The Holidays are here it’s meant to be a fun time it isn’t fun for me.
Ive got four children my son with adhd is the third and youngest boy. He’s so hard so so hard the holidays are the worst.
Hes had meds in the past nothing changed but he was more anxious on the meds so had to stop those.
We went bowling today he had a fit because I spelt someone’s name wrong on the board those machines are hard to use I tried my best but he had a meltdown then was holding his ears lying on the floor because he didn’t like the noise of the place.
He likes noise if it’s something he wants to do like the wacky I’ve noticed. I took him the farm Tuesday his sister is almost three and he acts younger then her he was barking at the chickens roaring and running up and down anything and everything. My mom has to come with me on all days out but he’s so hard especially in public he goes to mainstream school but struggles but he wasn’t bad enough to go to the special schools.
I have two teen boys who want to do fun stuff I try to always give them all one thing they want to do for days out he wanted the farm the older boys wanted bowling I can’t drop them off it’s far away so have to stay there with the ten year old.
We have a wedding Saturday he just said he isn’t going he doesn’t want to do the drive and having another meltdown I’ve had to once again ask if my mom will step in as it’s literally our first night out since I don’t know when.
I read all the parenting tips on what to do and it feels like positive stuff works for a short time but never for long I feel like I tell him off all the time then feel bad but he doesn’t stop he hits his sister hits me it’s so hard. I feel like a failure my older teen son lost his S at bowling and grabbed up the ten year old who then had an even bigger tantrum.
Frazzled I hate the holidays 😭😭
