Is what I feel like lately. I see adhd patients and the ones who donāt have kids.. I just envy them soo much. I wish I knew what it would be like having kids or I wouldnāt have taken my freedom for granted back before I was a mom. I donāt mean to minimize anyoneās struggles because I know weāre all struggling kids or not but. God damn having kids with adhd is hard and stressful AF!! I wish I could just be a student again with no other responsibilities. Ok rant over. Thanks for listening
ETA: this wasnāt meant to be offensive to those without kids or who canāt have them. I was just needing an outlet to vent how hard it is parenting with adhd, on top of all the non parenting things we struggle with in life. Thanks for being kind š©·
Yes, the infant stage was easy compared to toddlerhood! Mine are 4 and 6 and itās way harder now because they just want what they want all the time
I think itās that you have very little free time for yourself. They always need or want something, and they have a million things going on like with school, activities rhat itās just constantly overwhelming. Thereās little time for your own hobbies. I do love them and donāt regret having them, I just didnāt know it would be this hard.
Iām sorry I didnāt mean to scare anyone, it is still worth it itās just hard š©·
I knew it would be hard but not this hard
Iām sorry Iām not angry at you and everyone else who donāt have kids . I suppose I could have explained it better. I just feel like before having kids I didnāt know what I didnāt know and I actually had it a lot easier then (even tho it seemed hard at the time)
Yea, I donāt know if my daughter has adhd or not yet but I find myself saying āhurry upā and yelling āwhat are you doingā when she gets distracted but is supposed to be getting dressed for school or whatever and then I feel bad
I do have a partner and heās very helpful! In fact the kids listen to him but not to me nearly as much which just makes it more frustrating because I have to bring him in often to help get them under control
Iām sorry. I know that. In fact I was one of those people once. Itās just no one tells you how hard parenting really is and I am struggling
