Last night BM sent me an email back about the situation with SD and cutting vacation short because of her behavior. BM relied once again upon her excuse of SD's allergies to pollen and how its high right now and it makes her behave this way. This is the third time BM has blamed pollen counts on why SD acts the way she does. I still don't buy it all the way. I understand that allergies can make anyone miserable and snappy, but I just don't think allergies can push a 7 y.o. to talk back, or be controlling, or just have a bad attitude in general. Are they seriously linked?
H and I still think its ADHD and BM still thinks its because of her allergies. I was reading a little about it on what I could find just through a google search and they say that symptoms of ADHD worsen when the child has allergic reactions. So maybe, possibly we could be both right. I dont know.
BM won't admit it. H told me last night that he wants SD to be at least tested for ADHD just so we can rule it out and stop talking about it. Which I think is a good idea but I'm sure BM will flip. But I told him I'd sugguest it to her in the next email.
The thing I dont get is that, if SD's doctor claimed that her bad behavior is triggered by pollen, shouldn't he have sugguested a remedy or something? BM has tried SD on Fish oil (didnt work ) Omega 3's w/ fish oil (didnt work) and now she had sugguested to me that we try an allergy medication.
BM- If you have SUCH an issue with putting yr kid on meds why are you trying her on all these different medicines?!?!!?
Doesnt make sence.
And of course whatever remedy BM chooses to put SD on, I continue it here so it has chance to work, if at all.
I'm starting to think BM has diagonosed SD herself through a little web research. Ridiculous. So now SD's famous excuse for acting badly is no lie, and I quote, "I think that tree Im allergic to was around and thats why I was giving my teacher a heard time." uuummmmmmm. Thanks BM. Now we have SD blaming a TREE for what she does. lol. I could be completely wrong.

H had fought since SD was 3 to have her tested for ADD or ADHD. H says that I am the only one that has ever approached BM about SD or about anything in general. I can't imagine NOT saying anything about it. It's making my life miserable. It's making my daughters life miserable and it will soon make my son unhappy as well. (9 weeks left!!!
In the email BM sugguested SD do yoga and meditation.........how in the WORLD is a kid with as much energy as SD going to meditate when she cant even stand or sit still for 2 seconds!? SD did yoga with me once and she laughed the whole time.

Who knows....
