I happen to be talking to a TD about something else and during the conversation my son's condition came up.He asked me about the allowance.
He told me to re-apply and write down a full description of dealing with my son for a day from the moment he gets up to when he goes to bed...so i wrote a two foolscap page description and sent it off...I now have been awarded the allowance...
i'm also a mother of 3 and my youngest son has ADHD....so i can totally empatise with you....but hopefully knowing that you are not alone now even on this site will bring you some comfort...
It's extremely hard trying to get them all to school in the morning before i go to work and i can't leave him to even dress himself alone, it just wouldn't happen....
I've recently found a great method though that really seems to be working.. if theres something he really wants (this time it's to have my friends great dane dog stay overnight with us) well he has two weeks. everyday if he gets 10 strikes (1 everytime he does something wrong)he gets an X. if in the two weeks he gets 5 X's then the dog won't stay.
please drop me a line anytime if you want to chat.
Because I'm only on the site a week (and one day)I found it hard trying to put CS names with people's real names..So if i came across stupid thats my exuse....
i'm up since 7,,got the kids to school,,two of them are doing mocks at the moment...then i went to work for a while and then had a dental filling.... trying to have a lobsided cuppa at the moment...poor me....will take any TLC going.
when i finished college i worked in connemara as was very embarrassed that i couldn't speak my mother tongue..
My kids have and are going through irish speaking schools and it's great.. our country has become so multi-cultural we can loose all our true identity if we're not careful...
it was brilliant, i felt reall welcome and realised when i got there a lot were in the same boat as me.....
anyhow,,,i'm exhausted, even though i wasn't drinking i only got home at 10am this morning...met other friends downstairs, dropped them home, went in for coffee and chat etc....(sorry no scandal)
that thread really created some unusual emmotions....
I didn't think a comment about heels could get some-one so emotional.....but you live and learn
Anyhow,,,,,getting back to the original thread....i do like my self. when my marriage broke up i mightn't have said that but now i have had plenty of time to get to know me and for all my faults i'm a pretty good person.
i'm honest and open minded and not afraid to stand up for what i believe in
