[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel pretty proud if I remember to pick my kids up... I probably meant to RSVP then thought I better check with Bob or first go see when the dance recital is to know if there was a conflict then call my mom to see if that was the day she needed me to driver her to Polly's etc. And by the time I get through all that I have completely forgotten that what started it was an RSVP. Then at some point in the recesses of my mind, the word birthday party burbles up and I start searching through my emails to see if I forgot something. Maybe I find your invite or maybe I don't or maybe I get sidetracked my one of 50 other things going on. And then on Friday Billy asks me about Bobby's party because its tomorrow and I think oh shit, there was a party invite and apparently it was for tomorrow, and then I can't find the details and I think I am imagining that I saw it at some point. At that point I probably either text Mary, Sue or Sally to see if they know anything about the party or else I bribe Billy and tell him we can't go to the party and I will buy him his own cupcake and present instead and he will get annoyed until he sinks into a sugar coma and forgets what he was annoyed about.[/quote]

You know what?  You need to give Mommy back her phone and wait until your old enough to know how to use the Calendar app before you come onto a big girl site like DCUM.

I think you might have ADHD, 1st PP.  I have it too.  My brain works exactly the way yours does. That is why I HAVE to RSVP right away.  I do it RIGHTTHENANDTHERE, so I will not forget.  I put it on our family shared calendar (COZI).  IF I don't, my brain goes down into rabbit holes the way you described.  You have to find a better system than the one you currently have, because it doesn't sound like it is working for you.  And please know, even though it feels normal to you (and me), it's not to the rest of the world and you will be perceived as rude, or flaky, or something else negative I am assuming you don't want to be.[/quote]
