I'm so tired of it

jrandall10

Hi everyone

I am so fed up of people telling me I make our SPD/ASD daughter worse because of my behaviour towards her. I'm tired of being told she is fine at school so it must be something I am doing at home. I'm also fed up of coming in from work and hubby saying she has been fine till you got home. I'm always being told that this is her and I can't fix her, I know that but I can't help wanting to help her when something upsets her. Hubby says I have to tell her if things change and she just has to deal with so there's no point in me pandering to her. Sorry about the moan but I needed to let it out xx

  • Oh yes. Sounds exactly like my daughter! She's is 7, and is an emotional wreck most of the time that I spend with her.....Or extremely demanding to the point of where I don't know if I top can take much more without losing my temper.

    When she was in nursery I would be so very suspicious of their daily reports. She was always good. She was clever. But mostly played on her own. 'Shes been fine'. And I'd wonder if they were talking about another child, because I thought she was the devils spawn at home, she was a nightmare!

    But then I read something similiar about children with difficulties, about them being fine at school etc but losing it when they got home, because that's where they felt safe enough to express themselves. 

    Its hard, so hard, knowing that they can be ok but when they are in your company thats when they choose to lose it. I guess it's reassuring in a way that they feel at thier safest with you, but it also means that only you see them at thier worst and sometimes you feel like you're making it up! *hugs*
