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:
  • 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.
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.
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.

This is probably my best option:


But until Everclear buys me a new life, I'll settle with the top hat.

I was going to get fitted today, but it seems the store has moved.

The lyrics to that great song:

Lyrics

This song goes out to all those cute ****ing dogs
If you have a cute dog, kiss em on the lips
Walking down the street, I see a fluffy dog
Holy ****, I wanna pet that dog
I'll pet any dog, I don't care what kind
Fat, skinny, stinky, I don't mind
Hey buddy
I wanna pet your dog
Please buddy
I wanna pet your dog
I always give them treats, I'm always packin' bones
You can call me Dog Pettin' Jones
I'm gonna blow my brains out, the blood is on your hands
Are paws really feet or are they hands?
Head scratches, belly rubs and smooches
I ****ing love all of your pooches
Hey buddy
I wanna pet your dog
Please buddy
I wanna pet your dog

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.

She let me stay the night.
