Living with an ADHD spouse is like living with the spirits from Poltergeist.

My wife is not ADHD, but she will start 19 new things on her way to completing one.

second22soprano.bsky.social•84 days ago

I bet your wife is ADHD but doesn’t know it yet.

I decided I was going to mop the floor 8 days ago. It took until today until everything was in place for me to do it. I should probably plan to mop tomorrow too or it may be months until it's done again

Do you know the Leacock story The Retroactive Existence of Mr. Juggins? Amusing and seems apropos. You can find it here:

If I didn't procrastinate, I'd never get anything done

blondiebombshell.bsky.social•84 days ago

I think EVERY woman has ADHD.

We start to do one thing , and then on the way notice that this other thing needs to be done and another and another.

Finally we get the dishes done after completing all the others along the way.

This is very much me. You should the adhd walk too.

phrebh.bsky.social•83 days ago

That's why I do dishes while I'm cooking. It's easier as a second thing. Lol

uniblonder.bsky.social•84 days ago

I love all of this. 💖

This is my daily, but w/ 2 teenagers!

Did she change careers learn to play piano and also start a dissertation on Chaucer en route to the dishes? Cuz that might be something I understand on a personal level.

This is me

Hahahaha yes

altsampiper.bsky.social•84 days ago

*raises hand* somehow I went from folding dog blankets in the living room to folding t-shirts in the bedroom and I literally have *no* idea how that happened.

dragmemohart.bsky.social•84 days ago

I know I do.

vmlopez.bsky.social•83 days ago

Absolutely. 😆😆

zivadoodle.bsky.social•84 days ago

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

fingaround.bsky.social•84 days ago

This happens every day. If it's not me, it's him.

mandarenegade.bsky.social•83 days ago

My house is even simpler -

Me (ADHD): I'm gonna go do the one thing.

Husband: okay, enjoy doing all the things at once. Let me know when you need help.

oldladyjo.bsky.social•84 days ago

Never diagnosed ADHD, but I’m literally neuro-divergent (as in my brain is literally not like others, having an arachnoid cyst), and I totally get this. In fact, it’s me right now (doing dishes since yesterday).

The hubs, absolutely

jayneeangelmom.bsky.social•84 days ago

😂🥰💙yes, I get it, about myself.😂😂😂

natrlover1975.bsky.social•84 days ago

lol Yep. I used to wonder why I was like that and felt like it was some personal failure or something. Didn't have a clue I had ADHD until my daughter was diagnosed and I was researching to help her. It all made sense then.

lizzie-in-ca.bsky.social•79 days ago

Hey, get out of my house 😏🙃

This IS ME! It never fails!
The universe conspires against us!

kellyscaletta.bsky.social•84 days ago

So much this!

write-or-die.bsky.social•84 days ago

I made a really stupid meme instead of washing dishes today.

screwball3964.bsky.social•83 days ago

I have a house cleaning spreadsheet for the same reason.

kimberleey.bsky.social•84 days ago

Yep. One task always leads to another. And one task always interrupts the other. It's a never ending cycle...

chrysgodawgs.bsky.social•84 days ago

Me, all day, every day. Plus the jumbled thoughts.

jummar.bsky.social•84 days ago

It's funny because it's true.

drharmony.bsky.social•83 days ago

@jimevans.bsky.social ....

gggiantginger.bsky.social•83 days ago

Still being productive. That’s an ADHD win as far as I’m concerned.

gemmadstone.bsky.social•84 days ago

We have a house full. It’s both maddening and entertaining.

sdblues.bsky.social•84 days ago

Yes, that would be me

connectthedots2.bsky.social•83 days ago

I'm still trying to figure out whether all of the scattered coffee cups in random places were necessary, or just a lack of understanding that they could be reused without grabbing a new one.
