[quote=Anonymous]I felt I had to reply to this  as the friend who has dropped a mom of a kid with adhd. My friend - whom I adore- has a son who is now 14 with a ADHD diagnosis. I have a 10-year old.
 When her son was 9 he showed my 5 year old internet porn  when they were at my house. How do I know? Becasue he brought his laptop to me and asked me how to erase the history so his mom would not find out. I was upset- and the boy was back on his laptop a week later (unsupervised) becasue "he does't mean to..." meanwhile I am explaining penis in vagina sex to my 5 year old...

We went on a road trip together. When we returned I noticed there were holes (big holes) in the leather of the back seat of my new car. There was a screwdriver on the floor. He swore it was my child that did it... but I pointed out that mine was in a Booster Seat  that was raised and had sides. His mom said... well he would not lie to me.... and we really don't know.... Over the years moisture  has gotten in tehre and now my car is moldy and smells really bad.

Two years ago they were over for a visit. The boy pulled poles out of the entrance to my driveway that hold a specialized driveway fence ( i Put it up when the kids are playing int he driveway, but otherwise could take it down). I had paid $125 to have them installed. His mom shook her head and said "Oh (Name)". That was all. No more dirveway fence for me.

When he took all of my house screens that were under the back porch and piled rocks on them, his mother said how much he enjoyed doing things outdoors. All of the screens were ruined. We are both single mothers living on a tight budget btw... I knew she could not afford to do anything about it... but I still dont have  screen for all of the windows in my house.... with no air conditioning in the summer it means bugs or sweating.

The final straw was when my 9 year old asked me what weed was. I asked  "where did you hear that"... and was told that  the other child was bragging that he smokes it-(and not to tell me). I told his mom.... but she already knew and said she had "spoken to him" about it.

I love my friend- I really do. My heart misses her. But these are only some examples.  You can call me cold, or accuse me of not understanding her diffiuclties.... or you can realize that it hurts me just as much. But her total comitment to the idea that he is "just different"  seems to mean that his needs are more important than my finacial needs or the well-being and safety of my child. No More!
