[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 372919, member: 1872"] Hi ML, This is just my personal opinion based on where I'm at. Lately I've been making some decisions based solely on the energy that I have to carry them out. GFG13 has some executive function issues that could definitely be worked on -- I went to initial appointments for neurofeedback for him, but haven't followed up because I don't have it in me. I just don't want to. My difficult child is stubborn too -- he begged me to take him to the doctor for a cough and ear infection, but he has so many somatic complaints I kind of waited awhile and tried to take care of it with robitussin, home remedies, chest rubs, etc. He ended up on amoxicillin and an inhaler (wheezing) but then refused to take the inhaler. Today I was so fed up, I told him if he didn't use the inhaler I was going to call the Dr. tomorrow and difficult child would have to go back and get a big shot in the butt :~) He used the inhaler then. Anyway if your manster is stubborn and it will be a series of battles, is it really worth it? Can it wait until he is more invested and wants to do something about it? At this point in my journey I am not undertaking any projects that will suck me dry, waste my time with therapy appointments or cost too much. I'm letting myself off the hook as much as possible. ML, hope this helps. I don't know manster well and I don't know much about speech therapy. I do know what it's like to have a kid whose needs never end. Right now I'm just saying "uncle" for awhile. lots of hugs, you'll make the right decision, or make no decision for awhile. Plus school's coming -- can you add any extra to your usual school routine without completely undermining the family balance? We can't. "Uncle." [/QUOTE]
