[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same girl, same.

I’ve thought a lot about this. I blame a lot on dhs adhd but I don’t think that’s accurate. [b]I think girls just get conditioned to do more with less time. Like one day I just decided to work smarter and not harder. [/b]So I clean as I go, make one trip upstairs instead of 10, scrub the shower walls while I’m in the shower, make sure we have everything in the bag so we aren’t miserable at our destination (like dh forgets bug spray and then the kid itch for days) and generally I just double check and over think everything. Dh is awesome and is a rockstar dad, but damn he’d be lost without me. He’s also so bad at executive functioning. I’ve tried to train him. There are list everywhere. My kids even know to make sure dad is reminded of things. No solutions. I think everything will just get easier once we’re out of the baby and toddler stage. I am trying to raise my kids with excellent executive functioning skills. [/quote]

I agree with this but I just can't figure out why it would be the case. Why would you want to spend more time cleaning, getting ready, doing admin, etc., than you have to? It's just so obvious that you should try to combine tasks or do them in an order that minimizes work for you. And I feel like when we had a kid, my brain just started figuring out how to make all the repetitive parenting tasks go as smoothly as possible. I'm not even amazing at it -- I have friends who are like parenting Jedis with their ability to multitask and I am always stealing their good ideas. And yet my own DH doesn't pick up on very basic efficiencies. It's mysterious to me.[/quote]

it’s not a mystery. his multitasking is offloading all the chores on you. and he’s very good at it. [/quote]
