[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what was your life like before kids? I know a lot of SAHMs who became SAHMs due at least in part to undiagnosed ADHD that made the work/kid juggle a complete nonstarter. [/quote]
Really. I’ve never heard this before. I had a career before kids but always wanted to stay at home. No ADHD here.[/quote]

That’s nice. “A lot” =/= “all” or even “most.”[/quote]

I don’t follow. [/quote]

OP mentioned being disorganized and struggling a lot with finishing what she started. I asked for more info because women with ADHD often find they were not diagnosed as children, and I personally know a lot of women with ADHD who end up staying home. That other SAHMs do not have ADHD is irrelevant. [/quote]

Op here. I’m becoming more and interested in your ADHD angle. Care to share more? Do you have it? Are you a SAHM as well?[/quote]

I do have it. I stayed home for a year. Now I work but have a lot of support (full time live in childcare) or it would never work. If you’re looking for books, ADHD/executive function books might be a place to look. I see an executive function coach and also take medication. [/quote]

Thanks for the info. I’ve never considered that I could have a disorder. I’m definitely going to look into this more. Thanks [/quote]
