ALL their kids are "ADHD" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

My MIL says that she thinks her other 3 grandkids all have ADHD. No, their mother just lets them do anything they want. That's why they're wild and don't listen to anything you tell them. πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„ People seriously need to stop throwing that term around... ADHD/ADD.

I have a child with ADHD. He has serious impulse control issues, it was actually our first indication something was off because he had zero concept of danger even into 3/4/5 years old. He struggles with focus, though that is slowing improving with reminders and therapy. His speech is poor because his brain works faster than his mouth can get the words out so everything just runs together. What he is not is disobedient or disrespectful or ill mannered or mean to other kids. He's not perfect, but he's overall a damn sweet, helpful, mostly well behaved kid. Shit behavior is not the result of ADHD, it's the result of shit parenting.

That's the pint I'm trying to make, many parents blame their kids bad behavior on some mental abnormality, when it is in fact, just the fact that they're crappy parents. It makes it harder for those who need to be legitimately diagnosed. By an actual doctor, not a grandmother.

Actually oppositional defiant disorder is commonly seen and is co occurring in children and young adults with ADD and ADHD. But bad parenting sure doesn’t help lol!

It irritates me when they do that, so all the kids who actually do have it "it's all in the parent's head" πŸ™„

I actually have ADHD and my mom was friends with this one woman whose daughter she would give what ever she wanted. Like this girl got a real live pony because she was destroying the house demanding one so "mommy and daddy" gave her what she wanted. I was forced to do play dates (we where fucking 11 and 12) with her and her mom would try to say she thinks her daughter has the same thing I did. I told her flat out "no she is not like me she is just a bitch and you don't help it" my mom slapped me and the ln mom left in a huff. They later took her to the doctor to see if she had it and guess what :) :) I was right. Nothing was wrong. Now that girl is a meth head stealing from her parents and I'm on no medication living my best life

They're kids... their brains are still developing. Some kids are hyper, some aren't. Personality differences shouldn't be classified as a disorder in toddlers.

My son's father was put on ADHD meds in elementary school. Turns out they misdiagnosed him and he has severe psychological issues that they thought were ADHD but were early signs of his issues. Don't poke pills in your kid unless it's absolutely necessary people
