A disruptive child certainly can make a home difficult- and a marriage too, as the parents usually wind up arguing about what to do about the child's behavior. Plus there is exhaustion- I was WAY too tired to even THINK about sex! I can only assume that the same things are true for you at this point.

> sunny10Hi Sunny,
Thanks for your opinion, I appreciate it. I tend to be the same way, I offer mine for whatever it might be worth, and hope it's helpful.
Anyway, there are 6 of us in our family, and we ALL have diagnosed ADHD! LOL Makes for some interesting, but chaotic, days! All but my husband are on medication for ADD, even the toddler. He's not on stimulants, but is on something to help with the impulsiveness and aggression. The meds help the three older kids a lot, and it's been a good thing particularly for our oldest son. He had a lot of problems paying attention in school, and it's been like night and day for him. In the girls it's more subtle, but helps them concentrate.
My guess is that, when I was a teen, I should've been diagnosed with ADD instead of Oppositional because I wasn't oppsitional, I was just pissed off at the situation. Neither here nor there now. I'm glad to have found this forum too.
