About this episode
In this episode, we talk about setting up our new podcast studio and how that whole process has been equal parts exciting and chaotic. From there, the conversation shifts into something we deal with daily: ADHD in a relationship and what that looks like while raising kids.We share how ADHD shows up differently for each of us and how learning to understand those differences has changed the way we communicate and divide responsibilities. We talk about building simple systems to survive the day-to-day, parenting kids who are encouraged to be themselves, and finding a balance between social lives, activities, and family time.We also reflect on how different childhood looks now compared to when we were growing up, especially with how convenience has reshaped social skills and resilience. At the heart of it all, this episode is about showing up for your partner, your kids, and yourself, even when you’re still figuring it out.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the New Podcast Studio02:55 Understanding ADD in Relationships05:43 Dividing Responsibilities in Parenting08:47 Managing Overwhelm and Daily Routines11:49 The Importance of Structure and Systems14:46 Encouraging Self-Expression in Children17:58 Navigating Social Interactions with Kids20:43 Balancing Extracurricular Activities23:37 Reflections on Childhood Experiences26:35 The Impact of Convenience on Social Skills29:33 Final Thoughts and EncouragementSubscribe to my weekly reflections on SubstackFollow The Tired Dad on InstagramFollow The Tired Mom on InstagramSubscribe to Youtube Follow on TikTokFollow on FacebookFor partnerships, email collabs@tireddad.com
