity.ai. The answer shows to me that the question was not detailed enough and besides some of these are impossible and others you already know about:
Prompt:
A woman is married with several children who have medical/psychological issues. She sometimes does not get a night's sleep and misses meals etc because her children's problems are immediate and severe. How can she make her life easier or at least more tolerable?
Answer:
As a parent caring for children with medical and psychological issues, it's crucial to prioritize self-care while managing your children's needs. Here are some strategies to help make your life more manageable:
Establish a Support Network
Building a strong support system is essential:
- Reach out to family members, friends, or neighbors who can provide respite care
- Connect with other parents in similar situations through support groups or online communities
- Consider hiring a part-time caregiver or babysitter to give you regular breaks
Prioritize Self-Care
Taking care of yourself is not selfish; it's necessary to be an effective caregiver:
- Schedule regular "me time" for activities you enjoy
- Make sleep a priority by establishing a consistent bedtime routine
- Ensure you're eating regular, nutritious meals
Develop Coping Strategies
Implement techniques to manage stress and maintain your mental health:
- Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation
- Engage in regular physical activity, even if it's just a short walk
- Consider seeking counseling or therapy for yourself to process your emotions and learn coping skills
Organize and Streamline
Improving organization can help reduce stress and save time:
- Create a family calendar to track appointments and responsibilities
- Develop routines for daily tasks like meals, medications, and bedtime
- Use technology or apps to help manage schedules and reminders.
Seek Professional Help
Don't hesitate to ask for professional assistance:
- Work closely with your children's healthcare providers to optimize treatment plans
- Explore respite care options through local social services or healthcare organizations
- Look into home health services that may be available to assist with medical car.
Advocate for Your Needs
Remember that your well-being is important too:
By implementing these strategies, you can create a more balanced and sustainable caregiving environment. Remember, taking care of yourself is not just beneficial for you, but also for your children who rely on your care and support.
- Communicate openly with your partner about sharing responsibilities
- Be honest with healthcare providers about your struggles and ask for resources
- Look into local or national organizations that offer support for families in similar situations.

This is probably my best option:
But until Everclear buys me a new life, I'll settle with the top hat.

It is indeed.Is it immoral to beat up @Revoltingest for his lunch money?
I love that song. Incidentally, my wife and I were quite poor when we got together, and I bought her everything he promises in the song.Well, he's too tough for babysitters.
