Re: ADHD parents dealing with ADHD Kids

Hmmm yes. It’s hard.

Mornings in my house were one of 2 things, before my meds. Either:

Me: Well done for leaning forward. Your crumbs are dropping on your plate instead of your shirt.

You ignored the dog and he stopped begging – fab!

Do you remember what you need to do now? Yup! Teeth. How shiny can you make them?

etc

Or

Me: Where did you put your shoes? What do you MEAN you don’t KNOW?!

Get your teeth brushed NOW! Hurry up!

Lean FORWARD! The dog will beg for food if you drop stuff on the floor.

Shoes. QUICK!

Flippin eck. It’s stressful for everyone. So far though the meds have changed that around for me and I tend to get up in time to have a calm morning. I even have time to play the piano while they’re eating sometimes!
