to think that ADHD/ADD is a load of nonsense?

[Breton1900]

Are we really producing ever more kids with these conditions or do parents simply need to take back control and realise that, at times, all kids can be obnoxious, loud, defiant, restless and fidgety and that strictly enforced rules for behaviour, lots of TLC, and the occasional smack on the bum may be the way forward?

LOL STAR!!

wasuup3000 I didn't notice maryz providing any information or evidence to support her contention. However, as she is broadly in agreement with you, you wouldn't deem it necessary for her to produce any, would you?

After all anything that supports your own prejudices and viewpoint is acceptable to you and perfectly all right.

SOME add i mean
not all

Posy...I am sleep deprived!!!!

Ditto

I suppose they will be telling me next that i should be grateful to have a child with SN and for the help he gets.

Feel free to look after my whirlwind for a day (ADHD and autism) to learn a bit.

Thanks so much for making everyone feel even shitter about their parenting than many of us already do. I do, despite being told that my parenting is 'spot on', because even if we were the best parents in the world, our children still have these disabilities which pervade every area of our lives.

Shame on you for making that more difficult and perpetuating the myth that ADHD must = shit parent.

Tired yes we should because special children are only sent to special parents.....

OMG Maryz you mean you have 2 favourites!!!!

I never thought of it like that.

thanks lady you made me smile

Tired,it is true. Special parents get special children because we can cope with all that is thrown at us and regardless of how bad things seem we get through it.

Although maybe someone should try and get this thread deleted, before these idiots make anyone else feel like shite

Tired, its all character building stuff this parenting lark

Lady they would not know how bad things can be, even if it slapped them in the face

Tired exactly...and for that they must be pitied.

wasuup3000: If you read back through what I have written I have made no personal attacks or commented upon the personal parenting skills of those who have contributed to this thread.

My comments have been general and, where appropriate, I have cited other sources to corroborate and/or substantiate my views.

So should we allow this to carry on or do we bring it to mnhq's attention

Star, I disagree!!
They should be pitied because the live in a bubble where their world is perfect and a hair growing out of place would bring devestation.

Pitied because they cannot see past the end of their noses, while the rest of us live in a harsh but real and lovable world and still get through.

Bret when you started this charade you knew exactly what you were doing, and how offensive it would be

Tired,

I have to say something here.

Things are and can be offensive if we allow them to be. Now I may be hardened to comments over disability and see the funnier side to ignorant peoples comments, because I grew up with disability around me.

I have learnt to laugh in the face of these people - my dad taught me a lot over the years.

Are you planning on reporting the vile language that has been used towards both myself and MrsCrafty?

Or is this a suggestion to run to the mods and whine?
