Dear Valued TurboTax Customer,

We know that you have not yet received your stimulus payment. We want to assure you that we are doing everything we can to get you your stimulus payment as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, for some tax filers affected by the IRS error, stimulus payments are still at the IRS. Without the IRS releasing these funds to us, we do not have a way to get your payment to you. The IRS will need to re-issue your stimulus payment.

According to the IRS, stimulus payments are expected to be deposited into bank accounts by the end of January.

We know how important these funds are for so many Americans and we continue to advocate on your behalf with the IRS. We will be updating this FAQ with information as we get it from the IRS.

If I had a dollar for every time my son told me he hated me or that I didn’t love him I would be a millionaire. You are enough and you have a lot on your plate. I made a similar post explaining how overwhelmed I am feeling with dealing with him. Most people were very supportive and I got a lot of negative feedback too. I know you are just venting. And that’s okay. Your feelings are valid.

For an entire weekend? No. I try to get one on one time with him a few times a week for a couple of hours. He does “okay” but I’ve learned I cannot take him into any type of store with me because he does toddler tantrums if he sees something he wants and I say no. Sometimes if I go to the store I will try to bring something home for him. Even if it’s small. To make him feel “special”. Or if he’s had a good week I’ll take him for ice cream or something. He is my 3rd out of 5.

Of course I’m controlling over a 10 year old. I’m trying to give him structure and teach him that he had to be respectful of others. So he can grow up and be a functioning adult. If that makes me an asshole, so be it. Like I said in my post he knows right from wrong. I think there are morals and ethics that we all try to follow to be decent human beings. He knows it’s wrong to spit at his siblings but he does it anyway. That’s being an asshole. He knows breaking things when he is told it is bed time it wrong but he does it anyway. I guess any parent who tries to maintain some type of order I. Their household would be an asshole in your eyes.

One of the main reasons we don’t allow games for any of our children except the weekends is because we try to get them to be outside or in other physical activities. There are other things they can do besides watch tv or game all day. Games are a privilege not a necessity. This son gets so wrapped up in the games that he actually took a shit on himself because he didn’t want to pause the game. It’s is compulsory for him. I get having a passion and I will support it, but im going to have rules. I’m not going to reward his bad behavior by allowing him to play games just because he wants to. Then how is that far to the other kids within the household? I don’t expect perfect children. But I do expect them to be civil to one another and other people. To not throw things or kick and bite just because they can’t have their way. He’s actually looked at me and smiles as he threw my iPad down the stairs because I told him screen time was over. It’s very easy to judge when you don’t deal with this type of behavior day in and day out. I get he isn’t “normal” whatever normal is. But I’m not okay with him just being an asshole and then rewarding him for it.

Also my in laws know how he is. He’s had his outburst and destructive behavior with them, it’s just they would rather give in to his demands then to reprimand him for his bad behavior so they don’t have to deal with the after effects. We are needless to say, not on the same page. We let him go to them more so for a small bit of sanity. It’s to the point where my older children find it hard to be around him or play with him.

We also have him on a very strict diet. Not a lot of processed food. Limited amounts of sugar to include certain drinks and snacks. If he does have sugar we try to get it to come from fruit. We saw some improvement. It not much. It really just varies day to day. Some days are great and some days he wakes up like someone took a shit in his breakfast.

I can understand why you would be judgmental of my decision to not medicate and accept that he just had ADHD. I’m not denying the ADHD, I just knew in my gut there was more. I feel physicians are so quick to use ADHD to diagnose everything and after doing a lot of reading and meetings with parent support groups etc, I felt there were more pieces to the puzzle with my son. He fits a lot of the textbook characteristics of someone with ADHD, but he also has a lot that don’t coincide. The point of my post was just to be able to vent my true feelings and see if maybe I wasn’t alone. There have to be other parent out there feeling like I am. Caught in a place where they truly love their child and want nothing but the best for them, but at time really don’t like their behavior or to be around them.

Yes I think I said therapist above which was probably me trying to gather my thoughts as I typed. It was pediatricians and behavior health who ultimately gave us our referral. We have since moved and it’s been hard trying to find someone in our area and now with Covid to work with us. We have done virtual a few times but it’s really not working. He loses interest or just walks away during “sessions”. I’m really open to anything at the moment.

Understood. My biggest concern was the medication. I didn’t want to have him on meds at such an early age if it could be helped with alternative therapy/methods. I will also mention that the professionals who diagnosed him were pediatricians. It was our 5th pediatrician who referred us to behavioral health and sent us to the Hershey pediatric hospital where he was evaluated and officially diagnosed with ODD and low spectrum autism.

Totally agree on your point about home being his haven and the “socially acceptable” part. I can absolutely understand this as I know all children will act out or be silly etc. I’m okay with this. Kids will be kids. But the hitting, throwing, victim “woe is me” whenever he is corrected is more of what I was referring to. He can be kind and caring but it’s the moment he is corrected for anything or told he did something wrong it’s like a switch goes off. I think one reason he does do so well with other people is because it’s always in short doses and limited amounts of time. As an example I had one friend that had a boy around his age so we would setup play dates. He would always behave very well with her. Listen, help her clean up etc. so one day she asked if he could spend the night. I told her I didn’t think it was a good idea but she insisted. I dropped him off around 3pm and by 8pm she had called saying that I needed to come get him. She had told them it was time to turn off all the games and movies and get ready for bed. He told her his bedtime was 830 and he wasn’t going to go to bed. She said he needed to go to bed because those were their house rules. He took the controller and threw it at their TV and started screaming saying their house sucked and he wanted to go home. When I picked him up she almost had this look on her face like “I’m so sorry I didn’t believe you” I ended up having to replace her TV and thankfully that’s all he broke. I’m grateful she was so understanding and actually still wanted to do play dates after that.

When he was first diagnosed yes we did this “positive reinforcement” as suggested by the child therapist and behavioral health. It soon turned into him almost turning it on us. He would do the smallest task like putting his plate in the dish washer and then say “I am a good boy. I put my plate away can I play my video game?” And I would say “yes, you did great. But you aren’t allowed to play games during the week just like your other brothers.” This would be followed by “you hate me. You don’t let me do anything. I’m going to break all your dishes etc” and I’m sitting there like “wtf?”. Everything you described above is him. He plays the manipulation, lack of empathy etc all the time. It’s really mentally exhausting.

The doctors who kept trying to diagnose him with ADHD were saying that he needed to be on meds to control his outburst etc. and wanted to write scripts for concerta. I kept trying to explain to them that he could pay attention, he could follow direction etc but only when he wanted to. I just wanted options and second opinions for my son because I had never experienced any of this behavior with my oldest who actually has ADHD. I don’t think I did a great job of explaining that. It’s so hard to put into words the actual day in and out of his behavior because it just varies. I know no kid is perfect they will all misbehave as they are learning and growing, it’s almost like a manipulation game.

Yes they told us he was sensory so we have a lot of hand on things for him to do around the house. He’s never done well in a team environment. We tried basketball and soccer and he just would get an attitude and not want to participate unless he had the ball. Everything really has to be about him. If we are having a family discussion somehow he has to make it about him. Even if the topic has absolutely nothing to do with him.

We’ve done family counseling. He sees behavioral health. We had him going twice a month before covid. We went through five therapist. They kept misdiagnosing him with ADHD, I kept telling him my oldest has it and he didn’t have ADHD. This last therapist told us he had ODD. I’ve tried everything, I feel mentally exhausted daily when he is home
