'I'm not saying someone w ADHD cannot learn from his or her mistakes, become more independent, or should not be held responsible. I am only suggesting there are times to relax and not spend every minute trying to follow some set of rules about your child.'
” I crowed as I dropped off my son and his two friends at school. My partner, who usually does carpool duty, was out of town. Not surprisingly, my son and I had ‘run out of time’ getting ready to leave the house. I had been so frustrated with myself for not leaving earlier, but arriving in time to catch up with other parents before the Friday assembly, nicely timed with my regular day off, left me feeling celebratory.
Nevertheless, I backed the car out and headed home, cursing and shaking my head. A large part of my disappointment was in myself. I remember his fourth-grade teacher, at Back-to-School Night, emphasizing the importance of; if they forgot something, let them figure it out, she said. I knew he could get through the day without his computer, but it would be inconvenient and unpleasant for him.
I cope, I get by, I am successful at work and in my hobbies, but that is largely because of the kindness of those around me. Too often I arrive without the very thing I need. Too often I forget to do the thing I absolutely promised to do as I flew out the door — convinced I would remember — and yet I completely forget. Consequently, for all the positives I receive for jobs well done, there’s probably an equal amount of self-recrimination over things that didn’t get accomplished.
