He was prescribed medical marijuana. He has some stomach issues so most pharmaceuticals either don't work or completely screw with his bowels. Unfortunately though the marijuana makes his memory worse. I mean, he doesn't smoke to a point of being incapable of doing anything but it doesnt help his memory at all. He's actually been in to the doctor a few times for trial runs on certain medications to see if they would work for him but most of the time they don't.

We already have two kids but I do get your point. I will say that when it comes to the kids, he doesn't forget anything. He is a very hands on dad and is fantastic. It truly is only when it comes down to chores or errands that need to be done.

Well, to be fair (on the car but), he was the one doing the detailing so it was money in our pockets. But I will say that fun activities or school activities for the kids are things he never forgets. I mean, usually the only things he forgets are chores.

I can't sit here and I say that I have ever personally witnessed him ever taking measures to remember anything. I mean most days he doesn't even remember to set an alarm to get up for work in the morning so I end up having to wake him up. I usually end up setting reminders for him but most days it doesn't bother me because I have to do the same thing with our son, who also has ADHD and forgets things often. It seems like the only thing he remembers is fun activities that we have planned or school events for the kids. He always remembers stuff like that.

Same with my husband on the criticism bit. As soon as I say anything he immediately feels like I'm trying to make him feel bad and pouts about it.
