[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 600101, member: 1550"] Hi there. I think it sounds like more is going on than just ADHD and that your husband has similar issues. These quirks can be inherited. Have you ever taken your son for a comprehensive evaluation? If you haven't, I would. I am a little troubled that you call your son lazy. He is only six years old. Some kids, due to being differently wired in their little brains, CAN NOT focus long enough to get things done. This isn't laziness, but part of a probable disability and it needs work. As you see, your husband, who probably got no help as a child, is not a very happy adult. I think that your son's not eating correctly off a plate is more a social skills lapse than his being defiant toward you. I do think you need to take him to see either a neuropsychologist or a group of evaluators from a university hospital as soon as you can. Putting things off usually just makes the problems get worse. Early intervention gives you the best prognosis. If your husband won't agree, frankly, knowing myself, I'd do it without his consent. Maybe that's bad advice, but I'd put the child before the grumpy husband. He doesn't sound like he wants to help his son or himself at all. It is too bad your husband is so disagreeable. Are you planning on stayiing married t o him, although he is abusing you? Are you in therapy yourself? We're happy to have you on board, b ut are sorry you had to find us... [/QUOTE]
