[QUOTE="Mumunderfire, post: 734142, member: 23081"] Hi butterfly guardian I just wanted to say how lucky those boys are to have a lovely intelligent person in their lives when everyone else has failed them. oh dear you're in for a ride though -Adhd is a very tough gig. ignoring every tiny request is standard stuff as is making the same mistakes, breaking the same rules over and over and over regardless of any sanctions- it's absolutely text book. You have to be realistic and try to come to terms with the fact that you won't have the same results for your parenting efforts as others with easy kids and that maybe your own parents had, but that's not to say you aren't winning. There are lots of books on adhd parenting have you looked at any of these? And don't think it won't improve with time. It usually does as adhd is exacerbated by adolescence. Love and setting good example go a long way in the long term but aren't a quick fix. Best of luck it's a great thing you are doing xx [/QUOTE]
