  I'm such a drug addict. Sucks. And addicts get bored much more easily than other people. The whole 'cant sit still' thing...makes working at a boring nothing-to-do job that much worse. : (
  Okay, no more feeling sorry for myself - very unattractive I know.

i have posted this question not too long ago, but would like an additional input from Baltimore, MD moms re neighborhoods and schools. Was hoping DH's prospective company will assign a relocation associate to show me some communities, but that seems unlikely. I have one day to drive around, look at school and real estate. Could someone please steer me in the right direction? We are non-observant Jewish (though traditional) family. Kids in elementary (on G&T, one SN). Looking for a community with reasonable commute to Randallstown, not too suburban, something like Millburn/Summit, NJ for lack of better analogy. Signing off for now, but will look at all responses in pm. Thanks so much!

very close friends who do not like our daughter (10 yo). Our kids engaged in developmentally appropriate conflict at home and at school. Name calling, etc. Their dd said equally unkind things as ours, but they have decided that ours is the one to blame. They refuse to acknowledge any part their dd plays in the conflict. They told their dd and the school to "stay away" from our dd and that they didn't want to our girls to be friends. Seems like the school should be helping with conflict resolution, etc. No?

12 y/o ds just diagnosed with add (or ADHD predominantly inattentive)and LD NOS (processing speed) I initiated the assessment because his ISEE and two years of ERB scores were stunningly low i.e. 1st stanine for qunatitative reasoning even though he is in accelerated math in school. I'm in a bit of shock right now. He is a really good student and I don't know what to think. He was marginally cooperative during the testing but the Drs think it didn't influence the result. He doesn't know and I'm not sure I should tell him and shake his confidence. Dr wants him to have weekly session with a learning spec to learn how to "think" and study and organize facts etc. Does this sound familiar - is that a good way to remediate? tia

Elementary Anxiety over coughing...(more) 3-18-2013 6:22pm (37 replies)
I have been fighting issues with my child being sick for over 2 months now. We took her to a doctor at least three times. Once she was given antibiotics and was allergic to them. Then she was given a different type of antibiotic which seemed to shut down her respiratory infection, but never really got rid of her cough fully. Now, I'm certain that she has allergies (we all do right now) and every time she coughs, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I have a good, loving relationship with my child, so why do I feel so resentful and insane every time I hear her cough? It's constant. I stay at home with my child and her father is our income source. He refuses to take her to another doctor, even though I insist she has allergies and we just need to take her to someone who will deal with that. I am at my wit's end.

        You're right. I need to take charge. We have no health insurance. I need to start calling around and fixing this issue before it does any more damage.

      I know my resentment must be misplaced. I have to tell myself that every time I hear her cough. We haven't been to an allergist, that's where I'm trying to get her. He is just...weird. I don't know why he doesn't even care to try. It has caused problems between us.

        Correct. He won't take her to any more doctors. As in, he won't pay for any more visits.

        He wouldn't care what I did as long as it didn't involve him or his money.

    It's a wet cough. It's not worse at night, but it is worse in the morning, which is when my allergies are the worst right now, too. I'm not coughing, but I am a slave to clearing out my sinuses. When she's with me, I try to keep her sinuses clear, too. But when she's with her dad, it gets worse because he doesn't do anything or the allergens are worse at his house. It just occurred to me that I should put a humidifier in her room at night, perhaps.

- Bring her back to the pediatrician and ask what you should do. You'll feel better and less anxous if you know what it is. 3-18-2013 6:26pm

    They'll just charge me for another visit. I'm going to go there, and they're going to want to run a bunch of tests. I have no money without her dad paying for it, which he refuses to do.

        We have a complicated relationship. We are not married. We live in separate houses. I work once a week but spend the rest of my time, homeschooling her and caring for his house.

        I'm not afraid of him, but he is very stubborn. Whenever I get into this subject with him we just end up screaming at each other and nothing gets done. I'm more fed up with him than anything.

        Haha. Thanks, that kind of lifts my attitude. Fuck him, right? I think I'm going to just start asking around. I just remembered my friend telling me about this doctor that she really likes and I looked up their website. They have a no health insurance plan for their facilities and I've heard good things about them. It's only $40 a month for one person. I can probably pull that off on the small amount of money I make (usually about $400 a month, which I spend on groceries).

        Yes. A little while ago things were a lot different. I am homeschooling her right now, so when the school year is over, I will be getting a fulltime job. The past couple of months have proven to me my need to gain independence. I have zero interest in living under someone else's command.

  you are poor. Secondly, the cough--I'd worry about asthma. You NEED to get that checked out if you don't want dd to end up in the hospital. In fact, in your shoes, I'd probably head to the nearest ER, get her breathing checked, and if they give you medicine for her, use it.
