tired gay and dead posted:Uhh I've got middling ADHD but I can cook without burning my house down, it just involves a lot of timers with alarms and podcasts to listen to the whole time. You're supposed to develop coping strategies if your meds don't work well enough, not just shrug and say "well I guess it's fine to start fires all the time lol" From a lifetime of observing my mother wandering off, going upstairs, going outside(?) while cooking, I set rules for myself. No leaving the kitchen, no phone, recipe tablet only if I need it. Music. Stay in the kitchen! Look at the pan! Personally, I probably don't need the rules as stringently as mom but it's good to never find out.

Also if you're too impaired for any reason to be able to use a stove, don't use it. Just like blind people shouldn't get behind the wheel of a car. You have a responsibility to yourself and others to live within the reasonable boundaries of your personal limitations

The first time you walk away from the stove and set off the fire alarm is the last time you get to use the stove unsupervised. As someone who has ADHD I have no sympathy for someone that irresponsible.

Like the guy who's wife was leaving him after 7 years of loving up, including forgetting to pick up their child multiple times while he was playing League of Legends, the person in this story is doing absolutely 0 to manage her condition and is supremely cavalier about nearly burning down a house because "I have ADHD" so the whole idea that she is medicated and in therapy reeks of bullshit. All the other tasks are classic hated chores that no one likes doing so she's also using that as an excuse to not do chores. Sure, you might forget about a dirty plate, but when you see it again later you should think "poo poo, I need to clean this now" and not shrug expecting your partner to pick up after you. oh, also this whole bit quote:I’ve responded to somebody else who asked the same question, but it’s pretty much buried so I’ll paste it here: Before we lived together, she lived with her mother and would hire help around the house (a maid to clean up, a service that would deliver meals for the week, etc...) But that was when she had a full time job, shortly before we moved in together, the stress of her full time job became overwhelming so she switched to a 10hr/week job, which obviously meant that none of the other services became sustainable financially. I work and go to school so I couldn’t afford them either. sounds like she just decided to move in with the hired help pentyne fucked around with this message at 19:06 on May 6, 2022 |

As someone who has ADHD I have no sympathy for someone that irresponsible. LOL years ago, my dad did this while he was watching my dog for the day. I came by to pick my dog up and the house smelled like poo poo, my dog was confused, and my dad was pissed. Turned out he was making some eggs when my dog scratched at the door to go out, so dad just... Left the eggs cooking and took the dog for a walk. This was somehow my dog's fault.

You need to hit back against weaponized mental health with your own weaponized mental health. "Your constant cooking fires are giving me ANXIETY ATTACKS. You need to stop because I have ANXIETY! I've developed a serious phobia around unattended cooking and its impacting my mental health, please respect my conditions"

Just excise from your life them like the tumors they are

This is my favorite genre of story and I never tire of these.  AITA for unlocking my personal items box to teach my snooping father a lesson? quote:I (29M) have a father (67M) who has always been a huge control freak over most aspects of my life. It's always his way, or the highway. Yes, even as I am almost about to turn 30, he always asks questions about things that he finds or that I do with my life. He has consistently went through my personal items as well growing up and even now.

That dishwasher one is a good one, I am equally angry and confused. OP should wash all roommate's dishes by hand if they aren't going to let them use the dishwasher. Gonna go give my dishwasher a big smooch so it knows how much I appreciate it.

People who insist on handwashing their dishes when a dishwasher is available are just the weirdest. No it isn't easier. No it isn't quicker. And it isn't even more ecologically sound. Just stick that poo poo in the washing machine and get on with your life.

Just run the dishwasher with half dirty and half clean dishes, it won't care or use any more water Unless the dishwasher is so full of clean dishes that you can't fit dirty dishes in it, in which case throw out some dishes

And it isn't even more ecologically sound. Just stick that poo poo in the washing machine and get on with your life. I've just never really used a dishwasher myself so it's weird. I also don't make enough dirty dishes per day to fill the dishwasher, but I want to clear my sink of dishes every night before bed (going back to the ADHD thing, I don't know if I have that or anything like it, but I've found the best way to make sure I do the dishes is to make it into a daily routine I don't have to make a decision to do).

Maybe just shift the paradigm entirely and put the dirty dishes up in the cabinet from now on and keep the clean ones in the dishwasher?

It can also kill you or put you in a coma though, so it’s not a good idea to poison someone with it unless you don’t care how it ends and are willing to go to prison.
