[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading these responses is making me angry and I just have to chime in.

OP mentions that her 6year old son has ADHD/ASD.  That is a really hard combo.  No amount of good parenting is going to make an ASD/ADHD child sit still and behave for an hour long dinner.  It would be like trying to teach a blind person to see by just telling them to just "look harder."  It's beyond their capability.  Period.  The solution is to not put them in situations where they are set up to fail.  It sucks when families are unsupportive and don't understand, but it happens often.

And OP:  you are a saint and amazing mother for taking your kids to activities.  Just schlepping two kids around to all these activities when one of them has these conditions, by yourself, when your DH doesn't want to be bothered, is exhausting in itself.

[b]To those of you telling her to teach her kids manners... shame on you.[/b]  I can assure you, she is, or is at least trying (see post about trying to teach a blind person to see).  As a fellow special needs mom, I can tell you that having a disability like ADHD, or being on the spectrum, is something for which it's still okay to be shamed.  It's also very, very difficult to be a parent to a kid like this.  You people are just ignorant and smug.  As a special needs mom, you know there is a line that can't be crossed... for example, you can't let your kid hit another kid.  But not sitting still at the table?  I think you'd give the OP a little more leeway here.

OP:  I'd suggest posting your story on the special needs board.  There you will find compassion and advice that your are not getting from some of these ignorant a**hole responses.[/quote]

Agree. You people are a vicious bunch of hags. Shame on you.[/quote]

Looks like you need to learn manners too.[/quote]
