  • The ability to call ones therapist when's the other is exhibiting unusual behavior that is concerning
  • The health person in the relationship is responsible 4 cooking pre-frozen meals that just require being put in the oven
  • All dishes and silverware are replaced with the equivalent paper/ plastic product in an episode
  • All parenting related issue fall on the health parents. This includes finding childcare and delegate child's responsibility two others when possible.
  • Children go to bed an hour early
  • Daily list of self care is the only requirement for the day
  • Make sure the house is (insert name) proof meaning the person cannot himself purposely or accidentally
  • sick parent is required to read a story or watch a movie with children before bed
  • Medication and drink will be handed to the person so they do not forget to take it
  • Activity bags based on mood will be taken out and readily available

that is just a stat we tend to treat each otherwith tons of respect but the ability of a 3 year old in decision making. one of the major thing is that when in an episode we avoid disciplining our child in a non concrete weigh. Depending on your house hold your 8 year old maybe able to complete more self care acts then given. Like fixing snacks, and doing their own laundry (with laundry soap packs)
