Go Easy on Yourself
Don’t stereotype yourself. There is no law that says you have to read Thomas the Tank Engine aloud five times a day. Find other activities to do. Take photos of your child or strap her into a jogging stroller and take off.
Let go of your guilt. If you find yourself wishing you were elsewhere, and childless, accept that as normal. Parenting is difficult for everyone, and tougher when you have ADD/ADHD. Remind yourself that these feelings are temporary. Parenting gets easier.
