[QUOTE="TracyEd, post: 161976, member: 2514"] Hi Jules! Just wanted to share a little poem I wrote when my son was seven. I can relate to what you're going through...poor fit? haha take a mom with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and a son with ODD and ADHD and you get a disaster!!! I can't remember who it was who commented that you have to be tough and make the consequences hurt, but it's good advice. Be strong, be the boss, be in control and don't let him see you waiver. You are the parent and you get to teach him what's acceptable. Not the other way around. ODD doesn't necessarily go away, but when your little guy sees that your in charge, he will accept it and it will get easier. My Little Boy Son He wears me out. He drives me wild. He drives me crazy, but he's just a child. He's in trouble all the time, but he's only seven. He can make me cry, but he's my ticket to heaven. I can make it through these childhood years with my sanity intact and quench my fears... my seven year old son, though he's just a boy, will always be my pride and joy. He loves snakes and spiders, and toads and such, though I'm not fond of those things much. I pray to the Lord that I keep on going, as my little boy son keeps growing and growing. All covered in mud, grime, goo and muck, he licks his hands and I think, "YUCK!". He smiles and grins as he runs to play, as I try to not gag and turn away. He's my little boy son, I have only one, he is so much fun, but when all is done, I wonder what price I'll pay, for the joy he brings to my life each and every day [/QUOTE]
