living in an all adhd household is like

you're sitting there getting ready for your day and suddenly everybody is trying to clean up coffee that spilled all over everything

i actually wrecked my laptop about 10 years ago when i was getting ready to move for grad school and totally killed it. and everybody was like

well you shouldn't have done that

oh well you picked up your computer wrong afterwards

etc etc i am the fool

of course i didn't INTEND to sit down and spill an entire cup of coffee on my computer until it was spilling out the ports, but people like to feel like they would never

today most things seem unscathed
the worst thing about the adhd tax is smarmy people saying "i simply would not have done that" and they can all go to hell
@forestine They absolutely can go to hell. It's selfish, self-soothing behavior on their part that makes them feel better by putting psychological distance between them and you which does not really exist, anyone can and does lose things or mess up or forget stuff no matter how important it is. But some people just need to reassure themselves that they're Better and it, ironically, makes them the worst!
