Quote From: our4sonsYou are being a bit defensive & that's unfortunate as I was not attacking. Sorry for the confusion.
I was not aware you made any comment about who diagnosed your child. I mentioned that about my child to prove it was real, not just another case of "teacher knows best", if you KWIM.
You're right, your child's diagnosis are more intense than my son's but I do understand your feelings, believe it or not. I do not expect you to "keep him at home all the time to avoid perfect parents" nor have I suggested it, let alone thought it. I do have a hard time believing every time y'all go out he has a melt-down.
Believe me he does it everytime. He will promise to be good and not act up and the very second I say NO to something he starts yelling at me and crying and well it is just plain embarassing. Even a 5 minute trip to the corner store is cause for a fight.
I am sorry if I seem to defensive, but there are just so many people that are ignorant and think that us as parents make up these disorders to excuse our child behaviors. Because I have 2 other kids 13 & 3 that are very very well behaved. It is like night and day with my kids.
I have said the whole "life with these kids is a roller coaster ride" and well I want off this damn roller coaster xause it is making me sick! I lovemy son but there are days when enough is enough. KWIM?
