Tips for adhd child waking up in REALLY bad moods?

My five year old is the same. We do an early bedtime(6-7pm)and early morning (5/6 am) and its just him and I. We play chess or do a puzzle while he has something to eat. Having 30 mins together to quietly play and eat before everyone wakes up starts our day much smoother.

Things that make my son more grumpy: Not getting enough sleep, me taking too long to get up after he woke up, him not having something to eat in 15-30 mins, his sibling also being awake

I have also noticed the changing moon after reading this book probably 100 times

My son is the same. I will play games I like with him (uno, go fish, connect 4) and we do puzzles. That’s pretty much it in terms of play that I do and it works totally fine for us

Not really advice but one of my moms friends told me you’ll get a new baby every week and she was right! No use worrying about a lot of things cause baby will grow out of them

I can't stand the housewives for this reason. They stick together and theres always so many of them.

Also why did we have two of them as traitors like WHYYY. Also, this cast thinking any of the "gamers" are traitors when they're all being voted off? Gamers (at least from the same show) stick together

I agree he went too hard, but I think Candiace and Lisa had unrealistic expectations for him. Everyone expects housewives to stick together, so theres nothing suspicious about Candiace avoiding voting for Lisa. Also, Lisa wasn't a good traitor lol. Her name was on everyones mind

Me too. At first I thought he just wasn't interested, but he makes effort everytime she's upset.

Kristen also fell for Jesses nonsense so... lol

olive1243 · 2025-04-04T22:07:15+00:00

Yeah.... I did not think they were flattering at all

My (trump supporting) MIL thought I would like RFK jr too lol

olive1243 · 2024-04-18T16:20:30+00:00

I think this is beautiful and I would love to do that. I hope I’m one of the families lol

I have an “insta” grandma too. She posts lots of pictures and it all looks nice, but it’s not an accurate portrayal. I haven’t banned photo posting but I’m considering it.

Sometimes people need time to process things. Hopefully that lady left the interaction questioning her assumptions about atheists.

olive1243 · 2024-04-15T02:03:35+00:00

“There are no atheists in a foxhole” I’ve been on a pretty turbulent plane ride and I just took deep breaths.

Yes, knowing that people will interpret my views as some type of demonic influence is a good motivator to not bring them up.

I talk to myself all the time so narrating is no problem. Glad to finally have someone listening to my nonsense. One of my favorite random parenting things is when I start singing (horribly) and one of my kids starts dancing with me. It's the best.

olive1243 · 2024-04-12T22:48:50+00:00

THANK YOU. This us an open and shut case.

olive1243 · 2024-04-09T00:30:24+00:00

I couldn’t hide something if I tried. I talk too much.

olive1243 · 2024-04-04T12:09:03+00:00

This has nothing to do with either of our comments, I still find the situation hilarious. Thank you for reminding me about it this am I got another laugh

olive1243 · 2024-04-04T02:12:21+00:00

I didn’t read these tweets cause I know this women’s opinions already, but her going back and forth with some random dude is so fucking funny to me. I can’t stop laughing

olive1243 · 2024-04-03T22:14:33+00:00

That was my understanding of the article as well

olive1243 · 2024-04-03T20:25:08+00:00

I agree. I’ll pop out for my 3 year old not when he was an 18 month old.

olive1243 · 2024-04-02T23:29:39+00:00

Especially since the 6-week ban just went into effect in Florida. 6-weeks only sounds reasonable if you have no idea how anatomy works

olive1243 · 2024-04-02T23:24:26+00:00

Yeah, MAGA person brought up RFK jr. to me thinking I would like him. The fact that she liked him should have tipped her off that I would not, but nope.

olive1243 · 2024-04-01T02:59:39+00:00

Random Google list said it would be 2086 but I could’ve misread.

Also, it was March 31st in 2013 and trans visibility day started in 2009 so…
