Don't know why this particualr rage of mine just resurfaced, but after reading all of you and Clod's posts I get SO EFFING PISSED when someone's little snowflake acts up a teensy bit, their parental units take them to a doc who immedeately diagnoses ADD or ADHD or bipolar or manic/depressive, throws them on meds and they're done.

I cry every time I read either of your threads. Those parents and docs have NO CLUE what folks like you are experiencing, and I really wish they'd pull their heads out and try some real parenting rather than medicating their own lack of discipline/caring/nurturing.

Thank you.
/Rant off.

Heh... that was the only reason I started videotaping my kid--because a friend of mine dismissed me with, "Oh I totally understand, when I tell my daughter no, sometimes she'll just get so sassy! Put her hands on her hips and say, 'You can't make me, Mommy'... the Terrible Twos, I swear." Yeah, not so much.
