So was it really solo parenting, and how much parenting did he actually do?Episode Highlights:Hen do vs home chaos: Donna’s away, Adam’s in charge… sort of.We talk about what it’s really like being alone with a 2-year-old toddler and what makes us completely lose our heads.How ADHD shows up in solo parenting:Executive functioning overloadEmotional dysregulationSensory overload and constant noiseWhat Donna does differently with her “neuronormal” brain that makes it look like a walk in the park. Is it really easier, or just different wiring?We agree: solo parenting is hard for anyone – ADHD just changes the texture of it.The mental load, the guilt, the pressure to “do it right,” and how ADHD parents can feel like they’re constantly dropping the ball (even when they’re not).5 Minute Moans:Adam vs the pile of washing that’s literally blocking his TV viewing pleasure.Adam’s incredible ability to lose something he had in his hand 10 seconds ago – keys, remote, you name it.We finish with our good, bad and ugly stories – all parenting themed this week. We’re so grateful for the stories you’ve already shared, and we’d love more.
