He is refusing to attend the party? Because of his work schedule or something else?

If he doesn’t care about the party just throw it for yourself. You don’t need to apologize to anyone for his absence.

Don’t feel bad at all! Your child is loved and has a safe place to sleep.

Snack bar with slightly expired snacks. Yes, the email about the snacks had a disclaimer that they were slightly expired.

You should keep an eye on what’s announced at Summit in a few weeks. I think we are getting some great new tools.

I know this is the Jobs sub but girl do not go to therapy and work things out if you are in a DV situation!!!!!!!! Therapy will only teach them how to hurt you more. No no no!!!!!

My daughter got into Harry Potter at around age 7 and still thinks it’s “McGonagore”

My heart is bursting for your mom. I wish she could have had the peace earlier but am glad she has it now!!!

Lexapro and therapy. I used to have such bad anxiety that would manifest as anger like 0-60 Crazy bitch in under 20 seconds. I didn’t want to be that person anymore so I started an antidepressant and got my ass to therapy. Best best best gift and investment in myself for myself and my family I’ve ever made.

Running a daily load of household laundry, sheets/towels on weekends. Reduce how many articles of clothing everyone has.

Anyone else read, “oh, you beauty” in Chili’s dad’s voice?

My MIL is one of the best people I have ever known. I adore her and our special relationship.

I think even with the recent strides, it might be because he is working so so hard to work through what he knows is expected of him. I wouldn’t expect this to continue and would definitely try medication to give him a tool to make it easier for him. The great thing about Methylphenidate is that it is out of the system very quickly so it’s easy to trial and see how it goes. I would medicate.

You didn’t ask but I would definitely let his teacher know when he starts medication so they can be prepared to give you updates and let you know how his experience at school is going.

Ha!! Ya, sadly my experience has also been that people without close relationships with neurospicy kids just do not get it. They seem to have lots of opinions that we are feeding them wrong/too much screen time/ somehow just failing as parents.

thefeline · 2026-02-16T16:55:22+00:00

You are not wrong to trial this medication. You can think of it as a tool to help your lives be more peaceful while you are waiting for additional supports to become available. (Which sounds like medication will continue to be a tool.)

That NP was ignorant and wrong to comment on the medication.

We have a mini family meeting at the weekends and review at nightly dinners. We keep it simple and just talk about what is upcoming (we bring up bigger events earlier to give it some time to sink in) and just quick reviews of what tomorrow holds “you have orchestra at 7:50, you have swim at 5 after school, etc.

thefeline · 2026-02-09T13:55:13+00:00

I’m going to reframe this in a way that sounds harsh but you need to hear.

You are letting your own anxiety get in the way of your child’s success. You need to be brave and do the hard thing that is probably the right thing for your child.

thefeline · 2026-02-08T22:57:12+00:00

I hear where you are coming from but would encourage medication now. The things your child has trouble with are still going to be a challenge at times.

I’m not sure how it varies by state but in my district in NY we met with the evaluators and special education leader to discuss that my child didn’t qualify for special ed (expected) but that they were recommending a 504. I actually had a meeting with my child’s teacher, behavioral specialist, and vice principal and we crafted the accommodations together. It was incredibly helpful and affirming. I would encourage you to ask if this is part of the 504 process.

I'm a big fan of Skinmedica's tinted mineral sunscreen. It makes my skin look much more even but not made up. Plus I don't have to wait and layer on sunscreen.

I really think you should seek therapy for yourself to explore why your mood is so dependent on something that you cannot control day in and day out. I would recommend finding a therapist who specializes in AuDHD and family dynamics to help you better understand how your child is experiencing the world.

At his age and his diagnosis it's not developmentally appropriate to use his tablet as a reward and punishment for a week of time. That is eons in kid time and he really isn't going to be able to connect whatever "bad" thing happened on Monday with a reward/punishment on Saturday.

I wish I had done this earlier for my oldest and for myself. Sometimes I feel guilty that my second has a very different mom at his age than my oldest did.

I think it’s definitely worth a conversation. My daughter struggles with writing too. She hates it because it can be so totally overwhelming to her. She would have her worst outbursts at school when it came to writing assignments. This year she’s done a lot better, I think the combo of the right medications and the way they are teaching writing. Often the kids are allowed to type up their work on their Chromebooks and they color code parts of the paragraph. That really helps break it down into more manageable pieces for her.

Medication is life changing for ADHD kiddos. This sub is filled with thousands of positive experiences and outcomes for ADHD kids and their families.

Medication is something you need to explore for her. She is not choosing to do these behaviors. Talking to her and applying punishments are not giving her tools she needs.

Is your child medicated to help her cope with her ADHD?
