I really don't appreciate being called ignorant...

Probably about as much as I appreciate being called a weenie. But the difference is yours was an insult. Ignorant means "lack of knowledge." Sorry if you thought I said you were stupid.

Kudos to you for raising your boy successfully. Dyslexia, broken home and hyperactivity are all issues to be dealt with. They are not ADHD. Thus, the difference being that, since your son was not ADHD, you are ignorant of the parental experience of having an ADHD child.

I live with it every day.

Maybe your son is the exception to the rule, but my complaint is that waaay too many people use this "hook" as an excuse to duck their responsibility to be good parents.

There's no question raising children is a tough tough job! I blieve far too many parents are just too lazy, too distracted or flat not involved enough to take their job seriously. Kid's lives depend on parents' constant work and involvement.

And I see too many people using medications when they should be using their heads (ie, common sense). Sorry, but it makes me crazy sometimes....
