[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we have one NT older child and one ADHD younger child. we can't go 5 min in the car without them fighting. we've given in to electronics bc that's the only way they can co-exist. it was AWFUL during covid, has gotten better since school was back to normal, now is AWFUL again this summer. you literally have to PLAN OUT YOUR DAY, where they will be located in the house, what activities they have, where they will eat (separately). truly, it's not worth having mine together. i just get through each day keeping them apart. only time they get along is when DH and I are fighting, then they band together and go do something quiet to leave us alone.

That sounds so hard. How old are they? Maybe it will get better [/quote]

They are 11 (NT) and 8 (adhd). Therapy would never help our situation and would cause more problems than it would solve because they would both keep going. I pray they grow into maturity adults who can stand being around each other, but if they don’t I’m also fine with that. My brother and I have nothing to do with each other and can’t stand more than an evening together and we are both NT. [/quote]
