Some said there may be pesticide on the skin and so I usually remove it.

I peel off apple, pear and also grape skin because of pesticide sprayed on the fruits.

For grapes, I hv to rub off the white powder and this is a chore.

I got a white board with days/mth for DS. He will update daily & whenever there is any assignment so I’ve full view & award. I leave it to this young man to exercise his discipline & almost letting go (hopefully by next year). He’s on his own whilst DH & I outbof sight. Works well to give him more space to manage on his own. Then we’ll discuss the gaps when back.

For most kids, they should get the hang of it by sec school, or at least, parents should be able to gradually reduce the supervision. I just have 2 opposites. The older one is the one I am having to supervise fairly closely, but she is improving. The younger one has been pretty much handling things on her own since Pr school, although I keep a distant eye on things. Now she is halfway across the world, I really don't have any oversight. But we have confidence in her so we just leave her to it.

Took the morning off to make sure my older daughter finished an essay. It's not due yet, but she has 4 pieces of written work to complete, 2 presentations and 2 quizzes in the next 2 weeks! She is really bad at planning and disciplining herself to get things done - a real procrastinator, and very indecisive. She didn't have classes till late morning, and I'm away for the rest of the week, so I decided we needed to make the most of this morning. It's part of her learning disability, but it's a real pain. I'll be heading to the office after lunch.

:hugs: somehow could feel some of the frustrations there..after gone through the 1st quarter of the year with dd. Now she will try to tell me what hw she has for the day..but still way exceed the timing given..she will then tell me what extra things she done..always knocking on the door asking her what she is doing I feel it gives her unnecessary stress too..dont want to stress her but seeing revision not moving, that is quite stressful to me.

slmkhoo, your dd has done very well given some of her shortcomings..I believe she is trying her best too..

slmkhoo, my ds also procrastinates ... he waits till last minute or once forgotten his work & squeeze all the work/assignment essay together n do at one go .. few times was until late night
i did wonder does he have learning needs , as in my opinion he is bad in time management - seem like he take it for granted that time is on his side, bad planning and not v self disciplined OR teens syndrome - he commented some of his classmates sleep late most time to rush work :roll:

I usually store peeled or cut items for 1-2 days. In this way, I won't hv to clear the skin etc daily.

coz you are working full time..pre cut veg should be easier for you, at least what you cook for the day is freshly cooked..for me, if I cut more then I cook more and put in fridge.
