School Holidays

I am almost at the stage of strangling my children. What has not helped is that my son who is 11 1/2 (and aspergers) seems to be hitting puberty and is slowly turning into kevin the teenager. My 6 year old daughter is like a limpet and constantly wants to be entertained. My other son who is 10 (and also aspergers) constantly wants me or Mrs lite to play Yu-gi-oh card games constantly, which we cannot fathom out how to play or even understand.
Pass me the gin, cheers to all other parents in the same boat.
Self indulgent, incoherent whinge over. Thanks.

Our 16 year old son is ADHD and the singular reason his younger sister did not appear on the scene for 8 1/2 years. Fortunately she is the complete opposite and their younger brother is just so different to both of them.
The entertaining is so draining and in our case the endless need for an audience to moronic behaviour. We have no idea how you cope. Good luck.
My eldest also has aspergers - I don't know if he is a know-all because of the condition or because of his age but you can't tell him anything. He already knows everything about everything, even when he hasn't the foggiest.
7 year old daughter - is there a hormone surge at this age??? often wonder where we're going to be in the teenage years.
5 year old and 3 year old - they are great but the 3 year old will p!ss in odd places around the house
Love them all dearly and wouldn't have it any other way but after 7 weeks, I am ready, and they are ready to go back..
Actually, Sept is going to be ace - they all will be in school as the 3 year old starts at the nursery class at the same school. So, only 1 school drop off and 2.5 days to ride my effing bike!!! wooo hooooo
No kids here, but Mrs Hrun is hard enough work so "Chapeaux"
Hope Mrs Hrun doesn't read this forum.......
So was Mummy Hrun, how stupid are you
Friends on facebook have spent all summer looking for ways to get rid of their beloved kids. Why have them

Not quite as good a contraceptive as working in a well known shoe shop (who shall remain nameless) during the back to school period..........puts you right of having kids for a long time!!!
I played with Lego and worked summers in a shoeshop chain.
Now I understand my reasoning for not wanting kids
Oh my, WillHub is your son?!?
My six year old girl is how I remember my sister being when she was 13-14. A right addichood!
Bring on the school!
Answer - very stupid! Thirteen weeks paid holiday a year, totally ruined!!!
Bionicle. If I live to be 100 and never see another bionicle I will be happy.
My 6 year old daughter is a member of Moshi-monsters, an online thing where she has a little community and monsters to look after and play. It is a constant, "Daddy, come and look at this", when all I want to do is sit for 5 mins with a coffee and look through a week old sunday supplement I haven't had time to look at yet.
I am going bonkers, roll on Thursday, kids off to school, bit of shopping, a nice little lunch out and a siesta of sinfulness with Mrs Lite. Happy days.

I was looking forward to September - youngest starts school and I planned some good ride time before winter creeps in and before I think about going back to work in a few months. No such luck - daughter is on a 4-week induction programme - 2hrs a day at school!! She doesn't start full-time until October (and then it will nearly be half-term). Grrrr. I know I shouldn't wish away the childhood years but she is so excited about going to school and ready to do a 6 hr day (she did 4 hr sessions at pre-school), and I am so ready to get some long rides in again.
My children on the other hand (who are now young adults) always looked to me and Mrs Tank for entertainment. My eldest has Aspergers and was very hard work but to DMCLite and co stick at it put the effort in on behalf of you children (with extra needs) and the rewards will be fantastic, believe me, I have the tee-shirt.

The oldest has a personality disorder and suffers from depression so depends on me 52 weeks a year. The youngest has just finished A levels and is off to Uni at the end of September and thinks she knows everything.
They are continually arguing, and the oldest thinks she has 2 mothers, the youngest thinks she is second best.
But lo and behold anyone who criticises one of them - they will then stick together like glue.
Roll on the end of September when one goes off to Uni and the other has no-one to argue with.

I'm too worn to explain, sorry.
Don't worry, I'll find out myself. Looks like summer's starting just in time for the end of the holidays though.
\\\\\\no it doesn't mean that at all. My lad stuggled to cope with everyday things.
The way it was put to Mrs Tank and I was thus. If we all have ten doors in our brain through which information travels freely in an Aspergers person one is shut. This results in information becoming jumbled and confusing to the sufferer. This makes making "head and tails" of ordinary things difficult.
Frankie had to be taught all kinds of everyday things the sort of stuff others just seem to pick up. Social situations were a nightmare for him/us the analogy I use is If I were to get an invite to an official function where certain protocols have to be followed I would feel on edge. To Frankie everyday situations caused massive levels of anxiety. It really CAN be a debilitating condition, obsessive behaviour, rigid thought patterns etc it is a complex condition and one you have to "live with" to fully appreciate.
We were able to turn our boys obsession with computers to his advantage and at 24years old he holds down a great job, drives 70,000miles a year and lives with his Partner and does plenty of DIY around his home.
It has been a very tough journey but one well worth making. I wish you well my friend, said it before stick at it you only get out what you put in.
