  • I don’t have some unique perspective, but I have ADHD and kids.

    I struggled with ADHD my whole life, thought I was just lazy and incompetent, and then I got diagnosed as an adult. I got on meds, worked through some of my issues a little I guess, and mostly got my life together. Standard ADHD story.

    Twelve years later my wife and I had our first kid. Seven months from now, we’ll be welcoming our third.

    I always wanted kids, but in a vague sort of way. I thought maybe later in life it would be an answer to my cosmic dread and fear of death. I didn’t have strong personal feelings about it, but I always figured I’d have them.

    I love them so much. I’m stressed and frustrated a lot of the time, but overall I’m happy.


  • You seem to be misunderstanding what disability means. ADHD is recognized all over the world as a disability. It is literally a disability.

    There are different degrees of disability. Just because someone can function doesn’t mean they don’t have a disability. You mentioned arthritis. Many people with arthritis can do most things, just with difficulty. Medication can also help them. They’re still disabled.

    June bugs are so annoying. Every April they start slamming their little bodies against the damn back door, and I’m like, what the fuck are you doing?! You’re two months early, you assholes!

    It’s fine when they do it in June, but I have to put up with two months of that early bullshit.







  • B.

    This is a multiple choice test. Once you eliminate three answers, you pick the fourth answer and move on to the next question. It can’t be A, C, or D, for reasons that I understand. There’s a non-zero chance that it’s B for a reason that I don’t understand.

    If there is no correct answer, then there’s no point hemming and hawing about it.

    B. Final answer.
