@sdwa, often, a parent with ADHD will feel like a failure compared to the non-ADHD parent.
They look at their own difficulties with organization, planning, time-management, discipline, etc., and compare it with their partner’s apparent skill at these things.
However, the ADHD parent is often blessed with great empathy, imagination, creativity, and enthusiasm, and may even be the child’s favourite parent, precisely for these reasons!
So don’t be too hard on yourself!
