How many kids do you have?
Hi. I’m a mom to a 2 yr old. Prior to having kids I always thought I wanted at least 2 kids because my husband and I are both 1 of 2 kids. Now that I’m in the parenting stage I’m realizing that since I get overstimulated so easily that my mental health and adhd seems to do better with 1 kiddo. I struggle with understanding the sweep of time so if I’m in a store I have to make sure my son is strapped into the shopping cart because if I’m looking for an item at the grocery store I can’t multitask when I’m looking for that item while making sure he’s staying beside me and not scooting off. My mind is constantly in overdrive.
So out of curiosity. Is it just me? I think I am one and done for this reason, financials, and it’s just easier all around. For reference, I frequent the one and done sub on Reddit often.
So questions…. How many kids do you have? Ages?
Do you work full time? Do you work from home? Part time? Stay at home? Tell me it all. And how do you manage!!
Edit: thank you to each and everyone of you for sharing! I appreciate all the insight. Parenting is no joke!!! I’m glad adhd can bring us all together like this. Be well ✌️
