Just out of curiosity really!

My daughter is 17 months old and I'm aware she's far too young to seek any diagnosis yet, but she has certain traits that my mum said that I also had and I wonder if perhaps she'll be ADHD like me. Im predominantly an inattentive type, and she does things that I do like not holding her attention on one toy/activity for a long time (which is making teaching her milestones tough as she'll soon get bored) or she's being referred for a hearing test even though I'm not sure why - she can hear, but if she's focused on something she won't listen

Luckily maybe because there is more awareness of it nowadays, even nursery have noticed it early so hopefully she'll get better support than I did 🤞

My boyfriend and I have just started couples counselling, it's still early days we've just had our individual sessions before starting to work together

But I'm struggling with hell week and feeling like I don't even want to bother anymore and just throw the towel in (our counselor is aware I get this like)

It's like all the negative aspects are magnified and I don't even want to try saving this relationship. But next week I know I'll change my mind. I'm scared of ending it during an emotional time and regretting it later

The reason for the couples counselling is because I don't feel like he does enough - he works, comes home, does rarely any housework, never cooks just gets the occasional takeout for "his turn to do dinner", just looks after the baby while I do everything. He's off this week and I've been making mental notes of what he actually does around the house. News flash - over the last couple days, nothing. I'm not pushing all the blame though I'm not exactly a clean freak but I just about get time to do the daily jobs - cooking, washing up, bottles etc. I can't even try and think about the positives and as my therapist said - remember why you loved him in the first place. He is a nice guy I know he doesn't do anything to be malicious he's just a manchild. But surely I should give it a chance as we're in therapy?!

I don't know what to do with myself.. I did kick him out once during hell week then a couple days later I missed him and asked him to come home 😬
