I WANT to be Donna Reed... | ADHD Information
But I'm not!!
I just needed to say that.
I so badly want to be that mom that speaks softly and has that child that says with a slight sigh "Oh, okay moooom." and they hug and go about their day! And THEN, they may even go on a family walk where ds rides his bike and he and his brother laugh together because brothers LOVE their time together. They don't fight and scream...And the dog's tail is wagging...It's nice there.
Instead, I find myself browzing the internet looking for miracle cures of the adhd burnout! I so badly just want to have a 'normal' 7 year old conversation with my son rather than 'lecture'. And I so badly want to be patient when the 4th time comes around of 'Can you get your SHOES ON?' comes out of my mouth. 
It's not easy, is it? And for those of you, like me, are trying to raise Christian children...does it seem so hard and do you feel the GUILT something awful for all of the things you aren't? I want to say the things that bring peace and joy and confidence to our ds, but man-when pushed and pushed and pushed...I fail a lot more than I'd like to admit.
Anyway, just making 'conversation' for anyone who's with me...
And to offer the encouragement of what I know deep down, it's okay. It's going to get better and hand those 'worries' over in prayer, He's got our back!!
