I have 2 kids one is 8 & has adhd. One is 4 & I suspect she has it too. My year old is very physically active & he takes meds @ school. My little one Has just started pre-k & is with me most of the day. I am so thankful for the 2 hour break I get. My daughter talks non stop. She is so cute. If she is tired ,cranky , jealous or just not getting her way she is sooooo mean She screams. I was recently diagnosed with adhd myself at 30. My husband might have it too. I can't even go there. He does not want my son on meds. He will not read about add. he will not talk with me about it. When I was first diagnosed I talked a blue streak about add. I love to read & learn & understand & discuss it with others. They . Who is they ? My Husband,mother-in law,mom,dad& his girlfriend. I feel like I TALK TOO MUCH. I am so SAD. My husband is working on furthering his career. Most nights he is at school. The house is mine to run. I like it that way. However when I try to talk about my problems he says I complain.UGGH. So I keep it all bottled in until i explode or overeat or yell at the kids & create little miss divayeller. i know she gets it from me. The flip side of this is that when Hubby is PRO-ACTIVE he is harmful to the routine I have worked sooo hard to create & maintain.Then we fight . I can't wait for him to go out & I am a single parent again. I live in a small apartment. my munchkins share a small room. Princess won't stop talking. Tigger won't stop bouncing. meanwhile I am attempting to feed my creative impulses as well as my need for order & a little less chaos . 1.Homework has to get done 2.Dinner has to get made & served 3.dinner cleaned up(maybe even off the floor)4.Showers have to be taken (one for each kid)5.Hair dried 6.Pj's put on 7.clothes for tomorrow picked out 8.The toys have got to get put away . along the way I have got to stop & remind.them what they are to do . Maybe to sit down with food in their mouths. no jumping on th furniture I have to deal with the arguing,fighting & tattling. I do it all & then some . I also wait on Hubby hand & foot when he is here. I like to take care of him & them. I like it when it is also returned. 20/80 would be nice. I think I get 5/95. I feel resentful & low. i want to be a good mom. i want to accept my limits as a person with add. I don't really get add. I do not have anyone who tells me what they see.I want life to stop feeling hard when i am home. it feels so much like a JOB HELP I know I ranted . I did have questions for the best bedtime ideas. lemme know
