[quote=Anonymous]I've had ADHD since childhood, but did not start medication until I was an adult on my own. I only take it during the work week and don't really notice a difference in my parenting (though I only have one, so not as stressed and pulled in multiple directions as my friends), but my house would be MUCH better organized and life outside of work would be much more productive if I took more medication. It's like I spend all of my mental resources parenting and don't have enough left over to be a regular adult. I feel so much more distracted and unmotivated on the weekends and really struggle to do any tasks that aren't directly parenting related. So I write a ton of lists, married a very helpful partner that picks up the slack, and outsource a lot of cleaning and tasks that I really could do on my own. It's tough, but if you feel like your parenting is suffering, it can't hurt to try medication and stop if it's not working for you. [/quote]
