Hi,

I have a child with ADHD who will be turning 11 the end of the month. He has had a hard time making friends in the neighborhood so usually play's alone. Me also have lived in the Port St. Lucie, Fl. area for over 5 yrs. now and have not made any friends to hang with. I am a stay at home mom and would love to meet another woman friend to be able to hang and talk with. It get's lonely and a bit frustrating dealing with my son who has ADHD. He is a good kid but the constant not listening and telling him over & over & over to do something get's old...lol  I know alot of woman my age (turning 50 Tues...WOW) already have their own friends and don't have time to make new ones.

If you also are looking to meet a friend in Port St. Lucie....I'm here !!

I'm turning 50 in June also. I too have a son (almost 9) adhd. However I'm in Chicago, so I could be a cyber-buddy. LOL Wish I were in Florida with 8 inches of snow on the ground here.

I should warn you about this group of ADHD Mom's. They are very addicting.  A nice group of ladies. Welcome to the group.

My son is the same way, he has issue making friends and keeping friends. My son tells me that he's bullied at school and etc.

It makes me sad that he has no friends. He does not have good social skills. And with the ADHD the kids don't understand it and would rather not be around him.

I am confused with this new Cafemom I just joined. How do I respond and talk with the person who replied to my message. I am used to FB and this is all new to me.

Hi,

My son will be 11 Jan. 30. It is rough. He is on Vyvance 30mg. We just tried Strattera. which did not work, made  him worse. I don't know about yours but mine never listens, does whatever he want's no matter the consequence. They say it's the impulse but damn.....it drives me nut's....lol
