[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still baffled by the pp whose husband can't name the kids doctors. How completely uninvolved of a husband do you have to have?!?   Dh is in a completely inflexible job.  He does not do appts unless it's his day off.  He cannot do sick days/snow days/whatever unless it's a day off.  He cannot leave work early unless it's an actual emergency. He still knows DS' doctor's and dentist's names.  [/quote]

I’m sure my ADHD husband can’t tell you their names. He knows where the dentist/pediatrician/and specialists offices are. He does take her to the doctor regularly- I prefer to do the specialists and pediatric check ups because I’m a nurse but he has done them. I’ll usually send him with a list of meds and any questions we have.

Bottom line- yes he can and he does but I give him a little direction. [/quote]

ADHD Mom here. I have to look up his Doctors Name every time I fill out paper work. I start by googling the practice name and then look at the Doctors Bio page. That is not because I don't take my child to the office but because we don't go often enough that the name fully sticks with me. It is how my brain works. I know everyone at works first name, we all wear badges with our first names, but hardly anyones last name. We don't use them often and they are not on badges. (shrugs) DH does nt give me direction but will remind me of the Doctors name and what floor the office is on in an email because he knows I forget that type of stuff.

My DH takes our son to appointments on a regular basis. I tend to handle the dentist because I make those for after school when I am home from work and DH is not. But he knows the Dentist and has taken DS for a few cavities that needed to be filled at a pediatric dentist when DS was younger. We swap off on vet appointments as well.

We email each other a list of questions that we might have and send an email with the answers. I have to remind my husband that I like to know DS height and weight. [/quote]
