Balance, I think, is a hard thing to accomplish with AuDHD and add on top of that, with neurodivergent kids. The hardest thing for me is balancing my avoidant, routine, and social struggling self with my sensory seeking, impulsive, social kid. The times where I want (and need) to have quiet time and be home, they are wanting to go out and play and see friends. Enter mom-guilt and putting the kids first, we carry on and push through and help them have their needs met. But, what does that mean for us? Well, as we edge closer and closer to burnout, taking whatever time we have for our needs is so critical.
