[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I guess I should phrase the question as: what to do if you are a total f*ck up because that is the truth.

I’ve been making these kinds of mistakes for a long time. I’ll buckle down and it gets better for long stretches then it slides back into this.

I don’t think I am a total idiot but I can be scatter brained.

Does anyone relate? What do you say to your husband?[/quote]

You stop with the whiny pity party.  I can't stand when people make mistakes and hide under this "wahhh I'm such a mess.  How can I be better.  I'm going to be so self deprecating so people are nice and make me feel better about myself".  Grow up.  You know you have this issue.

1.  Make a shared calendar.  That way DH knows exactly what date things fall on
2.  Everything goes on the calendar. Even weekly practices/activities 
3.   If an office doesn't do a follow up reminder, you follow up with them.  
4.  If there is something you truly struggle with, DH takes over and you take something off his plate

Apologize, don't make excuses.  And tell him your game plan going forward.

Boom! One more time for the people in the back!

Same applies for incompetent husbands with every excuse in the book. Proactivity and accepting responsibility go a long way.[/quote]

I'm the PP and have ADHD.  Yeah the advice should be given to all the incompetent husbands that get posted about on here.   I live by lists and calendars or else I'd be a mess.  [/quote]
