[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds like a loser. How entitled is he that he can’t get 3 things done on his list? I’m guessing he can at work—somehow.  I couldn’t stay married to him. [/quote]
This dynamic is incredibly common with a spouse with ADHD. It takes so much more effort for their brain to succeed at executive functioning at work they ofte drop the ball at home. Not an excuse, but an underlying explanation. [/quote]

I have ADHD and somehow I magically get sh*t done. I think this is a combination of entitled and lazy. [/quote]

Agreed. 💯. It takes major effort on my part to remember to put things back where they belong, to keep my files organized, to “see” things that need to be done. I’m famous for opening drawers and forgetting to close them. But I’ve trained myself to walk back and look at the drawers. I’ve worked really hard at keeping my keys in one place so I don’t lose them. And yes I have a full time job. The things op is describing is laziness compounded by attention deficit.

Note to parents of kids with add or adhd—making excuses for them or doing things for them because of their special needs will end up adults like this dh. [/quote]
