[quote=Anonymous]Arrgh!  My husband is like this with his understanding of ADHD. I have ADHD as do my kids.  They aren't doing this on purpose, it is  a disability and it affects them all day long, every day.  If a person with diabetes blood sugar gets low, do you blame them?  No you help them work out methods so they can do better next time.  Get them an executive function coach.  Not all are good, my DD first one also had ADHD and was not effective.  Their brains work differently and usual strategies won't work.  But there are effective ones out there.  Think if it is this hard for you, how hard is it for them with the actions they are having to initiate all day long and the criticism they are getting when they make an error, due to their disability.  In the long wrong they will become good at troubleshooting because of this experience, but in the near term it is hard.  Work with them.  Lots of good books out there for parents.  Get them an Executive Function coach, if you can afford it.[/quote]
