[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My big thing is no one gets to “relax and unwind” until the work is done, and then we can both do it.

So if one of us is doing kitchen cleanup after dinner, lunches etc. the other damn well better be flipping laundry, walking the dog, taking out trash, encouraging kids along bedtime, etc.  if that all gets done come back in the kitchen to help the first person wrap it up so we can both “relax and unwind”

Not a perfect system and there are nights where one person shrugs it off bc of work stuff or hobby stuff or feeling overwhelmed or whatever.  But overall we’re happy with this.

It took about 5 years from when I first articulated this strategy to my ADHD spouse (medicated but not daily) to today, improving along the way, but we’re here. Now to hold the line…[/quote]

Right. I'm not sure this is even an ADHD issue. It is a "being a good team player" issue. I think that it takes lots of couples some time to figure out the right approach, but if both are on board with achieving harmony in the home, it is entirely doable.[/quote]
