[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 94589, member: 3444"] Yup -- I've got a mother in law who said the same thing this summer when difficult child 2 was going through a medication wash and starting up the Depakote for his mood disorder, and things around here were, shall we say -- "chaotic". She said that his problem was that we weren't being consistent or firm enough with him. Ha! I just had to laugh to myself -- so bad parenting was why he has ADHD and something that looks a lot like Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP)! Man, why were we wasting all this money on medications and psychiatrists and therapy when all he needed was a boot up his butt and consistent rules?! Gosh! To think my years of college and a professional career and then parenting difficult child's were no match for her highschool education and years of cranking out 5 babies starting at the age of 18 and her two years of working at Walmart? How could I be so dumb and not have consulted her sooner?
