Maybe it seems like a semantic quibble, but I don't think so, because there are important parts of parenting that are exclusive to parenting that people with ADHD are [i]more likely to[/i] excel at. For example, in teaching your child-- which is, in fact, exclusive to parenting-- being willing to admit when you're wrong, to see things from your child's perspective, to open up worlds for them, come up with creative activities, and so on. Again, not everyone with ADHD is awesome in all these ways, but not everyone with ADHD is near-useless at managing a household or setting boundaries. Especially more likely that moms with ADHD are halfway decent at those household management things.

Previous DH here, and I just wanted to focus on this part because I didn't know this was true and as an ADHD parent, I have notice it with my relationship with my kids. I will try to read up on this more. I have always thought of myself as creative but not in a drawing or a writing type of creative, more of a you put me in the middle of a maze and I'll get home somehow. [/quote]
