[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s called ADHD. [/quote]

Would it be called that if it were the husband? Or man child?[/quote]
ADHD, absolutely.[/quote]

Why can't it just be lazy procrastinator? I'm pretty sure I'm a lazy procrastinator (here I am on DCUM!). I would love it to be something explainable like ADHD but that seems like a lazy excuse. ha. [/quote]

Because the ADHD brain causes the symptom of “lazy procrastination.”

Realizing and accepting ADHD brains work differently is the first step in developing actual strategies to address problematic behaviors. Accusing someone of being lazy is just shame-inducing which serves no one. Yeah, it sucks.

As for strategies:

Make the task interesting for your spouse. 
Combine the task with something she is already doing. 
Create some silly off-beat reminders.

And, honestly…if it’s important to you then it’s on you to do it. Accept that this is just one of those things and find strategies that work for you to manage the stress her brain causes your brain. [/quote]
