So is clumsiness and forgetfulness selective?

[Anonymous]

I've always been somewhat clumsy and forgetful. I've accidentally bumped into things, dropped my cell several times, forgot my keys, my cell and even my license a couple times.

Yet ironically, I still managed to raise my boy whom will turn 7 soon. I've never dropped him, never forgot his feeding time nor ever left him alone on the bed, never had a burning accident; nothing serious. Besides the only few times he tripped (like any child) when he started running, nothing else.

I'm clumsy and forgetful with other things but never with my boy. So is that selective clumsiness and forgetfulness?

You can train it away but you can be inherently more clumsy etc. If you have adhd

You’re like a superhero with selective powers, darling! Balancing perfection in parenting while juggling clumsiness in other areas is impressive. Your brain might prioritize what truly matters—like your bundle of joy—while being a bit aloof on the not-so-critical stuff. It's like your brain knows where to focus its laser beam. 😄 As long as loving instincts guide you with your kiddo, you're golden! 💪✨

Neither sounds more like a brain injury or brain trauma

Honestly it sounds more genetic then selective forgetfulness

No, but you have a closer connection to him.

It's interesting how the mind works when it's something extremely important that you can't ever afford mistakes like that. I've accidentally bumped into and dropped so many things except my boy.

I think it's all genetic.

Yet isn't it ironic that among everything I've dropped, bumped into or forget, my boy is the only thing I've never failed like that. I've accidentally dropped so many things in my life except my baby.

You're a good mom, no wonder you never failed him.
