Cool Mom Poll: Parental ADD
A friend just sent me one of those chain emails that is a witty bit about having ADD as an adult. Of course the problem I have with the email is that it's too long! That's partly my comedic training: If the set-up is too long, you have lost your audience.
But maybe it's because I do have a shorter attention span.
I think I've always been an impatient, cut-to-the-chase person, but motherhood sped things up. If a friend calls during some five minutes of peace I have because my little one has just found a bright, shiny object… in the old days, I could have yapped a while. Now I have to use my moments efficiently.
Or maybe I have early dementia and can't keep too many thoughts in my head at once. So this week I want to ask you if you ever feel like you've got adult-onset ADD? And is it parenthood that did it to you? Let me know in the poll below, and I'll reveal the results on Friday:
I think I'm in the middle ground. I'd have to say I am more patient - seeing as how I've never assaulted anyone, but I forget everything. Thank God for blackberry and computer calendars and notes on my hand, because nothing would ever be found or done.
yes, that makes sense. I should have put that as an option.
"forgetful, but no assaults"
