[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would stay clear if you are thinking of having kids. If you are not, then just enjoy him and his quirks. However, the problems with ADHD become exacerbated when you have a child and it is highly likely that the child will also have ADHD.[/quote]

We are divorced and have adult children. [/quote]

OK so you're both indoor 50s and 60s.

I've seen what my MIL suffers through with FIL and NO THANKS. [b]Dangerous driver, no great conversations- just nutball ones,[/b] can't remember gifts or holidays/birthdays/anniversaries, senile assumptions.

And once something happens to her, or he needs to take care of her, game over. He can't take care of anything or anyone. Not a car, not a bed, not a child, not a house, not a wife.

Just have some fun for a short while. But if you are wanting a life partner, get out now. [/quote]

These were the two things that I regretted most about my marriage. I tried to never let him get on the beltway with the kids—sure, honey, I really want to drive Larlo to that birthday party in Falls Church, after taking Larla to Gaithersburg last week, because I need some more bonding time with those other moms! And conversation that went, “it was like, you know, wow.”

Also, the terrible parenting instincts, because he couldn’t focus beyond the short term. The kids learned about age 10 how to talk him out of every consequence for bad behavior, so they’d go to him first, and then if it was really a big deal (like, you know, shoplifting but he said it was ok) I’d have to be the evil mom who imposed punishment.

Otherwise, he could be very sweet and loving.[/quote]
