I am a stay-at-home (at least I consider myself to be) mom while finishing up my undergrad degree and will soon attend law school. I have been married for 11 years and I have four children, ages 3, 6, 7, and 10. I have a very busy life making sure I am around for my children like a stay-at-home mom is. I volunteer in classes, chaperone field trips and shuffle kids to the "sport du jour." At the same time I am also juggling my class schedules and my homework. In my "down time", I participate in a book club. My son has had behavior problems since Kindergarten and he is going into the fourth grade. He is very intelligent and intuitive and sometimes this gets him into trouble. He is a wonderful and loving child. While some of his actions are deliberate and unmistakable, other actions are often misunderstood. He struggles with making friends. I am hesitant to get any formal diagnosis but I do think many would diagnose him with ADHD, especially because of his impulsivity. I am not a fan of medicating him and I find the diets impossible with 3 younger kids. I want to do what is best for him without harming who he is, I love him very much. Many people cannot relate to having four kids, I would like to know how other moms do it and can keep a well organized life, I often feel that I live amongst total chaos. Between sibling rivalry, toys galore and everyone needing me at exactly the same moments sometimes life can be a bit crazy. I am open to insight and suggestions!
