Why is it so hard? I feel like everything I do is for my children.
I'm a single parent adhd provide everything. Make sure their diet is good, enough exercise, sleep etc and not too much screen time. They are deeply loved and have been shown so many great places.
However, they can't behave. My youngest DD 12 is in constant trouble in school. Showing off, loud, defiant, falls out with friends etc. I feel like I'm on a permanent call to the head of year. She is constantly in trouble and on report. I speak to her and try and give her strategies, punish her but nothing works.
My eldest DD 14 is good in school but the minute things aren't right at home she calls me an idiot and I hate you etc. It just slips off her tongue so easily. I speak to her but again nothing changes.
They are just so impulsive. What can I do to make this better. I'm feeling so down and like such a useless parent! It is just so hard. Also not helped that I'm doing it on my own but I don't know what else I can do!
