Last week, I wrote a story about how I got kicked out of a cafe – because of a misunderstanding. The part that was most frustrating to me was that I felt that I was negatively and unjustly judged by the owner of the cafe. You can read the original arti…

Speaking to this, Im not a book pusher by any stretch but this book answered so many question and validated that I was not in fact abnormal rather typical of adha charateristics. Its called Delivered From Distraction, I forget the Author but he has adhd too and he is a doctor on the subject. The Mr read it too and he gets it alot more than he use to. He doesnt get as frusterated as he use too…

And I have to say Im al little concerned about your relationship and am wondering if you had considered going to couples counciling…My Mr and I went after we hit a point where things starting getting really out of hand. We learned how to talk to eachother again and not yell. The lady took into consideration that I have ADHD and she was really supportive of it. If you can find somebody like that, I think you might bennifit. It wasnt a cure all for us, but for the most part we are doing well and work hard to implicate what we were told to…we are still together, so I guess that says something about getting help from an outside party, cause we were so tied up in our world we lost the ability to look at the problem because we were so tangled up in the situation. Things got personal when it really should not have been. I hope Im not stepping out of line for making this suggestion.

Jamie, Chin up, its super frusterating and just down right crapy sometimes but try to learn as much about yourself as you can and fight the small battles first, like a dry board, and soon the big stuff wont be so big…and seriously get the book, validation is just part of its benifits, I was totally floored after reading it, and I actually read it cover to cover which is simply unheard of for me

No judgements, just another ADHDer,

I hear that one loud and clear! My son is 14 and in grade 9 he has had many teachers like your daughters and you know what it showed in his grades! I always know when he has a teacher he likes as he excels in that class. Unfortunately there are many “grumpy” teachers out there. I even had a teacher tell me (my son is in French Immersion so he does French in AM and English in PM and they would alternate day to day) that when my son had her in the mornings he was fine but if he had “Mrs. X” then it was a bad day. As “Mrs. X” is not a morning person!!! So with my son’s inattention and hyperactivity she got really grumpy! What I don’t understand is why is this teacher teaching if she can’t deal with children getting on her nerves too early in the morning! I mean c’mon already kids will be kids! She needs to find a job that she can work afternoon shift…not be around (grade 4) children in the mornings! This was just when my son was being diagnosed with ADHD so it was all new to us, but when I heard that I was really ticked off! Why do people teach if they can’t do it with kids who need extra attention at times…….cause there are MANY out there. I wish we could pick the teachers our children got, boy would you see some great grades because of it. I just had 2 evaluations done by 2 teachers at my son’s school for Dr. Handelman to see (we meet in a month) and one is so opposite of the other and when I saw the one with the negitive scores I knew it was his math teacher as she had called me to say my son needed a tutor, or to be in english only, or some extra help of some sort as he just didn’t “get it” so he went to what they call “math clinic” during his lunch the next day and came home “as happy as a pig in poop” and said “Mom I learned how to do it in seconds!” So why is it that the teacher in the “math clinic” could teach him so quickly and his own teacher gave up on him??? It is VERY obvious to me that she just doesn’t know how to teach! But unfortunately that is what we get in our classrooms. Hope your daughter has a “sunnier” teacher next year!
Good Luck!
