Q: “My husband and I have ADHD, as do our two kids. For the life of us, we cannot have a house that isn’t messy and disorganized.
Every room is a disaster area, from the kids’ rooms to the living spaces. We struggle to remember to put things back to stay organized.
Besides, I can’t even begin to organize everything because it’s too much. When I do manage to clean up, the house becomes a big mess again just a week later.
Help!”Keeping a clean house with ADHD — especially when all household members have it — is an exercise in teamwork. It requires planning, communication, routines, and lots of patience.Especially with kids, talk often about how striving for organization and less clutter helps them and the family.
