[quote=Anonymous]I was in this situation (kids have since fledged). Give DH some tasks he can manage, like the kids' sports and the weekly grocery shopping if you give him a list. Sure, mine occasionally left the bag with the milk behind, but on the whole it worked. You organize the really complicated things like summer camp. Get a new nanny, and also a housecleaner every week or two weeks. If your kids have ADHD, it may be a lot to have a nanny that also manages the house. For me, it was like walking on eggshells because DH had not (yet) been formally diagnosed or medicated, but he knew he was prone to massive screw-ups and was really sensitive to being corrected. I had to find the most nonconfrontational version of myself I could, by telling myself at least he was trying, and I also had to learn to let a lot of things slide.[/quote]
