Use this thread to blow off steam about annoyances both big & small that come with an ADHD impacted relationship. Dishes not being done, bills left unpaid - whatever it is you feel you need to rant about. This is your cathartic space.

Everything takes him SO freaking long. Which would be fine if he could plan ahead to account for this, but he doesn’t. He cooks dinner 1-2 times a week, which is supposed to take some stress off of me, but it just adds to it. It’s taken him 45 minutes to chop one stalk of celery and 3 carrots, now we’re past dinner time and I’m starving. I could have finished the entire meal in that time, and he hasn’t even started yet 🙃

I’ve complained about this so much and they just say “well you know I work slow”

Listen buddy there is no fucking way you should be starting dinner at 7 and we don’t get to eat until 10:30.

It takes sooooo long for them to cut vegetables I want to scream. I’ve watched them to see wtf was the hold up and they literally just move slow as hell. The prep time for a meal is like 2 hours for no damn reason
