now starting to worry...........

[nadine1974]

16 days off school from tomorow.

diazepam working but im groggy.

single mum.

oldest adhd and aspergers.

parents in there 70s.

weather turning cold/wet.

not going to get rest or a break from my kids.

any survival techniques please???? also got pmt lol so bit worried im going to have a meltdown and dont want my kids to suffer (or me).

i have a carer starting next week, twice week for 2 hours each time, she will be told how my son is but its hard enough getting outside help in without the worry of how my kid will behave!

help lol xx

My heart goes out to you my son was ADHD, I managed to get him into a boarding school but holidays and when he eventually did come home put me in hell.

When you sons careers arrive go out I think take full advantage xxx

[nadine1974 in reply to penny41]

the carer is for me not my son, she has been told about him as she will be here every week year round so she will encounter him holiday times xx

I feel for you hun I'm a single mum only got one but they think he has ADHD and aspergers I have a supportive family but he won't stay anywhere with out me he kicks off my mum had probs similar with my sister but Adam is so much worse she was very clingy but Adam has global delay so only functioning at that of a 3 year old. Managed to get him statemented and he starts a new school after Easter hols so just need to keep a hold of that happy thought he loves hols cos he hates school!! Hopefully he'll love the new resource base I'£ here if you need a chat to someone who understands a bit more of the daily struggles!! Hope our tablets work and get us thru hols relatively unscathed roll on 16th April!!!! Xxx

Hi bless ya i really used to lve the school holidays i was the mum with a smile on my face the day they broke up and a frown the day they went back i loved having my girls at home and before you all desend on me like a ton of bricks like i am in insane that was BEFORE i had fibro !!! if my girls were still at school now and were young so that i had to go out with them all the time then that would be different i really would feel like you at least you know between 9-3 they are at school and you get a break not in a nasty way so i do feel for you but lets hope the weather is good then they can play out in garden or with their mates at local park etc love to you all diddle x

thanku all, i get like this at the start of each school holiday!! the hardest thing is that im chairperson for norfolks gingerbread, single parent support group, and the days out etc we arrange for holidays are always good for the kids and adults alike!

last year i went on all of them as was hiring a scooter, but had send it back as couldnt afford it.

this year i doubt will be going on any as walking is a real no no!!

that with the panic attacks have made me worry about holidays more! god knows about the summer hols!!
