For all who responded to my thread about the Busstop misshap. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I have written out a letter for the un knowledgeable ones. I will be giving this to the "Queen" as my husband calls her. By the way, He has always not trusted her from the day he met her.... I don't expect any thing from this except the satisfaction that i did my part... I liked the story about the daycare giver. Maybe she should watch Eric for a night when his Meds. have worn off so that my husband and I can go out. Haven't been away from kids in 3yrs. LOLOL....I bet she would have a lot better understanding for our lives. I have to send you all great big ((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))) To say have a peaceful day, and again Thank You, Christina  |

Christina, good job!
I know when I wrote my letter, it made me feel much better. It puts the ball in the other parents hands, and whether or not they play is up to them, but at least they will know.
Education is the key. So many parents without ADHD kids, just don't get it. By writing your letter, you may at least open their eyes to it, whether they accept it or not.
Best of luck, and let us know how it turns out.

Good for You!! ;D
That is a great way to (for lack of a better word) defend yourself against the Queen.
You've taken a very proactive move here so it is up to them now. You did your part. ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D Hi everyone: I have delivered my letter with great relief... The mom didn't know what to say and said she would read it at home. Guess who showed up at my house about an hour later? Yes it was the mom, with a contrite look on her face... Just wanted to let me know that she was concerned and didn't mean to offend me or anything but can't AdHD be more manageable than what my letter suggested, I told her no not all the time, especially the mornings for my ds. His problems make her feel wary of him being around her child but would like to let me know she doesn't think I am doing anything wrong since reading the letter. When she left my DH and I sat down for coffee and just laughed so hard..... ;D I feel alot better becuase I gave her the knowledge. I am proud of myself because I usually jsut let people treat me how they want and ignore it. I didn't this time and it felt good. Going to have to keep that up.. Anyway, Have a peaceful day all, Christina |

What a wonderful turnout! I tried being open about all I have goingon and it got me shot down hard core. It made my kids theones to blame if ANYTHING happened.
I am glad things turned out well. I know how fun it is to have temper outbursts at the bus stop, especially when I am not a morning person anyway!! I don't go to the bus stop any more, too clique-ish I send my 10 yo by himself in the morning.

That's wonderful. I am glad that she read your letter and is now more accepting.
Good for you for sticking up for your son and yourself.
