Mild Intellectual Disability

Good morning ladies! Has anyone’s child been diagnosed with mild intellectual disability?

The psychiatrist at my sons school diagnosed him with it. He is 8 years old. I was just wondering how your experience is with the diagnosis and how you deal with mental breakdowns when he doesn’t get something?

If I tell him to clean his room or even simple tasks like telling him to get ready for school, he throws a fit for a simplest things.

I’m also having a hard time with my fiancé dealing with him as he thinks he just doesn’t want to listen but really it’s the MID.

Thanks in advance! 😊

@desert_chick, I try to be positive with him as much as I can, it’s mainly my fiancé that can’t deal with him because he thinks he just doesn’t want to listen but it’s the MID. So since he doesn’t understand we end up fighting because he thinks I’m parenting against him when that’s not it at all. I’ll try the sticker chart and see if it helps with getting him to do chores and stuff. Thanks so much for replying!

My son (3yo)has a severe intellectual disability, we have found that positive reenforcement is key with our son. So when he does something good or helps out we go overboard cheering and clapping. He loves it, and even starts clapping for himself. The more he sees that positive reaction, the more he chooses positive behaviors and helping out. With an older child cheering may not be enough, maybe try a sticker chart or a physical type of reward for completing tasks/ good behaviors.

So for you ladies who asked me to keep y’all updated on mauriz’s appointment @theycallmemommy, @_sheriee, his doctor says he for sure has autism but she can’t diagnose it.. he has to go to a behavioral specialist to be diagnosed and she’s going to get him back in speech and occupational therapy.. I’m just waiting for a call from the behavioral specialist to get it all going!!

This chick that works with my boyfriend really confessed her love to my man and then went into tears when he rejected her. (Mind you, he works in a kitchen and tells everyone about me and the fact that I’m pregnant and how excited he is to have a son.) Apparently she’s started to cause him problems at work and getting jealous when he talks other females, me included😂 Like this hoe really tried it😩😂🤪

Considering Virtual School (k-12 program)

Considering Virtual School (k-12 program) I'll preface this by saying, homeschooling is not my passion. In fact it's the last thing I want to do. However my 9 year old is having real issues in school, and to be frank, the school doesn't want to deal with him anymore. He's a very high needs, emotional kid with some very significant learning challenges. It really comes down to that they want him medicated so he will comply. I'm against medication at this point. His school work is not being affected, he just has some challenges that I get are hard to deal with. I struggle too, and I'm his parent.

Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄

Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄 Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, tonight he asked for $20 incase his boss didn't give it to him. So I gave him my card not even thinking because I had kids running around me. I asked if he could pick up a few things that were out of and told him he could use my card if he has too. And I even told him not to get the expensive brands or anything m generic is fine. So he does. But when he does he decides to go Easter shopping for the kids. (Not sure if he used to my card or not) but if he did, I'd be even more pissed. He knows I have bills to pay on top of giving my son's school money that I owe them. He goes to a private school and I haven't paid in 5 months. It's towards the end of school now so I need to pay it. He knows this month I am extremely tight because of the school, im already in debt and my credit score sucks. I have been trying not to get in more debt and actually fix my credit. I'm so frustrated. It's like we have different priorities and different ideas on this. I feel like I'm completely drowning!!
