Parent with ADHD

If your a mum, with ADHD. How would you say this affects your parenting - especially if you have a toddler 🙃 I honestly think I may be undiagnosed.

Hi I'm that parent. Not sure if it's helps i have 3 kids. Not in the toddler stage but my youngest is audhd and it can be a challenge to not get overstimulated when the youngest is overstimulated. If that makes sense. Feel free to message me. 😊

As a parent with ADHD and a children with possible autism/ADHD or both I find it extremely challenging to not get overstimulated especially when my youngest also overstimulated. Unfortunately we're both seriously like 2 peas in a pod and there makes it extremely frustrating for both of us. My husband who is also autistic thankfully is very calm in nature and can normally get me to take a break so I can calm down and he can then calm our youngest down as she does respond better to him. I do wish so much that I could stop myself getting so emotionally dysregulated. I'm currently undiagnosed aswell but I also have depression and anxiety which I've only just started taking meds for last week. I'm hoping they're going to start working soon as I feel terrible that I can't be the stable parent that my kids need 😔

I’m audhd with audhd kids and I can’t keep a routine for the life of me!
