Strattera, my daughter and my sanity....
I thank you all for you input on the ADD matters, you don't know how helpful you've been.
It has been a battle ever since she started preschool, someone always telling me how to do something differently, someone always giving their opinion when I could really give a shit less...there is always someone who thinks they can raise your kid better then you can....and those people can bite me lol.
Kaylee started Strattera on Tuesday....they said whatever would happen would be gradual....but already I notice there is no fighting over homework...she comes home and she sits down and she works on it without whining, screaming and crying....and if thats all this pill ever does, I'm thankful for that. She told me today she doesn't feel like she has to get up so much....so maybe it's helping...maybe she wants me to feel better about it all and she's trying to make me believe she's better....I really don't know.
Being a parent is a hard job....you never know if you screwed up until your kid gets into trouble.....and no one will ever tell you you're doing right.....coz someone always knows whats better......I will say this and think me cheesy if you want but if my kids grow up to be good, decent people I will feel I have accomplished something with my own life. Thats all I can ask for....I don't care if they become doctors or ditch diggers....if they're happy and they're good people who know how to help others and be decent folk.....I've done something right in my life.
