Hi all, I'm a defence wife and mum of four from Australia. My eldest has profound global developmental delay, sensory defensive and autistic tenancies, the next in line Mr 6 is ODD, possible ADHD (which i think is wrong, personally i think aspergers) and just a treasure to deal with , then there's Miss 3 who is just starting to be an issue, the youngest is still too young to be an issue so here's hoping she'll be easy to cope with.
Mr 6 leaves a trail of destruction wherever he goes at home, has slashed lounges, beds, curtains, kicked holes in walls, broken windows, savagely bit his older brother repeatedly, destroys his toys, breaks my things when he is angry, hurts his siblings for sh*Tourette's Syndrome and giggles, uses his room like a toilet, and the list goes on.
Miss 3 is starting to copy his behaviour but I think she is more learnt behaviour than actual problem.
I came upon this group and thought I'd stop in as I am at the end of my rope. My house is just a bomb shelter, the kids are always killing one another and I have a husband who just adds to the stress these days with constant yelling. All my mates have perfectly well behaved kids so really I have no one who understands that my house maybe a mess but I have been run ragged all day cleaning up the mess that my difficult child's have deliberately been throwing around the house.
Their best combined effort was when they threw a 4L tin of paint around the house and ruined the carpet upstairs and down. That little stunt cost me $5k as it is not our house we rent.
Well sorry it's so long, but that is a bit about my life. I hope I can make some friends in here with people who understand there a just days you want to scream and say things you don't mean just to vent and not have some well meaning friend/family member tell you that you shouldn't be saying that, or yelling blah blah blah....
