[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: OMG.... Yes! They are loud, eat snacks and leave shit all over, wet towels on the floor, grabbing snacks (I try to not buy much btw), always want to be on some form of electronics and are basically unhelpful. I want them to help with the dog a bit more, not complain about the trash and just do it.... I know saying things over and over takes away my power. I agree with everyone about the natural consequences of grades etc. It's tough though-- they are smart-- fortunately are getting good grades now and they are both very social. The thing is that I try to be calm and nice and then the switch flips upon not being heard. The bottom line is: I don't want them to feel that their mom raged or made the house chaotic. I will check out that book... but the interesting thing is that one kid has ADHD hyper and then other ADD inattentive.... They are both at good public schools and are doing well, but maybe they just hold it together all day and then just lose it when they come home...[/quote] Are they medicated? I have ADD and tried medication, but the crash was so awful, it made my brain useless at night. ADD meds burn through everything your brain has to offer during the day and leaves you with nothing at night and often leaves you very moody and angry.[/quote]
