[quote=Anonymous]I can't cook and have a conversation with my husband or guests.  I need to 100% focus on cooking.  I cannot imagine cooking and caring for the kids.  I CAN get breakfast on the table, because that's open cereal box, pour cereal, set the table.  get our fruit, pour fruit into bowls, blah blah.

I'm just saying if I had to cook pancakes (measuring! remembering! steps!) while kids were racing under my feet and saying "look, look!" every 2 minutes, I, too would look like a 'cartoon robot with smoke coming out of my ears!"

and I'm as NT as they come.

I really, really appreciate the husband with ADHD and the wife with ADHD who posted the long message - those were amazingly helpful for me to understand this thing called ADHD and executive function.

(and to know that taking a lap around the kitchen, or doing 3 jumping jacks then continuing on with the dishes would help to focus is amazing!  As an educator, I am always trying to learn more about executive functioning skills and deficits)  [/quote]
