How do I raise my teenagers when I can’t even get everything done I should be getting done?

Yep… same question.  On my good days I realize that when I communicate my issues and how I am attempting to improve, I am teaching them how to take care of and advocate for themselves and prioritize their health above a dirty floor or a sink of dishes…

On a bad day, well, I end up spiraling down a self-loathing or burnout path and eventually use that as a what-not-to-do example.  Ugh 😑

let them wing it. independently learning through trial and error is always more impactful than trying to tell them what to do all the time

You are doing better than you know.  You are carving out time to figure out your ADHD which helps you and your kids!  You are doing a great job Mama!!  Hugs

How’ve you done it up to this point in their life?
