LOLYeah just don't show up in the gym in the AM and interrupt my "git rid of dessert time"...nothing could be worse than gym photos...
Uhhhhi had that thought too
Think of it as normal for a kid with ADHD/ODD...
DH refused to have any more kids...in case #2 would have turned out worse...
Well we hadn't a clue what we were in store for when we had Robert. (she was almost 4 when he was born). She was THE bestest most obediant sweet child in the world up until about age 5 when the trouble started a little (diagnosed at age 5 but wasn't a "big issue" requiring meds to help until 3rd grade/age 8 almost 9)..... mostly related to school at that age all the sudden having multiple teachers instead of just ONE all day -who would know how to deal with her.. multiple teachers with many unwilling to do anything to help her (ie: give her busy work when she finished work faster than anyone else- to keep her from getting out of seat, talking, etc.) but it wasn't ONLY related to that- her hyperness & ODD hit ultimate status at that time too. LOL
And we also weren't going to have more than just our girl and boy.. but then we had an "accident" and I got pregnant- and miscarried later but by that time we were set in our minds on having that 3rd child- so after the miscarriage we kinda let another 'accident' happen on purpose (haha- that means not literally TRYING but if it happened, it happened) and she did about 9mo later (got pregnant 9mo later- not have her 9mo later!) and along came our Rita.
(ps. found out later Jeff is bipolar.. which ups the chances of having kids with ADHD and such)
Oh btw I forgot to also mention- as far as similarities go- she's also into the "black clothes" and can't figure out why. She can't wear ALL black mostly because of the school uniform but she makes do with black polos, black belt, black boots. she is not at all depressed or moody like that- just decided she likes black...
