The boy will learn, hopefully

Seriously, though, adult life is a LOT, and the longer I spend out of work the more it is driven home to me that modern-day capitalism was built on the assumption that someone would be at home to handle these things.

I took over all the life admin when I quit my job, and it really is a whole entire job in itself. I don't know how I got ANYTHING done when I was working full-time.

I bet most people reading this don't need to hear it, but: please do not use ADHD, OCD or the names of other disorders to describe people's behaviour, even your own, where that disorder is not in fact present.@Artemis201 Oh no, see, I got the Early To Everything habits from my dad. He’d be sitting there in there in the car honking the horn and my mum would be yelling “we don’t have to leave for another fifteen minutes!”

It is not "so OCD" to want to line up your books perfectly and someone isn't "a bit ADHD" because they forget their keys a lot. Someone isn't "totally bipolar" because they have mood swings.
Just saw someone using "ADHD" as, essentially, an insult towards people who can't finish a book series. (A book series I, an ADHD haver, have read twice.) It is WILD to me that people still do this.
