[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds like a big baby.   Why did you marry him and procreate?  He was like this and probably worse when you first got together,

Does he see a psychiatrist regularly for his ADHD?  He should until he finds the medication dosage that makes him more functional....  but maybe he thinks he is doing fine and you are being the short tempered bitch.  Honestly, there is no good solution for your current dynamic.[/quote]

He was actually better before we got married, but from what I understand that's a common feature in relationships with people who have ADHD. They can harness their ADHD energy to be "hyper-focused" on the relationship in the courting stage, but it can't be sustained for lengthy periods of time. This was echoed by the psychiatrist and therapists and coaches. He wasn't even diagnosed with ADHD until after DD was born- eerily like another thread tonight, he left the bathtub full after baby's bath multiple times. I realized that something in his brain was off if such a scary safety thing wasn't shocking him into paying attention, and that's when he went in for (really thorough) testing.

But you are correct: he is a big baby and I feel like a mean bitchy mommy. I don't see a solution which is why I posted this as a vent, not a hunt for advice, I think. [/quote]
