Why does my child behave for Grandparents only?
My 7 year old daughter was expeled from her school last year for behavior and denied admitance to another when she couldn't focus for one day when she sat in on a class. She really wanted to go to the school she was denied at, but just couldn't behave the way she knew she should. I cannot get any support from my parents on the idea that she is ADHD. She behaves for them, so of course they think it's me and that I am not being a strict enough parent. BTW I am a single parent, with adhd as well. I had to wait until I was an adult before I could get diagnosed, because they thought I was just lazy and procrastinated too much. Now they are treating my daughter the same way. So my questions are: Why does she behave for them? How can I explain to them when they don't see the other side?
Sorry, I'm just emotional about this right now and needed to rant a little...
