Having A Child With ODD

Oppositional Defiant Disorder for those who don't know.  It's HELL!  It's a mystery.  It's ruining our relationship!  Bubba and I used to be so close.  I remember having the flu and he HAD to lie directly on top of my chest!  And that may not be like having an elephant on your chest but it's pretty darn close. 

What do you do when you're child growls at you just for trying to get him to stop digging and itching!?  I mean his allergies are leaving him raw!  I'm just trying to help but he doesn't see it.  And I know that he thinks he can just eat anything and work it off in his sleep but it isn't TRUE!  I mean YES, you burn calories while you sleep but not enough to work off a bag of sandwich buns, and dog food and carrots and anything else he's eating (foil from Reese's!) that I've not figured out yet!  It isn't like I'm letting him starve!  Shit, he could probably live off his own fat for a good week!  Oooh, he's just such a DEVIL!!!  We may have to go to some family counseling!

Anyway!  Today is WONDERFUL WEIRDOS DAY!!!  Maggie!  Anne!  Kim and Diane!!!  All of you weirdos - today is your day!  Had I known ahead of time, I would have made something for you (K & D) and brought it in today!  Oh well! 

Maggie and Charlie and Eva!  Have a safe and wonderful trip! Text/call me Maggie...although I'm in a meeting today from 8-11 so after that. 

K - I'm out...later!  Happy Friday!
