 Yes, both my sons and my husband are ADHD. I imagine I will find others here who feel equally at sea in the midst of such chaos. I look forward to learning from you.

Hi! My boys are 13 (first marriage) and three. I am not sure what you mean by DX? My 13 year old is on Adderall and my toddler is on Straterra.

:)You just answered my question....They have to be diagnosed(dx) to be on meds. How do you manage to give meds to a toddler? Do you have to put it in applesauce or something of that nature? Age 13 can be very challenging,especially with the hormones kicking in. There are some of us that have teens here so don't hesitate to ask questions.  |

Hi Michelle! Yup, there are those of us with teenagers, and will help you pick the right hair color to hide the greys those kids bring out of us!
Welcome to the family! I just picked a golden honey brown last week! The rollercoast ride can be frustrating, but the high moments are AWESOME and I wouldn't trade them for anything. And when things get to the low points... well... that's where all my friends here come to the rescue!
I am off my antidepressants because I can face the days knowing that I have such great support around me... day and night people are here to get me through!

Michelle and welcome to our family!! Looks like you found us just in time! When those three ADHDrs get going and you need a good place to vent or just cut up, someone is always here. I have a thirteen year old myself. Although mine is a girl, I can certainly say 13 is a fun age. NOT! hehe Hope to see you around more!

Welcome Michelle Well, with my whole family questionably add/adhd, only one is diagnosed, and that was just to get the school to lay off. We deal with it on a let me rip my hair out now basis. Then we realize that we are blessed to have so much energy, we try to put it to good use, so we have our hands in a little bit of everything. Just don't expect us to complete everything we start ;D ;D Take care and ask away, Trid and I already asked all the dumb questions |

For instance,
Why is it illegal to duct tape your childs mouth when they won't shut up? ;D ;D ;D

That's a shame...duct tape can fix sooo many things, like my toddler running full speed into walls. If he likes the wall so much, just duct tape him to it.
Too bad I can't bottle all this energy in my house and sell it to someone who wants it.

Michelle, I hope you live somewhere between Baltimore and New York City! We can get together with Kaiti and go wild at a Walmart creating CHAOS! |
