Ceasefire Tactics: Using Brain Science to End the Chore Wars in ADHD Relationships

Sick of the constant skirmishes over household chores in your ADHD relationship? 

I feel you!  It’s exhausting!  The never-ending resentment, score-keeping, snide remarks, and withheld comments make you want to run back to bed, pull the covers over your head, and wait for Mary Poppins to sweep in and wave her magic umbrella!

But ADHD brains in relationships– especially when paired with neurotypical partners– are particularly built for this exact kind of conflict.  This makes ADHD relationships feel like they are constantly on the battleground of the Chore Wars, leaving both partners feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle of feeling unappreciated and unseen. 

In this excerpt from the Webinar, Loving ADHD, hosted in a joint collaboration between Rittenhouse Psychological Services and ADDept.org, we explore the unique brain differences that underlie this difficult dynamic.

But fear not, because this video isn't just about identifying the quirks that fuel those conflicts; it's about discovering ingenious solutions that will have you dancing around the house with joy!

Get ready to explore how the beautiful differences between ADHD and non-ADHD brains can actually become superpowers in setting up systems that not only reduce conflict but also celebrate each other's unique strengths. 

So grab your popcorn, settle into your comfiest spot, and prepare to be entertained, enlightened, and inspired by this fantastic video on how to end the chore wars in our ADHD relationships. Let's embark on this adventure together!

And then.  Once that oh-so-much-more-than-pesky issue of Chore Wars has been tackled, sign up, and I’ll send you the full webinar where we tackle the 2 other biggest issues in ADHD relationships: big emotions and feeling unseen and unheard.


Not a video watcher?  I’ve got ya!  There’s a full transcript below 😀
