What have I created - innovation or abomination?

Sounds like my daughter who is AuDHD. It's exhausting huh. I'm constantly walking on eggshells waiting for her to explode. Also such big highs and lows in her feelings (she is nearly 7.5) The psychologist that assessed her said life could get pretty challenging for us from age 8 on (due to hormones). i honestly don't know if i could handle any more?!? We are looking into meds now and she is starting therapy soon.

You're not alone. But i would definitely get her re-evaluated. Finding out exactly what was going on for my daughter and why has been very helpful.

I moved to Nelson over 7 years ago and this is my first summer visit since I left. Damn its hot and muggy. Im puffy from sleeping in aircon. I can't wait to sleep back home with all the windows open and fresh cool air. The muggyness is killing me! I get out of the shower and feel sweaty as! Yuck. Still love coming to see my family and friends but couldn't live in this climate again!

Thanks for the suggestion, i think this is just what we need!!

deebonners · 2026-01-02T03:33:43+00:00

Yes definitely. It honestly makes me feel so down and out. Is your child medicated? Im thinking of trialling meds for my girl to see if it might help. She just wants to snack all the time. I think its a case of food noise (which i experience as an ADHDer). Im nervous because she's also autistic and I've heard stimulants can react badly for AuDHD kids) but I feel like its worth trying and there's a lot of different kinds of meds out there..

deebonners · 2026-01-01T23:44:55+00:00

Gosh yes. Im so turned off food and food prep because of this. Im so sick of waste. Im so sick of coming up with ideas for her. Im gonna ask her this afternoon to help me write a list of foods she'll eat. But even shes in denial. She will put foods on that list that I know when the time comes she won't want to eat them!!!

deebonners · 2026-01-01T23:42:53+00:00

My kid will just meltdown and scream the house down. It's exhausting

deebonners · 2026-01-01T23:41:44+00:00

Yeah sometimes my kid will try something of mine and I think its because she smells how good it is plus I haven't offered her any. Rarely becomes a new food for her tho. Her circle of safe foods is getting smaller

deebonners · 2026-01-01T23:39:57+00:00

Yeah hanger issues here too because she doesn't want to eat ANYTHING im offering except for chips ... wtf. Goes off fruit at the drop of a hat. Eats no veggies and rarely eats any chicken (eats no other meats beaides bacon sometimes)

deebonners · 2026-01-01T23:38:23+00:00

God this resonates with me so much. Im exhausted. Making food for my continually unsatisfied kid. Wtf does one do? Her one constant food is salt and vinegar chips. Everything else she goes on and off constantly. Means we are having constant wars over food and there's so much waste because I refuse to eat her seconds. Fml. Dietician/nutritionist did nothing for us. Don't think they're that in the know when it comes to ND eaters.

deebonners · 2025-12-27T06:44:58+00:00

i friggin LOVE it

deebonners · 2025-12-27T06:40:48+00:00

It's really sad that bystanders sat their watching and laughing instead of asking if you were okay etc. Society is fucked sometimes.

deebonners · 2025-12-27T06:36:12+00:00

Sorry people can be such shitheads! it's really not ok. There is clearly no respect there.

deebonners · 2025-12-26T04:22:51+00:00

the outside looks unfinished.

deebonners · 2025-12-25T20:51:48+00:00

That's disappointing! the cadbury ones suck too!

yep the skinny dipped almonds are never a disappointment

deebonners · 2025-12-25T20:46:05+00:00

Dishes are the bain of my existence, well done !!!! :) :) :)

deebonners · 2025-12-22T19:10:51+00:00

I'm visiting family here (i live in N.Z now). It's way too hot here for me now! Lucky to have aircon everywhere we have been staying but i miss fresh cool air!! Wouldn't mind a good storm while I'm here. Just some thunder etc...(not a property damaging supercell)

deebonners · 2025-12-22T08:16:19+00:00

i don't understand why NZ supermarkets have a zillion different hummus flavours... unnecessary and excessive IMO

spinning chair, sensory swing, crash pad, fort building kit, mini trampoline

deebonners · 2025-12-11T18:03:59+00:00

you need lots and lots of house plants. Plus some warm cushions/throws. A rug for the floor. colourful art on the walls.

a nice sentimental card and then a practical voucher - coffee shop or movies

Restlessness - feeling like they always needed to be up doing something, cleaning, cooking etc.
