As a new dad, holy crap thanks for the reminder

wake up early with the kids, take them to get flowers and a card for mom, including some artwork or drawings from the kids, set up a nice display on the kitchen counter for her to see (including some chocolate covered strawberries or candies or something) then a nice outing to the botanical gardens with a professional photographer and everyone in nice outfits followed by a delicious kid friendly brunch where you take care of the feeding, followed by an afternoon for your wife doing something she likes on her own (spa day, girls day drinking, etc). When she gets home, have the kids fed and bathed and let her say goodnight to them. Then you cook dinner and you stay in and watch a movie. The gift from the kids is that you tell them/coach them that this is a special day for mama and not to hassle her too much.

One year when my kids were little we went to one of these ‘Color Me Mine’ places and picked out a vase. Used the kids handprints as flowers and I did a decent job on the stems. 15 years on and its still displayed prominently

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

Does ADHD have a big impact on your memory? It feels like if I don't have constant reminders set or leave notes for myself I can forget ANYTHING even if it's really important to me. I think it's making my partner feel like I don't remember the things they say or don't care to listen. What can I do?? Not on medication but if it helps with this I'd take it.
