[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 559107, member: 11791"] Malika... medications. It's not the end of the world. I've been on Ritalin for years now, and I haven't had a SINGLE side-effect. But everyone in our family knows that if Mom is going off the deep end... she's either short on sleep, or needs her medications. The medications give me a quality of life that I cannot know otherwise. Schedule. During the week, things are more predicatable. On, the weekend? Face it... you are a bit of a free spirit, and that collides with J's need for (not desire for... LOL) structure. But one of the absolutely key factors is... enough calories and fluids, frequently enough. Even K2 - my almost-easy child (most of the time) - can only handle two of the three major stressors: hungry, tired, over-stimulated... all three, and she's as "done" as any full-blown difficult child. (difficult child can only handle ONE... i.e. hungry is fine, but not hungry and tired, or hungry and over-stimulated, etc.) [/QUOTE]
