[QUOTE="Malika, post: 542943, member: 11227"] Well, I was more worrying about the not-good days than the good ones, lol. I am bound to be confused, I think... J is sometimes mature and co-operative, sometimes the complete opposite. Maybe it's foolish to expect consistency in an 'otherwise-wired' child, I don't know. And, of course, following yesterday's good day, today was pretty not good... he slept well but has all day been whiney, tantrumy, complainy... quite rude and disrespectful. But if I get cross with him, he immediately collapses into "babyish" crying, saying "I didn't mean to Mummy!", etc. Big tantrumy crying when we left the friends we saw this afternoon. I dunno. I feel he needs something I am not giving, cannot give, him.... men? A father presence? A more complete network of family and friends? His identity is fragile, his self-esteem not assured and it's not really to do with the ADHD though of course that doesn't help. [/QUOTE]
