[QUOTE="loricbme, post: 62564, member: 2036"] Yesterday I brought up to hubby about pursuing more info about difficult child. That things haven't got better over the past few years, that things are worse. That she is in school now and things will only get worse for her if she doesn't get some help. I do not want her to become a social outcast. His response was..."Ok, I understand but...She is not going on medications... ever" If any of you read my post a few days ago when I wrote that I hadn't told husband that difficult child went to my counseling appointment. and counselor said, "she has ADD written all over her". I predicted this exact response. He is not active at all in trying to find help for her. He leaves all of that up to me along with every household duty. He would not read The Explosive Child even though I highly recommended he read it. So, my big vent is this... He said, "I think you're just doing this to try to get out of going back to work because it is going to take you time to research and see doctors" WTF??? Are you kidding me? Does he think I really WANT to do all of this? I lost my job 3 years ago when difficult child was 4 and we decided to try me staying home with difficult child since she was first starting to show signs that there were problems. Might I also add that husband doesn't help me do anything at home. It's all up to me whether I'm working outside of the home or not. I just cannot understand his thinking. Thanks for reading this vent. Lori [/QUOTE]
