[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sorry OP, my spouse has ADHD as does one of my children. The other is the most organized functional human in our family.

I have to treat both DH and DS like kids with adhd. Structure, expectations, nothing rushed. Announce plenty of times with plenty of time  what the expectations and schedules for the day are. Like at breakfast: OK, by 10 am you need to shower. You need make sure you are showered, dressed with teeth brushed before you and Dad go out to do X. That means you need to get off your device now. You also have get dad to agree to the schedule. Then you need reminders for both.

but yeah DH can be super sensitive although usually he is the one barking orders because he feels such inner chaos that it alleviates it and he is at least on board with things like showers, etc. [/quote]

Not OP, but a PP here-see, as a spouse I find this exhausting. I live it, so I know. I'm at the point in my life where I just.don't.want. to deal with dh anymore. Just today, I was heading out to church really early (for a volunteering reason). 6yo DD woke up, I left her reading a book. When I got home, DH started right in on me complaining about how I 'woke dd up'. DD was happy and occupied. Did he think to give her breakfast? No...just to complain and go back to bed.

OP, I hear you and I live a similar life. I'm edging towards done, just not sure if dd is better off with the bad marriage, or him having shared custody.[/quote]

I’m sick of having to prompt grown @$$ husband and adolescents on basic life things.  
Will be divorcing. Kids can figure it out themselves which path to take. They see two clearly different ones. [/quote]
