18. ADHD and the family dinner pressure. Chats with Shantelle Poynter (Part 2)

I was supposed to be interviewing Shantelle but we became instant friends and went OFF TOPIC hardcore. Part 2 in the Coffee chats with Shantelle- I'd go to Part 1 first. Topics covered: - Are ADHD Mum's the WORST at self care? and why is that? - Who created all the expectations on families to have dinner with their kids every night as a family and how bloody hard is that to do. - We can create a safe haven for our kids to come home to after experiencing a world unfriendly to neurodivergent people. - If we had of known about our diagnosis earlier, would we have natured ourselves or squashed ourselves? are we just TOO MUCH? - Is ADHD hyper focus a super power or is it like a were wolf where it only comes out when the stars align, moon is full, wind is blowing right. The rest of the time ADHD is an absolute pest. - Is there any group of people that looks after themselves LESS than ADHD Mums? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jane-mcfadden/message
