This is my first blog on here and I will use it to vent about not just about being a parent but about my Dx as  well.

I have 3 children, and only 2 of them live with me and my husband, the oldest who is 16 lives with my first husband and I am fine with that . The other 2 are younger , my daughter is 12 and my son is 8. The 12 yr old is very talented with everything from school to music, except she cant sing at all LOL. The 8 yr old is my stresser , he was Dx with ADHD & Bipolor , he takes meds and it helps but not enough, he has so much anger and for the life of me I have no idea why, he gets all the attention here at home and at his dads, he shows us no respect and acts like he is the shit.

Well last night I had enough, I busted on him, I finally told him in hopes that he was old enough to understand that when I was his age I had no mother , she had ran off and left me with my dad, and that I didnt understand why he treated me like crap when I try so hard to be a good mom, I bend over backwards for these kids and I get nothing in return , so I sat in my recliner and told my son how upset and hurt I was for the way he treats me , I am here for him no matter what and he knows it, and I also tried to explain to him that all the chaos in the house is not good for me, my numbers are nuts when he is home ,  and good when he is gone. He doesnt understand the diabetic ordeal yet, but he knows I have to poke my finger and watch what I eat, so hopefully just hopefully my talk got through to him.

I love being a mom, thats all I do now since my husband and I own our carpet cleaning business, I take care of the house and the office ( they are combined ) and I am able to be a stay at home mom and I love it . I worked for many yrs while they was young and I hated not being able to go to the parties at school and all that. My daughter understands that when I am feeling blah that I need rest , so she is very patient with me as well as my husband . But the son who is still young will soon learn more about what his momma goes through and hopefully my house will calm down .

Thank God for the weekends that he goes to his dads LOL.
