    My son has autism. I gave him chores growing up that matched his age and ability level. I did my best to encourage him to develop his own level of independence because I knew that the best thing I could do for him to is to assist him in becoming a self-sufficient human being. Whether your kids are developmentally delayed or not, parents are responsible for teaching their children to become productive members of society. He is now 24 and is doing remarkably well. He's working at a job he loves and is happy and well-adjusted and quite independent. If your child grows up to be productive, independent and can live on their own, you've done your job as a parent!

    Nah!! The ADHD one really wound me up. First of all, real ableist of the friends mother to assume that people with ADHD are so disabled that we can’t do basic chores. We can, it’s hard at times, but we can and we must. Second of all, especially as teenagers, we not only have to learn the general concept of chores and housekeeping but also we have to find ways to do the chores that work for us. This girl has an advantage cause she’s already diagnosed, so this system will inevitably let her figure things out plus she already said she doesn’t mind the system. The friend and the mother are out of line there and you can already see how entitled this friend is. Kudos to the OP for such an great system. I wish I had one of those (grew up with undiagnosed ADHD 😅).

      The mom is also teaching her daughter how to work with her ADHD to get those things done. There’s a reward system and easy and clear reminders around the home. This mom is giving her daughter all the tools she can to help her be successful. Another ADHDer here

    ADHD is sometimes debilitating and can be paired with debilitating conditions. It still doesn't stop people from needing to learn to be responsible adults, and chores can go a long way towards that.

    Story 1: In a Filipino household, we're used into cooking more than expected if there's a guest coming in, so that they can bring home some of it. Still, not a reason to take the food of a pregnant hostess.

    As someone who has ADHD kids IT's a fantastic Idea, I also am a support worker to kids with ADHD etc and THis is definatly something we use. ADHD loves reward, They enjoy doing things and they can Hyper focus and often cleaning is one of those things that can help. Having a list is perfect because it gives her less pressure trying to remember them. Great job mum, don't let anyone tell you different.

      As someone who has a manager at work who has ADHD who literally can not function I think this is amazing. Basically this manager treats everyone with no respect (excluding one associate they like and their 3 superiors) and constantly makes mistakes or just neglects to do their job entirely making the rest of us fix or pick up the slack. They are constantly leaving early or calling out and basically saying that their brain works so differently that they can’t cope like others and nothing can be done.

    15:59 I’m ADD/ADHD and I did chores growing up and I didn’t get paid for them but now it’s safe to say I can hyper focus at work and get task done efficiently and correctly. I do have off days but my coworkers understand how me and my brain work to help me stay being an effective coworker because of things I discovered worked to keep my on task at home when doing chores.

    • @MaryGraceRu
      @MaryGraceRu Рік тому +3

      Exactly. One thing is potentially needing accommodations for those off days (like your coworkers understanding how your brain works). Another thing is to use ADHD as an excuse to not do anything and expect the world to revolve around you, which if what I think the friend of the OP’s daughter already showing to believe in.

  • @bgarciamcclellan

    Chore Story: In my house there were 2 kinds of chores 1. You are part of this family and live here chores ie cleaning your bathroom, taking out trash, etc things that help with the mess you make as a member of the household and family. 2. Optional extra chores - things that make you money. We gave our son an allowance that was based on age, participation in school & sports, and completing the bulk of #1 chores. This was given biweekly and was mostly based on behavior and school because he was a very busy athlete so consistency in chores was more difficult especially during seasons. However if he wanted to earn extra money he knew he could do extra chores to earn money and we would add that to his allowance. We decided on giving the allowance regardless of amount of chores because of his busy schedule with sports and other activities, we wanted him to learn to budget and as an only child we did not want him to feel that he could/would/should just get what he wanted when he wanted. So the set allowance that could and was taken away when the attitude was bad. But also the opportunity to say hey I can go out and rake the leaves for $2 a pile and make some extra money. BTW he also has High Functioning Anxiety along with sensory issues so not exactly neuro-typical over here.
    As far as using the ADHD as a disability - that actually does not surprise me. I am a Gen-Xer with an 18yr old child so that should give you an idea of my age LOL Anyway - when I was growing up I had a friend who lived down the street, one day her mom calls us in and sits me down very seriously at their table. She wants to talk to me about my friend B. You see there was something that I needed to know about B, something that made her different. Something that made it important that I was kinder, gentler, more patient with B. My 9 year old brain is going crazy thinking she has some kind of condition and hoping that none of the games we had played had hurt her. Nope, B was dyslexic, yup dyslexic. When I went home and talked to my mom she pointed out the other people in my life who were also dyslexic that were all just fine. She fully explained to me what it meant. Me being a well above grade level reader who had always been asked to help thought it was great that we were friends that I would be able to help her. Nope, that was not a thing, she could not be helped. I couldn’t help her she was gonna live with this the rest of her life and I should never bring this up again because it was mean to brag about how well I could read. So long story long she believed she couldn’t do, be, achieve anything because of her dyslexia and she barely graduated high school. My other friends with dyslexia, all successful in their careers.
    I feel sad for that girl whose mom thinks that her ADHD is a disability. I have so many amazing people in my life with ADHD - most if not all extremely successful in their lives and careers. All because no one ever told them it was a disability or let them believe it was.
    Good job to the OP for teaching her daughter how to LIVE with ADHD not suffer from it.

