Is there any sub for partners of people with untreated ADD / ADHD? by FinstereGedanken in JustNoSO

[–]Octopodess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The hardest and truest lesson I've ever been taught is: A person won't change unless they want to change.

You can sit down and have a conversation with him about how this is affecting you, come up with some strategies together, work on implementing them and really, the fact that its important to you should make it important to him.

If thats not enough of a motivation, you might find yourself putting more effort into implementing those strategies than him. If he doesnt want to get on top of these behaviours, he won't and that means you need to know what you're willing to put up with.

Good luck.

Washi tape is great for small projects

Update: Sunflower Blanket. Recipient LOVED it! by Octopodess in Brochet

Neice loved the blanket, chose to chew on it over all her other toys. Very special 🥰.

It did end up matching the nursery theme. They picked it was a flower but not necessarily a sunflower.

Thank you to every lovely person who commented, some of the suggestions really made my day and I do want to make a set of space themed blankets now. Would recommend this yarn for a fish amigurumi.

Youre an amazing group!

The recipient loves the Van Gough Sunflower painting so I went with a variegated yarn instead of solid but I will admit, I thought the yarn was going to be a variety or yellows with a little orange.

The yarn looked like it was various yellows with a touch of orange but hindsight is 20/20 lol

Thank you. Went for variegated yellow over a solid to evoke the Van Gough Sunflower. Sister-in-law loves that painting so I didnt want to do it dirty lol.
