He drives me crazy sometimes and I end up saying hurtful things.
I know it is wrong.

    perhaps you own impatience is where he inherited some of his traits

    consider being evaluated as well to better understand where he is coming from

    Talk to your own doctor. It may be that you have problems of your own.

    I think you need to talk to a doctor about the problem and they may be able to either give you a medicine to calm your nerves or give you good medical advice on what to do.

    my son has adhd as well & we have tough times. you've got to get it into yourself that his problem is not being done to hurt or being done out of malice. he has a brain disorder. so when you're losing your mind with him, take a time out for yourself. you need it, he needs it. my son has a terrible time learning to read & some things that seem so simple to you or i make no sense to him. we we reach a point where its all frustration, it's break time. both of us regain our strength then. it's hard, but just try to keep it in mind when he's driving you nuts!

    Wow–tough situation. Children can drive you nuts, but as parents we have to really strive to not get drawn into the same craziness. Talk toyour doctor about it and do not be ashamed. Things are so stressful these days and we all can just get overwhelmed. Do you have other outlets for your stress? Make sure you have some 'me' time every day–and do not feel guilty for that-it may help everybody inthe long run. Good luck.

    I have the same problem!!!! Is your son on medication? I notice mine is way more irritating if im late giving him his meds or when they have wore off. I always tell him that im sorry i flipped out- we've tried counseling and you know that doesnt work- i felt like it was just me having a *itch session for an hour about what he had done all week. I think it helps when i put my hand on him and pray for him and self control before he wakes up. Then I seem to have more control over my anger when he does the irritating ADHD things they do

    Some kids NEED the trip behind the wood shed. That is the only thing that will put them in there place.

    You are never supposed to use ANY physical punishment ever.That will only make it worse.
    Go to the doctor.
    Ask about patches too as far as medication goes.You will see a HUGE difference.
    And he will thank you :)
