[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad I didnt screen out my ADHD husband! He's extremely crestive ans brings home enough money to support our family pf 6 with a very comfortable DC life. Clearly with 4 kids and me not working, i take care of thr minutia at home, including bill paying, investments, and maximizing tax savings in addition to the kids school and sports schedule. He only has tp focus on his job and coming home and spending relaxing nights and weekends with us.

I would choose him 100xs over again. Messy car, lost credit cards, and misplaced keys and all.[/quote]

He's probably just a bit scattered and maybe traditionally minded so he "can't" do those things as long as there's a woman around to pick up the slack. [/b] People with ACTUAL ADHD also have serious problems at work and don't manage to have high-earning white collar jobs without a lot of stress on themselves and their families. Maybe there's an exception for more adaptive jobs, but I can't think of what they would be.  [/quote]

LOL, I suppose you know more than his doctors. I hope you are well compensated for yiur expertise.

Of COURSE I pick up the slack at home. I do just about everything because it is my JOB.  It is his job to earn an income, which he scores a 10 out of 10 on and it is my job to run a household of 6 people and I try my best to hold up my end of the bargain just as well as he holds up his end.

Im about to blow your mind, but the reason he is not on meds is because it dulls his creativity and he reports that is leaves him emotionless.  He does better at work unmedicated. He has  had the same employer for 10 years and has earned 4 promotions. And yes he id DX'd ADD and has done a great job with CBT.  I also make our home an oasis from stress and use my 9/10hrs during my workday to make evenings and weekends ideal for the entire family.  He doesn't ask me to fo into his job and schedule meetings so i dont expect him to butt into my job and start paying bills or scheduling teeth cleaning.[/quote]
