[quote=Anonymous]I have a husband with ADD/ASD, a son with ADD/ASD, and compared to those two, I am the executive marvel, with my mild symptoms of ADD. My daughter is also quite organized and a decent time manager.

So I don't know what to tell you, OP, except that we're missed a plane due to my husband's inability to leave on time, he never pays the taxes on time, he's been fired from jobs... and my son has double time and a slew of accommodations in school and I wonder how he'll cope in the workplace as an adult.

I cannot lift everyone up. 
My son is medicated and tries his best.
My husband refuses to medicate himself - this is a source of contention, obviously.

We lead a small life with the minimum of activities and appointments. My husband is underemployed and underpaid. Because of this, we can't outsource anything, and we do everything ourselves. The house is always a cluttered mess, because my husband is also a borderline hoarder.

I think you can hire a more competent nanny and it will perhaps help. Drop as many items off your to-do list as you possibly can. Right now some of our grass stalks have sprouted. The neighbors are very kind and forgiving, and don't mind. We're not mowing today. I have too many fires to put out, and my husband... won't do it today.
