[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two working parents with no remote options and three kids, two of whom have special needs which greatly increases the amount of appointments. No family help and only paid help was an every other housecleaner which we didn’t have until all kids were school aged.

You do it by being organized. You plan ahead. You schedule appointments well in advance and as many as possible on the same day. You guard your leave time from work so you can get the necessities done. You make simple meals from the menu you preplanned. And you get things ready for the week on Sunday - packing lunches, laying out clothes for the week, etc.

Aftercare helps with some things, like homework. And they fed my kids so no one came home starving and cranky. [/quote]

And you make sure no one in the family has ADHD, especially you. [/quote]

PP here. Actually two kids with ADHD. it actually made my house run more efficiently because we had to be super organized and live with a lot of rules. To this day, no one would even think about leaving something laying around instead of putting it where it belongs. They even tell their friends where to put things when they come over.

And even though mine were in daycare, I felt like we had lots of time together every day except the first few months of kindergarten for my youngest.   Maybe mine didn’t sleep as much as other people’s did. [/quote]

Yeah. I think this type of ND shaming is harmful and stereotypical. There are many very successful people with ADHD.[/quote]

Agreed - 2 adhd and dyslexic kids. Successful with 2 working parents [/quote]
