Katie Bar the Door

I am going to start off full force, so watch out you have been warned...
I have a son with ADHD and my tolerance level of how other ppl treat him has reached its limit and then some. I am sick of ppl treating him like a big piece of shit. Accusing him that he does things that he does not do, bullying him into saying he did in fact do something he is being accused of just so that he wont get in trouble because no one but myself believes in him. They have this preconceived notion since he has impulse control that if anything bad happens then he did it. I am fed up. I know my son lies but when faced with punishment he will fess up. He is a very bad liar.He caves in so quickly.

While over at a friends house he was accused by the mom that he was the one boy out of 3 that was throwing stuffed animals. when this mother confronted him she said I know you threw them, tell me the truth and you will only be grounded from my house for one day, lie to me and you will be grounded from my house for one week. so what does my child do? He LIES and says he threw the stuffed animals when in fact he did not(her youngest son did) just to be able to get the lesser punishment. I know I need to get the story from the mother, to talk to her but at the moment i am just way to livid to have a civilized conversation with anyone. That fact has lead me to vent in one way that may just end up being beneficial for me. The only person who may read this is my BFF and it saves me from typing all this out in an instant message session! I know one reason I am so hot is that I am a person who hates being accused of doing something that I did not do. It makes me twitch...

I had a friend several years ago that did not hide her dislike of my son. Her dislike was solely based on his lack of attention and impulse control. He is not badly behaved, yes he has his moments like all children, nor do I claim him to be an angel. I never called her on it. You could hear the disgust in her voice when she addressed him. Yes, I am guilty of wishing that her child be blessed with some form of ADD/ADHD just so that she can get a taste of what it is like. I know I am horrible for wishing that but its the facts, I felt bad for a minute and then I got over it. You should too.
