I'll try to keep this short and sweet.
The wife and I are pretty much at the end of our tether with the boy at the moment.
If he isn't stealing food from the cupboards, which involves climbing on worktops etc to reach, he is constantly whining, throwing silly little tantrums, crying over being told no, refusing to listen and being all round hard work.
We have tried rewarding good behaviour, we've tried taking things away he enjoys for doing the above, we've tried talking, we've tried other forms of discipline but nothing is working.
Anyone got any ideas on what could get through to him?
For reference his Uncle was a right terror as a youngster and has/had ADHD.
You are doing well, first only focus on your career, don't think about any thing. You can manage your family with some part time job after completion of your degree you will be able to handle all the problems. :cheer:
