I want to strangle my kid. (No, not really strangle.. but a payback is in order!)

Guys, this post was made in fun.. my life isn't being destroyed here. The boy in question was diagnosed young with ADHD, and ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder) which means he'll argue with you whatever you say when he loses control. He's come a LONG way with controlling himself and learning to concentrate.. so much so he's been off any meds for the last 6 months or so.. and yes, he did need those. He's really a good kid at heart.. the first to stick up for a kid being bullied or anything like that. I know when he comes home the first thing he'll do is apologize. It's all good :) Still, I never let him get away for stuff like this.

Hmm sounds a lot like me, I don't think there was as much focus on those issues when I was a kid though and I was "borderline" in most cases. Went to a doc as a teenager for ADHD and he said I might have it but not bad enough to need any special "attention" like meds or therapy; I think my parents just did a good job teaching me how to manage it as a child. Man I got into some nasty arguments when I knew I was wrong LOL. Still have issues sitting still for long periods of time too, like over one hour and I'm bouncing around in my chair praying for my graduate college class to be over.
