it always embarassed me growing up that our house was kind of dirty.
like i avoided bringing women over and shit because of the clutter.
i cant be the only one who grew up like this.

I'm 100% convinced my whole family has ADHD. We never had a clean house. My siblings and myself all have been diagnosed. None of us had clean rooms. Even my parents had piles of cloths in their room. They would do laundry but never put it away. The sink was always full of dishes. Nothing had a place, and there was never enough places anyway. I know my at least one of my friends in highschool thought our place was filthy and would talk about it when I wasn't around.
Today its the same. Over the years they've had 4 houses and they all were like that. Their current house is probably the smallest and also the cleanest. Dishes still piled in the sink and overflowing to the counters. Bed still covered in cloths.
For me though, having undiagnosed ADHD until I moved out, it was just normal. It never registered to me as weird. My house is nothing like those houses growing up. It's not clutter free, but cloths are put away, dishes are done regularly.
Sounds exactly like my experience. I too had the friends talking behind my back about how dirty my house was.
I know both my parents probably have adhd.
im back home and realizing just how messy shit is.
i love them, but i hate the mess.
