Change in dinner plans

One would think it would be easy to change your dinner plans but it's not. Today was our youngest boy day to pick. He asked for shepherds pie rolls and fruit salad.

As I said before I don't feel good at all and that meal is a lot of work to make. I texted Joel to see if he might be able to bring something one from the shop. He answered with sandwiches or coconut shrimp and rice. It would just need to be reheated. A fast simple meal.

My boy wouldn't care if we changed plans but it's my daughter I worry about. She's already made a change in her schedule even though it was her choice I just don't know if it would be a good idea to have something different.

Her schedule is so important to her and she doesn't handle charges well. I worry if I call or text her she will feel pressured to change because I asked her too. It seems so simple but it's so not

Just curious, would it not be helpful for her to learn how to handle change, to see that she can make changes and be okay? Even get some added self esteem by seeing herself master those occasions? I realize it’s not simple but seems as if it would be a valuable life lesson, even if it’s given in tiny steps over time.

@OlderSometimesWiser we are working with a new neurologist to help her learn how to cope with and deal with the stress of changes in her daily routine. It is a process right now.

Maybe have a talk about it with all the family and ask them that the more complicated meals can only be planned for a weekend or once in a while.
So to take some pressure off.
Maybe better not today but bring it up a different day.

@being yeah they usually don't pick meals like that but if they pick it again I will say that's a weekend meal or even a Friday night meal

You guys can still have dinner together though right even though the menu is changing?

@AngelUnforgiven I am just going to suck it up and cook the meal. Their might be other changes in our plans so I don't want a repeat of a few weeks ago when she go overwhelmed and had a meltdown

@being if you do make sure to drink a Red Bull and a 5 hour energy drink first lol. This child is a ball of energy from the time he wakes up until he goes to bed.
