Wow, I feel so tested. My kids have been outta school for spring break. So I have had them for 8 days now. I am use to getting them every other weekend. My neighbor watches em for me to work. I'm so BROKE, I SPENT TONS OF extra $ 4 laundry and food, sitter, EASTER. My grandmother had a stroke and I've only got to see her once at the hospital in a week. She can't even walk on her own. Today my mom had bladder surgery she's in the hospital. My daughter has ADHD she is extra hyper and angery and just outta control. She has been stomping and my landlord is complaing because this is a NO children building. I have stress indused sizures. Thankfully my sons father has him tonight so I only have my daughter here. My daughter took every towel outta the bathrrom and put em in the bathtub "FULL OF WATER". So I had like two loads of towels that had to be washed and dryed "i have to pay laundry". I've been so IRRIATED, and it's hot out so i'm sweating to top it all off lol. You know I know it's not the answer but, she went to sleep and i'm drinking a beer. I need so coping SKILLS.
that's some coping skills ... I did not sign in right to edit that post, i always do that.
You know I relize parenting is a full time job. That post sounded so - towords my kids. I know they are kids doing what kids do. I think most parents don't admit how stressful parenting is. No, it's not the kids FAULT. It's a fact that it's overwhelming and demanding. Yeah, I had mine way to young 18 then 21.

Hey Zero Girl! Sorry 2 hear u r stressed.I have no kids, can give no advice in that dept. BUT I will ask: does yr girl eat a lot of sugar? (That includes sodas,jam/jelly on toast, cereals, etc.) Does she get to go out & play, physically run around? Her moods may be helped by cutting down on the sugar & getting exercise. JUST A SUGGESTION!! As for my tirade about Methadone,I am only saying about the experiences I personally had with it. All my posts here, when I speak of something, it is always based on MY own personal experiences.I guess, also, that my first Detox experience was so dissappointing--We did the 21 day detox & were led to belive by all@the clinic it would be ok but we were sick as dogs!! I was so ...crushed by that. We rang the clinic & said we feel AWFUL! Is this right? Why r we so ill? I was SO looking forward to being clean, had really pinned my hopes on it. The folks @ the clinic just said there is nothing we can do for you, come back in & do another 21 day detox-w/ the unsaid :"We're your DEALER, now!"-(we paid for our done, by the way.) Ended up on maintenence & then left the country. So I had dreadful experiences w/ it,cause I was mislead about it. THAT is why I hate it so.BUT if it works for you, that is grand--whatever works for anyone is...hope u r feeling better. I always do after visiting this place. Take Care!!
