[quote=Anonymous]10:51 here.  Yeah, it's me that's doing this, not DH - he's got his own ADHD issues going on (fruit doesn't fall far from the tree).  DH is fabulous when it comes to coaching sports and the like but when it comes to the mundane stuff like homework, this is a major area of weakness.  DH struggles to attend to DS' homework 'regime' and when he does remember the 'regime', he becomes too short tempered.  DS then reacts to DH's dysregulation and it all goes to hell.  None of the fighting is out of bounds but it is SO unproductive and does nothing to strengthen the relationship.  In that way, DS is being a typical teenager and DH isn't aware of how he is feeding into the bad dynamic.  I'm much better able to self-regulate even when I want to strangle DS.  At least DH will stand down when I tell him to.  I hate this role but I know what will happen if I don't.

The irony of all this?  DS's teachers (at our IEP meetings) all state that DS is one of the more mature, self-aware kids they've got and certainly more so than his friends.   :shock: [/quote]
