Asking here rather than r/relationships because this is a problem unique to parenting. My husband and I are getting into a pattern where there is usually something heavier that needs to be discussed before bed, as the entire rest of the day is spent parenting. He has ADHD so often these are repeats of previous topics that weren't followed through to resolution or efforts to resolve the patterns underlying repeated discussions.Obviously this adds tension to sandwich all the business/unfun stuff into our 2 hours between kids' bedtimes and our own, especially since it takes away time for other things I know he considers to be very important.How do other couples do it? How do you squeeze in all the logistics, reminders, value difference discussions and parenting conversations into the tail end of the day and still preserve any sort of positive relationship?Also how do you keep track of the issues that need to be talked about when many hours may pass before you have a chance to talk? I can't really follow the idea of "if it important enough you will remember" due to the side effects of being married to someone with ADHD. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2iGyO76
