[QUOTE="nlwright, post: 290683, member: 7551"] i'm sorry i have very little experience when it comes to ADD (we are in the process of diagnosing my son's ODD). first i want to say kudos to you for putting yourself through school like that, it certainly can't be easy. whatever you do don't drop out. it is so much harder to get back into it once you've gotten out of it so hang in there! do you live near any extended family members? i don't know what i would do without my mother in law! she is there every once in a while to take our son overnight or out for an afternoon of special activities. this gives me a desperately needed break! with your small children and what must be a rigorous school schedule you probably have zero time for yourself. it helps so much if you can have even two hours to yourself to relax and regroup. my ability to deal with my son is severely cut down when i am not properly rested and fed. even if a good friend could come and take just one of your kids for an afternoon or evening it could make a huge difference for you. my parents were often fond of saying "one is like none when you have three!" if you're anything like me you are probably reluctant to "inflict" your children on someone else :winking:. i had to learn to get over that. my friends and family have been a huge help and very supportive. mothers, in the midst of caring for others, often forget to care for themselves (it's definitely a challenge for me!) but if we don't care for ourselves eventually we have nothing left to give. good luck!
