[quote=Anonymous]Your DH is gifted and intelligent. What else is great about him? Because your children will probably get that, too. Try to be as positive as you can about it.

PPs have suggested parenting classes, but I think your best bet is counseling for the children when the time is right.

My DS has ADHD, and I realize now that my brother and I do, too. It manifested differently in us - my brother failed out of college and works retail in middle age (but he's a GREAT guy). I did well in school and have 2 graduate degrees. My DS is much more like my brother. But having that example for us (and going through a rough time when DS was in his early teens that resulted in several years of counseling for him) has been such a positive. My parents tried their best, but I see things that they could have done differently. Plus, it gives DS (19 now) and I a baseline for conversation: "Uncle Larlo ... Let's talk about a different path."

I get where you're coming from, though. Except it's MY genes that are the issue. [/quote]
