Don’t take too much responsibility for your kids successes or their failures. Also, don’t listen to all the blogs, books, other patents etc, you do what’s best for you and your family (applies to food, screen time, toys, everything)

If everything you do is out of love for your child, you can't go wrong.

To me, this meant that if I was stern for the right reasons and even if my kid got upset, I knew it was still right. I don't spoil them even because I want to, because I don't want them to grow up entitled. I love them, and sometimes that means making the harder choice, because it's right.

Spend time your family

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.
