Where, and What To Do Now?
Quote From: abbizdreammy 2 year old wakes up crying evey morning. she throws fits and I dont even know why. she was always a high matinence baby, but things are getting worse. she gets stuck a million times a day( like she has already gotten stuck under her sisters walker since i have been writing) some people think she has signs off ADHD. I cant seem to get her on any kind of schedual, Especially since our home burnned down last week, we lost everything and didnt have renters insurance. now my husband, our 2 girls and I are borrowing my brothers room. Eden Grace (my little wild child) is having a hard time getting settled in. I feel like I am battling it out with her all day, trying to get our family business in order, and making sure Gabby (our 1 year old) is getting all that she needs. I can really understand where you are coming from, except for the lose of the home. I myself have a 12 yr old son that is MHMR (he has the mental capacity doctors say of a 5yr old) he is also ADHD. I also have a 16 month old daughter that gets into and out of everything, I also have a 3 month old daughter. I battle it out every day with my son, and Cortney (the 16 month old), they are both so afraid the other or the baby will get more attention then the other. At times my son has gotten violent towards Cortney, as he has also been violent towards our small dog as well, all of this just for attention. In turn our daughter has started also hitting the dog, and our son will turn and laugh and think its all funny. I keep trying to get Cortney on a regular schedule, but its hard cause she likes to try and change it at her whim, she does not like daddy holding the baby, she thinks it should be only him holding her, and that she should be center of attention at all times, and if not she has litterally thrown herself backwards on the floor and throw a screaming tantrum, she has got her legs caught many times in the bars of her crib just because we may not come fast enough when she wakes up screaming. There has been times I have got so mad at my husband because when I have punished her and she's throwing a huge ordeal of a tatrum, and I am ignoring her, he will come in and swaddle her up, and love on her. Which demises me as authority figure, and in turn tells her its ok to act this way. I am at times at my wits end with her and my son. I just try and take it all on a day to day bussiness, and as it comes to me. I don't know what else to do.
