[quote=Anonymous]My husband is ADD and sounds just like what you're describing.  It's VERY difficult to deal with and was definitely exacerbated once kids came along because it's just so much more to manage in our household.  He does respond very well to direction, though, and will do anything I tell him.  So there are times when I basically just give him a list of things I need him to do.  He works well when he has a list and is focused.  He is medicated and he has found things that work for him like maintaining a notebook where he writes everything down so he doesn't forget.

Our daughter was recently diagnosed with dyslexia and as we've learned more about it, he sees so much of himself. We're pretty sure he has an undiagnosed learning disability.

All that being said, I can definitely list other redeeming qualities my husband has that balance out these other issues.  If you can't, then I'd definitely start with individual counseling and then see if you can bring your husband in later on.  [/quote]
