[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid has HFA, adhd and anxiety, and he us unmedicated. DH is against me sharing diagnosis with aftercare that he goes daily after school because he does not want our kid gets special attention and treatment. He wants him to get real with real life. The problem is kid got trouble before with other kid interaction at aftercare, and I got calls of notification. It is sometimes other kids fault and sometimes it is his fault. They are little kids at elementary school, but I feel like I need to share this info if my kid goes there every day. I just mention that he has this and that diagnosis, and it is less than a min talk.  I am the primary caregiver to get called first and I also work full time.

Do you share or not share in my situation? They have new onsite aftercare director, so I shared with them which pissed DH off.[/quote]

Yes, you absolutely share, this is not even a question in my mind. Your DH is dead wrong. It's irresponsible not to share your kids' needs with their caregivers. Look at it this way - if your child had diabetes and needed insulin would you not share? If your kid was allergic to peanut butter, would you keep that secret? This is no different.

Not sharing is going to lead to bad outcomes for your child, I can almost guarantee it. And then at some point when things blow up, it will all come out and you are going to look like idiots for not disclosing relevant information.

If you absolutely can't convince your DH to disclose, then at least change him to the primary caregiver and immediate contact so that he can deal with the problems that are sure to come up, including the phone calls. Maybe that will wake him up.

I'm also going to hazard a wild guess that your kid is unmedicated because DH is in denial? It sounds like you have larger issues, OP. I feel for you. [/quote]
