[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband, who has inattentive ADHD and is incapable of planning ahead, has hit on the plan of watching the news regularly to know when such holidays are upon him, and suggesting we get a fancy dessert on the actual day. He's also made chocolate treats himself, when he's had the time.

But shopping for Christmas or birthday presents? Not on your life. He will look up from his work on Christmas Eve and ask what I got for everyone, including the kids. And sometimes not even that - he just finds out when they open their presents. He will get me one useful, practical gift on Amazon, but I'm the only person he shops for.

I hope your husband hasn't entirely forgotten, OP. Maybe you can suggest something this evening.[/quote]

Me and 3 of my dearest female friends all have adhd and none of us ever forget christmas is coming. ever. I may be wrapping all night xmas eve despite swearing I'd never do it again; I might be using blue painters tape because i forgot to buy more clear tape, but I have never, ever forgot to buy presents. Don't excuse him. [/quote]

Does the ADHD husband have a job? Does he have tasks that are due on a particular date and he has to plan them and make sure they get done? Is he capable of putting recurring appointments in his Outlook calendar? If so then his ADHD excuse is BS.

At Christmas does he [i]not notice[/i] that the house has been decorated and the tree put up long before the actual day, which ought to remind him to buy presents?

Hardly seems possible. [/quote]
