Jen- Well maybe if someone else says "it," you'll get buy in from H.
You know, I was just thinking, ADD or no ADD, some kids are just "wired" to buck authority not matter what you do. My W is stressed out because of my "rebel" 20 y/o. My W has had to adjust her expectations and stop trying to have him conform. He has chosen his bed and now has to "sleep" in it. It hurts and causes stress but less stress than trying to counter his manipulations.
20 y/o bucked authority at the 7/8th grade level, through H.S. post H.S. and finally 3 weeks ago was told (by mom) to move out. I've known him since he was 6 but mom over compensated because she was a single mom since he was 1. We have had our own issues over discipline with him for years. So, now he has "made his bed and he has to sleep in it." Don't know that will be of any help but, you are not alone. Good luck. C2H
