[quote=Anonymous]I have a 9 yo kid who is a bit of a diagnostic challenge but to paint the best picture for the purposes of this question he has adhd (he does) and odd (I don’t necessarily believe in odd but let’s go with that). He is very easily made angry, frustrated or sad. He is on meds (adderall and intuniv). I work so so so so hard at parenting him but I am feeling the strain of the fact that I am not succeeding in achieving his happiness. I def think he needs to do more sports and we need to move so he has more space (tiny 2 br apt). But other than that I don’t know how to parent him for optimum success. He is so ornery and oppositional and emotional so much of the time. We’ve dont pcit, other family therapy, he’s had therapy. I’m just so tired of failing. And I’m starting to look so old and like - it’s just so endless. I have another kid that is so sweet and easy. It’s not even that I want this one to be ‘sweet and easy’. I just want to feel successful at least on some level, some of the time. But short of super human constant unflappable calm - I don’t see a way to win here (as an actual human mom). Any advice welcome! [/quote]
