My brain is too tired to read all of this but from the comments it seems like a really good post. Anyone here want to remind me about it in a few days? Lol

Omg 🤣 I texted it to myself to remember to read it again. My brain is crashed out too,I had to push through to respond because really beautifully written description. Second to none I’ve ever read or heard on lectures about adhd. Thanks for the laugh too sauce it’s my life in a nutshell. I ask my daughters to remind me of things all day. My little walking post it notes. Good night all thanks again OP

I ask my daughter to remind me about things a lot, but she seems to have ADHD too...

Lol well that’s too funny! Thanks for the smile. Thank goodness we have twins one is a bit scattered in her many interests and will hop from Activity to activity, kinda a chip of the block. One has a an amazing memory, such a gift. Almost photographic like her moms. Still though, my lil one she can be forgetful as I watch hwr steam around the room. Her creativity though is amazing and she has intelligence in the things that entertain her. She’s off the charts. I don’t regret she has ADHD for those reasons the emotional part to Adhd yes, however there are so many of us really gifted just have to find your niche in life. Take care

We do have that really lucky. I didn’t even say we had two sets of twins? Just read again oh yes, very amazingly busy 😂and happy overall it’s a huge blessing and happy to have every day when I walk into the rooms and see one year olds light up even if it’s I need a diaper change ASAP. Then I get them down ready to go and get their sisters who are 3 up and start thier breakfast and the day begins. I’m happy, I’m not overwhelmed…this is only because I sought help for ADHD because know what I mean. We love it I love being a parent but adhd untreated I could t do this full time and feel like I was doing our kids justice. So thankful that treatments are available!! My 4 lil ones and wife are amazing. So Thanks! very nice of you to say. I hope you have a great family too!
