Since ds just started adderall XR the Friday after Thanksgiving, we decided not to give any breaks for the first month. However, Sundays seem to be so tough -- he behaves in church but his attitude stinks. For instance, yesterday, he got mad and pouted most of the service because we didn't sit where he wanted to and Mass was starting so I didn't want to get up and move. (I misunderstood where he said he wanted to sit because normally I don't fight over this.) Anytime he doesn't get his way, it's a major breakdown. Maybe I just notice it more on Sunday but even Saturdays don't seem to be as bad. Weekdays after school, on average, aren't like this.
It's not all day or anything and we're trying to keep him on the same schedule as during the week since that seems to help. Also, one Sat. he got his medication late and getting him to stay in his room and quiet was way worse than normal. (This doesn't mean that I won't give it to him late on special occasions but I'll be ready for the late night!
) I can't wait for med breaks so he can sleep late!
Sorry to ramble but sometimes it's hard for me to be concise, especially when I feel frustrated.
Has anyone else noticed how hard it is to be concise when frustrated? ;D
