[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 61607, member: 3837"] Amber-Today was just husband and I talking to the neuropysch. He gave us some paperwork to fill out about the boys. Hes going to meet them all next Wednesday, he said each visit should take about 2 hours. He thinks my oldest and youngest difficult child display some characteristics of aspergers (sp?) from what my husband and I say about things they do. He thinks middle difficult child may just be ADHD. He referred us to 2 pyschiatrists for us to try someone different than the doctor we've been seeing. Todays visit was 2 1/2 hours of questions and talking. I had written a list of all the "symptoms" my boys have and the doctor asked tons of questions too. As for my dad, I went and told him under no uncertain terms is he to ever speak to me that way again. This is my house and he will treat me with respect. We discussed my issues with husband present, husband all the time on my side, but trying to soften the blow with dad. My dad sincerely apologized and explained he felt he was on the attack. In some ways, he was. The kids know that grandpa lets them do whatever they please so they do and deal with the consequences later. My difficult children just don't care about consequences enough to behave unless we're in front of them. I'd absolutely love to hire a sitter sometimes, but I don't know anyone who can handle 6 kids. husband and I have a hard time dealing with all 6, you just can't pay anyone enough to do it. Thats why typically our only time away together is late at night after bedtime while dad veg's on the couch. The rest of the time its only one of us out and the other one home with kids. [/QUOTE]
