[QUOTE="Simion, post: 762328, member: 29037"] ADHD could easily be at the root of this issues. Many children with mental health issues have these very same issues & for a variety of reasons, attention span, sensory issues, cognitive functioning deficits. As well children who have been sexually abused have much difficulty in this area of hygiene. Laziness is not the answer & to receive such a response is invalidating & trivializes a problem that many children, teens & young adults with mental health issues struggle with. Certainly it’s frustrating, what isn’t when it comes to having a child with mental health issues. Could it be that your son like you was feeling the excitement of having “ the best day “& due to his ADHD was over stimulated leading to lack of focus & the completion of a task that is second nature to someone who does not have this mh issue. I speak from lived personal experience of ADD & have raised 3 children with ADHD. If I as an adult can’t remember what I went in to another room for, does that make me lazy. This is an 11 year old child. I’ve been at wits end many times before, to the point of tears at least a thousand times. When the situation gets to that point I need a time out. A minute to breath, to begin to think logically again, to consider my child/children's struggle & regroup. My children didn’t stand in line & sign up for this, they deserve the best of me. They deserve love & compassion & yes that’s in short supply when your cleaning up :censored2: or washing bloody garments & sheets. Dam the day I ever look at my child/ children with such dishonor as to label them lazy. That is an old post you replied to. I hope others with this shared experience will acknowledge your experience & pain with compassion & share what they have done. [/QUOTE]
