[QUOTE="Stress Bunny, post: 135280, member: 4855"] Thanks everyone for listening. I know the mud thing doesn't sound like a big deal, and I guess it really isn't. I'm just so tired all the time chasing after difficult children. I believe both of our difficult children were exposed to nicotene in utero, but nothing else. I am satisfied with their diagnoses. Their ADHD and lack of self control, combined with the defiance is a lot to take. It's too bad they both have these conditions, as it takes its toll on everyone. In fact, grandmas, grandpas, aunts, and uncles avoid spending time with them unless hubby and I are there to monitor everything, as the boys are looked upon as too difficult to handle. We don't have a babysitter, we aren't able to go to church, shopping centers, movies, or restaurants as a family. We don't go on vacations, and we don't invite people over very often. It just usually ends in disaster anyway. So, I've come to accept that this is our life, and it will be for years to come. It's a hard road, but the boys aren't PCs, and it's unreasonable to expect that they should be. I love them so much, I just need a break sometimes, and there is never any relief or rest. This is especially glaring this week, since I've been sick. I guess I harbor some resentment, as I find myself so upset when a coworker asks what our family will be doing for fun on the weekend or something, and all I can think of in my mind is, "Survive!"
