Managing the Mayhem: ADHD and the Veteran Mom

Where new motherhood is a tornado, veteran motherhood with ADHD is a never-ending juggling game—school drops and missed field trips, snacks to pack and doctor's appointments to rearrange, and that pile of clean laundry on the couch for three days.

The truth?

ADHD is not less with age—it just becomes more sneaky.

And a few years into motherhood, you will find you see how that forgetfulness, impulsivity, or short temper is not merely an issue of a "mom brain."

It is the ADHD you've carried around your whole life, now wearing a supermom cape and asking for a break.

For most of us, being an ADHD veteran mom is also a feeling of disappointing someone on a daily basis.

There is the guilt: missing spirit day, not reading emails from school, spacing out during your kid's grand tale about playground gossip.

Your care is genuine—it's just your brain is a decade in on mental multitasking.

Let's get real here, the expectations just pile up.

You're cooking healthy dinners, helping with homework, organizing birthday parties, working on your own career, and cleaning the house, AND having time for self-care?

That's a three-person, full-time job.

How do seasoned ADHD mothers keep it all together?

• Systems, not willpower. Don’t rely on memory. Use reminders, set automatic billing, and use family calendars with your spouse or older children.

• Understand your cycles. Mornings are crazy, but evenings are calmer. Organize your to-do list based on the energy levels of your brain.

• Don't compare. Your neighbor's Pinterest-perfect party is not your territory—and that is just fine.

• Impose your manner upon your children. Tell them you do things differently, and it is fine to ask you to remind them or to repeat themselves.

• Celebrate what you DO get done. Getting everybody out the door (sort of in clothes) is a triumph.

Veteran ADHD mothers have a silent shame, a feeling that by now, we should have this sorted.

But the reality is, working with ADHD is not about being perfect—it's about creating systems that serve you and letting go of those that don’t.

We require more conversations about what ADHD looks like as you age, not fewer.