  • @jessicarose0528

    Story 5: Idk how people come to be married to a spouse that is still under a parent's thumb. I would be surprised to learn that he showed no other red flags when it comes to his mother. Usually most MILs aren't dumb enough to demand to hold a newborn b4 the parents. I can only imagine the levels to which she will try to intrude with the baby. Hubby better get on the same page as OP & quick or get to steppin'. I'd be dragging him.to couples counseling so someone outside the situation can referee. I think OP said nothing when husband 1st tried telling her he'd keep MIL out of delivery in order for her to be 1st to hold the baby because she knew there was no reasoning with him. That was another mistake because he took her silence to mean agreement & she had to know he would do that because of how he was speaking. He wasn't leaving room for her to say no & wasn't asking. Fair if she just didn't want to keep talking about it in that moment but the issue was never resolved & they thought they got their way. No bueno. This is another red flag for controlling behavior-for which it appears he got from mommy dearest. I hope OP is okay & found peace in this situation.

    I personally have ADD and my middle son has ADHD. You will have responsibilities as an adult that you can't run away from. You have to learn ways to do what you need to do. My son absolutely has chores. It may mean I have to basically hold his hand while he does it sometimes but I still hold him responsible. He has chores he does simply because he is a part of this house and he has optional chores for an allowance

    I can relate with the chores part for story 3, my family usually made me and my brother have chores (we had chore charts on the fridge but we took them down a while ago since we don’t use them anymore) and we used to never get money for them the only reason why we started to get money was because I cleaned a huge pile of dishes (our stove and counter had piles of it due to us being behind with a bunch of stuff going on) and I ended had to somewhat clean a huge pot of moldy spaghetti to the point I couldn’t even finish it and my dad had to clean the rest but my mom paid me because of how big the task was. Causing a domino effect where my brother would ask for money when he did chores since he found out I got some. The whole money part can be not even an option for some people, like my close friend cleans her whole house due to how her family is and they see it as something she has to do or else the house will never be clean (I won’t go too much into detail with that due to certain details)

    No chores because of ADHD? My great-grandson (8) has autism. My granddaughter, his mother, has him and the other 2 boys (7 and 5) do chores. These chores are on their individual white boards. These boys can wash dishes, vacuum, make beds, general clean-up. They get paid with monopoly money that their parents let them exchange for special or extra treats and also teach them how to save to get something special at the store (toy, game, whatever). The 8 YO is the most helpful of all. He appreciated the ability to make extra "money" and the concept of saving is exciting to him. ADHD an excuse? Pu....lease......

My siblings were mostly grown up and had no issues, but as an adult I'm now trying to work out how to cook and basically adult. I wish I was given chores and shown how to do things even though teenage me would have bitched about it. BTW my dad worked overseas and was not involved in parenting duties as he didn't have a paternal bone in his body.

    Bill Reduction - I typically agree with your assessment of the ascon scale but I completely disagree with you on this one. No person deserves to be harassed for doing their job. I understand the company had made choices but support all the way to the board were no responsible for these decisions. I think I am with the boyfriend on this because of the tone and nature of how the people were treated. You didn’t see the emails and there could have been a significant amount of vulgarity or threats. We are responsible for our actions in a vacuum (only responsible for yourself). Would you treat people this way without the bill? No? Then you shouldn’t treat people that way. End of story. I think he should be grateful but I think she did go overboard. Ascon 4 to both.
