Me: "No kidding???? Gee, I never would have noticed... because that was only the longest two hours of my entire LIFE!"
The kid needs a warning sign.

Forgot to mention huh. It's funny what they "forget" to tell you.Comment

In two hours, this kid broke a kitchen stool, knocked over a full pitcher of water, somehow managed to break the doorknob in the bathroom, and pulled the slide off the jungle gym.
The slide comes off, so it's no biggie, but no kid has ever managed to pull the slide off. It's not made so the kids can pull it off.
I felt bad for him, because he didn't mean to do any of those things. And, by the time he pulled the slide off, I was mad at him for everything else, so I kinda yelled at him.Comment

Why in the world would a parent of a special needs child place him with someone for ANY length of time before finding out if that person was capable of caring for him? How could she KNOW you could do it without telling you his diagnosis?Comment

Non-disclosure of a medical condition would be grounds for termination around here. She absolutely did not forget -- she lied. BYE BYE.
Maybe you would have taken him anyway, but the fact that she had to lie in the first place says to me "no way." How much damage will he do in a short period of time?Comment

He's a neighbor, and friend of another kid in my care. Dad had a job interview, and I agreed to watch him for two hours. He's in grade school during the year, so I'd never agree to keeping him anyway.
If dad has a second interview, I think I'll be really full that day.Comment

The problem isn't the kid with ADHD but the parent who feeds into all of it and does nothing to teach the child impulse control.Comment

Oh no I would wonder what else would she hide or lie about.
I have a severly ADHD child with ODD as well but he isn't destructive, just hyper and has a hard time concentrating. He has come a long way and tries to do his best. He has a good heart but the medical disorder is just too much sometimes. He has meds but I only use them for school. I don't like the way the meds change his personality. Maybe this child is on meds also and just wasn't medicated? If he is and u EVER care for him again I would be sure he has been nedicated that day. IF he is already prescribed that is.
The hardest I ever had it with disorders was when I had my young son with ADHD, another hyper 3 yr old and another 3 yr old with Autism. The 3 of them combined would wear me out enough plus the other 3 preschoolers. I would just pass out as soon as my head hit the pillow in the evening.
Kudos to u for being so patient with him. We all snap a lil sometime. I too have barked at a kid in the past. I think we all have at 1 point or another. We are human.Comment
