The Kitchen > I feel like I do it all. But I think I do it best!

I complain I don’t get any help around the house, especially from my husband (but can’t kids make their beds and do chores the way I did?) but then when he does do something I have to go in and redo it. Like the dishes, which he doesn’t ever clean properly before putting them away… pots still have grease all over them! Or the kids, which when left to him, always eat at McDonalds. I want him to make them a healthy meal! Why is it that I feel like I am the only one who does things right?

This is the perfectionist in you. Every now and then, you can let it go or not care if they eat in a fast food joint. It’s normal that you want them to shampoo twice and get all the conditioner out of their hair, but will it kill them to have a little suds in their scalp when they go to bed? It may be itchy but then that will teach them to do it right next time. You have to “let” others fail or you will fail by over nagging and micromanaging and making everyone around you miserable or just avoid you because they see you coming and it looks like bad energy is heading their way. So we say: go ahead and let the kids sometimes have less than perfect lunches or bath time and allow your mate to do it “his” way and who knows? Maybe sometimes you can learn that being perfect isn’t the goal. As surgeons say: perfect is the enemy of good. Good enough is sometimes just right. This need to do it your way could be seen as a form of narcissism, since you love your way over the others’ and we have to tell you: it’s not always about you. Let them do it their way, and everyone can be happy. Just take a breath and let it go.

Hello....My name is Bonnie Sugar and I am a single mother of two teenagers, 18 1/2 and 17. I live in Toronto, Ontario!! I don't even know if you reply to callers in Canada or not!!

My children don't help me with anything all really; I do everything for them!! I guess that would be my fault for doing everything for them and not teaching them the right way!! I don't know if my troubles run deeper than your callers, but maybe could you please give me some pointers on how to fix my family!!! It would be so greatly appreciated!! My apartment is so small my daughter doesn't even want to sleep at home anymore!1 I don't know how to fix it!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you ,
