[quote=Anonymous]Also have DH with ADD.  It is an added challenge -- where I have to be the super organized one and take on a much bigger share of the household burden (and I'm also the significantly higher/primary earner).  It's not fair and I feel undermined a lot - particularly when I've worked hard to keep everything going & then he questions/second guesses or doesn't follow through on things he's agreed to do.  Sadly, I've mostly just learned to accommodate life around it...  like some PPs where I put together I schedule, we jointly found some added chores he could take on that weren't as kid related (even just things like him getting the dry cleaning instead of me - since eventually he's out of shirts and so will end up doing that! But he also took on doing our laundry at home too...).  I do all the procurement of things for the kids, make sure they have all their things and clothes and all that other stuff... I just remind myself that overall I'd rather be in the relationship than not, even if it means I'm sort of like a half-single mom vs. in a functionally supportive co-parenting relationship.[/quote]
