ADHD can't believe the difference when he's not here!!
OK I have 5 children and am due #6 in sept. My eldest is terminally ill with cancer and my 5 year old is in the process of being diagnosed with ADHD. We have managed to get my 5 year old into an afterschool programme a few days a week and today was the first day he went and :omg: my husband and I went out with the other 4 boys and it wasnt an ordeal even though we had a 9 yr old in a wheelchair a 7 yo 3yo and the 9mth old baby in the buggy. We even went for something to eat!! :cheerteam:
Honestly it was unreal gives me hope that after my 5yo is formally diagnosed life will start becoming a heck of a lot easier, Obviously we have always really had to take my 5yo out with us and to be honest most of the time we avoid going out to avoid the hassle.
Just wondering if anyone else has a ADHD child! do you find their behaviour has an adverse affect on the behaviour of your other children? I had actually forgotten that my other boys are actually little angels and a credit to be seen out with opposed to when my 5yo is with us and I want to crawl into a whole and scream it's not my fault I'm a good mum and I try my best.
The problem with having such a large family is when the kids are badly behaved people put it down to the fact your family is too big and you shouldn't have so many kids cause you obviously can't handle it!
Wonder is I could get t-shirts made saying I'm not naughty I'm ADHD! :pray:
