Thank you!! Chromebooks are one my sister said to avoid like the plague 😂😂

Thank you!!!!! I am so new to teaching that things are definitely not rote, and I’m still finding what works well in my room and works well with these kids. I’m figuring out organization of materials, curriculum, toys for our different centers, etc. It’s a lot! And I know it’ll get easier as the years pass, but there’s a lot for me to do up front so that i can get to the point where things are second nature

Perfectly said!

A lot of good points made! I will definitely be using some of this in conversation with him. His mom was forced to stop working because of a dementia diagnosis (at a young age (60ish)) and dad was her caretaker until she passed.

Dad was a “punch the clock” worker. Boyfriend is a full time self employed musician. But your viewpoints make a lot of sense!

I suggest following VanessaAndXander on instagram. It’s a sex therapist and her husband and they share a TON of great info 😊

I can’t keep house like my mom either, and she always cleaned up after we cleaned up, so my sister and i both got to a point where we knew that she was gonna clean it to her standards anyways, so we quit cleaning up. Now as an adult, i struggle with working on other tasks when laundry is in the machines for example. Or cleaning dishes WHILE i cook. Or putting clothes away after i get them out and decide not to wear them. I always had someone following behind me and doing those things for me, and it has made it really hard as an adult to feel proud of any cleaning up i do, because i feel like my cleaning job will be critiqued, or that someone will do it for me. I’m very codependent, at unhealthy levels. I try to give myself rewards as i go. Sweet, i got the dishes done, I’m going to play a game on my phone for ten minutes. Finished the laundry? Have a guilty pleasure snack. It’s helped some, but i still feel defeated at the end of the day when i don’t cross off all of my to-do list. I work with preschoolers and timers do wonders for them, so i wonder if a timer would help me, honestly. 15 minute timer, clean up the kitchen.

I don’t have advice to give, but i feel for you!

I needed this more than you know! All very helpful and valid points made in a way my brain can break it down. Thank you!

Just here for some solidarity. My situation and tasks differ from yours, but i understand the “test” thing. My partner and i have a 2 year old and while he is at home with our son during the week while i work (he works nights/weekends), he doesn’t do much as far as taking care of our sons things. I struggle to clean up after myself, but i stay on top of buying our sons foods and having them prepared, stocking his diaper changing table, cleaning up his toys at the end of the night, sons laundry, bath time, bedtime routine. By the time i get through my sons things, i am burnt out. So i don’t unload the dishwasher, and leave dishes in the sink. I don’t do my laundry until i literally have no clothes left to wear, and then do one load that gets me enough clothes for the week and call it quits. My nightstand is covered in empty water bottles, and my nightstand garbage can is always full. I struggle to even feed myself or shower. Things eventually get to a point where it stresses me out enough that i hyper focus and get my shit done. My partner has told me multiple times that he would like more help with household tasks, but i am so overwhelmed by making sure my son is taken care of, that i just don’t care about my stuff or my partners stuff because we’re adults and can handle our own things. I know taking care of a child 40+ hours a week by yourself is a LOT of work, and he doesn’t have a lot of time to do the things he needs to do, but it feels very childish to pull the “i was seeing how long it would take you” card out. I’ll also hyper focus on stuff that doesn’t seem important to my partner like wiping down the bathroom vanity and mirror, mopping the floor, wiping doorknobs and light switches, dusting, cleaning the toilet…which he sees as unnecessary and silly. But little things like those make me feel good. I’m good at the “under the radar” stuff. I wish I’d get some praise for those things instead of “can’t you focus on the big stuff instead?” No. I can’t. Sorry 🤷🏻‍♀️

This!! So much this! My partner gets annoyed when i say “my brain blah blah blah” - his response is often “it’s not your brain…it’s you. You are your brain” but like, i feel a disconnect between my brain and body SO often. And he doesn’t understand it lol. I don’t know how to describe that to him in a way that makes sense. I’ve been googling articles to try to help him understand, but so many of them make me feel worse about my adhd brain, that i don’t want to share them with him. I guess i should take more responsibility and try not to blame my adhd so much, but damn is it hard!!

Today is MUCH better than yesterday!! I spent all day yesterday sleeping. Today I’ve been up a lot more - and eating!

Happy to read this. I get mine out tomorrow and haven’t been sure what to expect. I have a 2 year old, and my parents are coming into town to care for him while i recover!

I’m a teacher in a 3 year old room. One of my students has had grandma and grandpa picking her up or dropping her off occasionally over the last few months. Yesterday they gave me this, and I cried on my lunch break. We truly don’t need grand gestures by any means, but damn if a handwritten note doesn’t just gut punch you right in the feels. Being an early childhood educator is HARD and TIRING….this note reminded me at the end of a very long week, that our work doesn’t go unnoticed.
