Hello Everyone,
Im a new member here and found you on Google. I am a stay at home mom with 10 year old twins. Both twins have been diagnoised with ADHD. I beleive Stephanie also has an anxiety/depression disorder and Christopher is the one that is most frustrating at the moment. I am convinced he has ODD and ADHD and on a daily basis while at home he is pooping his pants and then leaves them in his room.
He usually does this when he is on the computer and is focused on that or playing video games. Do I take these items completely away from him? Im so beyond frustrated with washing clothes only to have them still smell like poop and I shouldnt have to be rinsing out underwear in the toilet for a child that is 10 years old. He has been checked out by a physicain and they have found no medical problems.
He is on Strattra and an antidepressant which has seemed to help him at school. His teacher is very happy with his behavior at school for the most part. We have had rare times of breakdowns this year then in the past. I need to note he does not seem to have this problem at school but only at home.
My husband does not help the situation and I have tried to talk to him about how to handle it but to be honest I am so beyond frustrated at the moment that I have to pick my battles and pick the ones that cause less stress for me. I also have Lupus so it doesnt make it any easier around here with Christopher doing this.
Any ideas on what I can do to help the situation. I know a schedule would help. Maybe get a timer so that resets every hour and he has to try to go to the bathroom?
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you if anything for letting me vent and listening.
