Unsupported - how would this make you feel?

I am going through the assessment process but pretty sure I have adhd and autism. I have struggled my whole life, and at times had good or not so good coping mechanisms, before understanding it could be this. But since having 2 children close together, struggled more internally. I do everything in our house, and never am on top of everything, I hide things in cupboards and am very good at hiding a lot of things tbh. My wardrobe is a total mess things just thrown in, my kids have clothes piled up to be put away but I feel like I'm at my limit. Even doing the washing, drying, cleaning and cooking utterly exhausts me. On top of trying to manage self employment and studying, I am failing at everything. This morning he asked me why I hadn't put some clothes away and just left them on the side in his room (we are togeyher for the kids, but don't share a room, I share with the kids). And I just broke down, it was maybe 6 or 7 tshirts, I'd been in a rush and put them down whilst doing everyone else's laundry too. His room is a dump and I hate going in there so I haven't thought about it since. He says its been there 2 weeks and he's been wondering when I would do it. I said why didn't he do it if it was that important and he said he likes doing me it. Then told me my reaction was my adhd and I was being triggered and feeling offended. I said I was just pissed if he 'understands me so much' like he says he does, why he couldn't just fucking do it himself. He's gone off out to a motivational talk he booked himself on and I've got an activity to take the kids too but my whole energy has been floored. Sorry for the essay. Am I being unreasonable here? Is this my adhd? Is this me?

Part of it could be the ADHD and you are also right, he could have done it. He honestly sounds like he is taking advantage of you doing everything.

So to put it short… yes your ADHD is making things more challenging and he is being an unreasonable asshole giving you all the work.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
