This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Having someone who's dependent on your care can absolutely be a driver for kicking executive dysfunction's butt! For me it was my first child. She'd wake up in the middle of the night and I'd try everything except for the diaper and save the diaper for absolute last because I didn't want to change it, and it was just a little wet so it was fine. Quickly learned that was just a waste of time and forcing me to be zombie awake for longer so I finally just stopped putting it off and would change her diaper as one of the first steps of the middle of the night wakeup routine. Routine complete much faster and with much less laying back down and then getting back up.
