adhd.......

ok, so i tried to explain to my middle child this evening that i really DO have a pervasive attention deficit...and that my generalized inattentiveness is genetic/chemical/organic.....and certainly not intentional neglect......that argument didn't go over well......though i am believing this diagnosis more as the hours wear on........anything is better than being responsible for one's children being the way they are because of one's deliberate abandonment.....this is laughable....as if either of my brilliant offspring could prove utter abandonment....this is more a subtle lack of rapt attentiveness.....quite a different thing altogether......the issue waa raised when i could not quote the name of our eldest's winning short story correctly.......the words melded together into a new title altogether.....i kind of like the improved title, by the way......and my rapt...and always correct child was right on top of this error.......as if this error meant something other than my basic inattentiveness....
