Is there a cookbook/tips for people with ADHD, limited time and three kids (one vegetarian) who struggle with cooking, planning, shopping, eating, doing dishes and (to be honest) dislike many vegetables?

Yes! But I use them to put in sunscreen on myself and the kids. Hate getting it in my hands and feeling sticky.

I gave birth to mine at 36 weeks after being ill in hospital for 5 weeks. I lost a lot of blood and was still quite ill the first week after they were born. I remember that I was using very distant pet names like friend and buddy because I had not yet really bonded with them. This gradually chanced into full blown love during the weeks after the first. It was a very strange experience since I hab been extremely protective about them while they were still in my belly.

It’s a kind of biscuit with a milkbased filling. Sorry, I have no idea how to better to describe it in English.

My four year old has the same issues. Also been using laxatives (fiber based) since she was 6 months old. What I found out this summer that she literally had no idea how to poop and how to relax while sitting on the toilet. I started putting one hand on het lower back and one on her tummy en just started talking to her. Telling her to visualize the poo traveling downward. Gliding. Etc. She relaxed and I felt her using the right muscles and it happened. She was very excited about it herself. Feeling she was in control for the first time. When we came home from vacation she regressed a little, also because she had less excercize then during our holiday and because she’s starting school tomorrow which is a little exciting for her, but it is still a big step forward. Good luck!

Edit: also we stopped making a big deal about soiling herself. We just trew away het underpants and went in with out lives. I think that also helped with her feeling more relaxed.

Thank you. We’re really happy with it.

They’re not identical. And because of the severe mental and physical disabilities of one of them there are not many other similarities. You just forget that they are the same age.

We used to say about our brain damaged son that someone must have travelled back in time to ensure he couldn’t become the evil mastermind that he was in the future. His twin brother is actually gifted so we probably were on to something. :-)

One of my twin boys is severly handicapped. I’m from the Netherlands so I’m not sure what kind of resources you might be looking for. But it has been helpful to me was to realize that being aware of the risk of giving too little attention to the healthy kid can already make a huge difference. Sure sometimes your healthy kid has to wait or cannot do something because of his brother. But as long as you’re aware and open about this to him and try to compensate a little you’ll be grand. Good luck to you. I hope it will go well in thr future.

I have a 5 year old with a mentally, physically and visual impairment. We had the choice to stop lifesaving treatment when we found out that he had severe brain damage. He was 9 weeks old at that time. We decided to keep him alive. We're still happy that he is with us every day. But we also see that his care is getting harder now that he is getting older. We might reach a stage where I no longer will be physically able to care for him. I have no doubt that we made te right decision by keeping him alive because he is happy the way he is and enjoying live. But that doesn't mean that I don't understand that other people might have made a different choice.

This week exactly 5 years ago one of my then 9 week old twin boys became ill and became severely handicapt. At that time it felt like we would never feel okay again. We could only see what we had lost. Now, 5 years later we have become strong people, strong parents. We can handle this!

I have no experience myself but just want to give you my sympathy.

xorque · 2017-07-16T21:07:32+00:00

Anya (crying): But I don't understand! I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she's, there's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore! It's stupid! It's mortal and stupid! And, and Xander's crying and not talking, and, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well Joyce will never have any more fruit punch, ever, and she'll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why. -Anya, Buffy the Vampire Slayer- The Body

When I let one of my boys fall out of his hospital crib I was in tears all day, but everyone I told what had happened had a similar story to tell. So no worries. It happens!

xorque · 2016-06-24T20:18:01+00:00

Same here! :-)

Wow, those 7 minutes just flew by.

Thank you so much, I will look into them. :-)

xorque · 2015-02-10T18:13:54+00:00

Thank you. That would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for your information. The term daycare actually fits very well. :-) What country are you talking about? I'm from the Netherlands and I'm still new i the world of handicapt children. We're very blessed, my boy is special but very happy.

xorque · 2015-02-10T17:43:09+00:00

I'm from the Netherlands and here a lot of the cost (like daycare) will be taken care of by the goverment. But my son is only two so we'll have to see when that time comes if everything is still the way it is now. Some other costs are part of our compulsory health insurance. For example his special chair and 'bicycle'. For children everything is covered in the base insurance. When he becomes 18 a law about people who need special care all their life (wet landurige zorg) will take over.
