[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m starting to think that most of the “ADD” here is just how male brains work. In modern times, people are in denial about how much men and woman evolved to handle different aspects of life. American women have been duped into the “men and women are basically the same” delusion and they drives themselves (and their husbands) crazy when their husband’s inevitably don’t handle the housework like they do.[/quote]

ADD is not about forgetting to do obvious housework or your share. It's about forgetting about conversations, decisions, what to do. It's about walking around the house with horse blinders on to anyone talking to you or anything that needs attending to. It's about saying you'll do something and then not doing it at home and at work. It's about losing track of time every single morning or weekend. It's about never planning a trip or day or event in a logical way - just check the box. It's about losing your parked car, keys, phone, wallet on a weekly basis. It's about eating frozen pizza every single night when your spouse is traveling because it's too much brain power to meal plan, cook, clean, think. It's about asking a question at a group dinner three times in a row to questions/answers that were just discussed because you can't pay attention. Or on the hyper side, it's about talking a mile a minute with no filter - all the time.

After a few years of someone (usually a spouse or boss) noticing, then the anxiety, depression, passive aggressiveness, and anger sets in. Usually they were like that growing up, but their Mom made their life uber-simple: Just study and get got grades. No chores, No sports, No ECs, No trips, No big house, No lots of stuff, No responsibilities. Just simple dimple. [/quote]

This is my MIL, SIL and BIL - combined with anxiety.  Good times.  OP, if you don't have to go down this road, don't. [/quote]
