[QUOTE="topsyturvy, post: 199367, member: 6005"] Thank you all for your responses, at least now I don't feel like I have totally lost it. He is 9 years old, is in 4th grade and is doing the saxon math method. When he actually applies himself he can excel at the math. We did get him diagnosed by a private physician and it was a long process. We also went through extensive therapy with him in which we still use the same techniques in the house. He is not on any medication at this point but that is going to change here really soon. My husband didn't want him on them anymore but now he has come to realize that maybe he needs them. So back to the doctor I go. We do not notice anything out of the ordinary here at home. We can handle his behavior here at home but it's when he hits school that he starts this stuff. In fact we had a major issue with homework tonight. I also noticed that when dad is around he turns on the water works and turns it into a major theatrical performance. But as soon as dad went to bed he got his homework done the way it should have been done in the first place. It's just so frustrating and getting the extended family to follow suit is hard to do. We have issues with my husbands mother not making excuses and blaming everyone else but where the blame lies. She undoes everything we try to do and try to accomplish. [/QUOTE]
