[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I have expected my kids to help. Im not insecure whatsoever. But when your kids present obstacle after obstacle, you start to question everything.

They are acting terribly, and it’s as referenced in the OP, a kind of temporary environmental (in our house, siblings together) ADD.

I am asking for help. Often on dcum, people don’t directly offer what you ask for. They start to state reasons the topic is important, or get personally critical of someone they don’t know.

I have done exactly what you guys have done. My kids are extra challenging, and I need hope.[/quote]

Is part of the problem that you are a single mom or have a partner that doesn’t help at all? Do you think your kids actually need to be evaluated for special needs or some sort of therapy? I don’t think anyone on this thread wants you to lose hope. I think we are struggling to understand if this is a YOU problem — which is how you make it sound in your posts (and note that I don’t mean that with any criticism at all, just a “do you need to work on yourself” kind of thing). Or is there really something else going on like an absent or undermining spouse of children who truly have some sort of exceptional need or circumstance.[/quote]
