[quote=Anonymous]He is 8 and has done well as a kid living with ADHD, but here are the issues: he doesn't want to do things that he doesn't want to do (e.g., go with me to the library or grocery store) and he gets obsessed with issues or topics (e.g., we had to go to apple store and he asked me about 100x for an itouch to which I said "no" and just ignored after that. Then he got into his head that he wanted a dog and could we go to a breeder NOW and this went on and on with sulking and yelling that he never gets anything almost all night.  He is a wonderful kid and has improved so much (no meds bc he's done grest at school with friends. Academics etc. ) but he can be so difficult. It's exhausting and makes me sad when I just feel like I am not enjoying being with him. We are off this week and I am trying to be structured, but it's tough given that I need to do projects around the house and do errands. He has plenty of fun stuff to do btw: the pool, play dates, ice cream with mom and brother etc. it's just exhausting to be with him at times and to stay calm.... His personality is so different from mine. When he gets hyper and kooky, I try to let it go, but I hate it... Just not my nature. Thx for listening... Hopefully today will be better. I know I probably should have out him in camp, but he often refuses camp so we took off re: camp in hopes that the pool, play dates and activities with mom and his brother would suffice. [/quote]
