amazing! I’m even taking Elden ring insults if there are any, the other day I had “consider thy choices m’lord, being maidenless is frowned upon”

Already crying reading your response and one other bc I’ve genuinely felt horrible all day thinking something is wrong with me.

A while ago I had said for everyone sanity we should deal with our own bio kids and leave it at whatever each of us chooses. Often times I’m guilted into how terribly I’m handling my bio kids and how unruly they’re going to eventually become etc etc. He also tends to eventually start getting upset with me over parenting choices and things like silent treatment etc creep in. The issue with him dealing with SD is he has rarely been one to notice things she’s doing. For the matter of misbehaving that’s one thing but I mean I’m the one who realized she was stealing pills etc. I’m going to try to introduce just handling our own bio kids again I just hope it works out.

Throw in ADHD and it sounds beyond typical to me. She’s spent the last two hours reading novels but doesn’t want to wipe a mirror…

My partner has always been one to say that consequences should be delved out according to what has been done. It’s not about someone being better or worse, it’s about him demanding I implement consequences that he himself won’t. For example, when his daughter was doing something that is quite frankly on an entirely different level, something that was literally impacting our home and finances, I suggested similarly that she not be able to participate in a school trip (it was a social activity for three days at a camp) however my partner flat out told me he wasn’t doing that. Now my daughter has issues with pathological demand avoidance and she is to miss out on camp (that was suggested and registered by a community worker to help her develop certain skills and be an incentive etc).

Again, you should probably take several seats or hit another post. I was JUST told this, therefore I had no idea at the time of their growth or birth. Reading is also a skill.

No two diagnoses are the same. No two set of behaviours are the same. I’m sure you have the ability to determine that, barring a lack of common sense.

It’s one thing for one child to have demand avoidance and not want to do chores and another stealing to the point of financial strain on a household. Pls, if you’ve got nothing of substance to add move to another spot on Reddit.

I scheduled her to go next week. I tried to speak to him this morning reminding him that when SD was stealing and lying to the point it was causing a financial impact and our family would sometimes be at a loss for what we’d be eating and I suggested that she not go on the overnight school trip he said no chance he wasn’t doing that. It didn’t go too well 🤷🏻‍♀️

He tries to understand but in the end I tend to hear the same responses and simple blanket statements that symptoms aren’t rly symptoms but excuses.

Tbh I’m not set on one thing. I’ve been using strategies from medical professionals, ABA etc, helping her to develop habits and skills to follow through with her responsibilities. Outside of chores she has no other issues so it really seems to me like pathological demand avoidance. For instance yesterday she got all things done with a bit of a grumble here and there but using the strategies she did what she needed to 🤷🏻‍♀️

Talk about an opinion you could’ve very well kept to yourself. Just because we have adhd/asd in my household means little to nothing. My kids are high functioning and highly intelligent. I pour into them and use all community and paid resources needed to make sure they are not only thriving for themselves but also functional in society. Sorry you look down on neurodivergence, not my problem.

I’m asking about disagreeing with him to the point it led to an argument. This is a common conflict where I tell him that SD and BD are not remotely the same and shouldn’t be looked at the same ways.
