My son is severely ADHD. And I am having a really hard time with my boyfriend parenting him because he doesn't understand it even though he says he does. He knows nothing about it. It's more then just hyperness. And it breaks my heart when he says I don't want my daughter acting like him. We need to set boundaries as if I never have boundaries for my son. I don't know what to do and of course he thinks he's right. How can you talk about something you have no clue about. He has it to but won't acknowledge it.

I’d talk to him about what to do with him when he’s behavioral. Give him something to calm him down or keep him occupied. That’s just one of those things you have to give your boyfriend instructions about. No one knows what to do in those situations better than you.

Exactly..... Wish it was that simple though. He thinks he doesn't need "direction" and that he just needs to listen. He doesn't take the time to listen to me about my son and that he doesn't need to be educated.. just because my son diagnosed after I met him. not long after I met him, but still after.. he's one of those guys where he does what he wants nomatter what. But what he doesn't understand is that with my son he can't be like that. Any single mother wouldn't accept that. But I have been with him for 3 years so he just thinks he has a right.. I should have spoke up earlier but I was still learning and am still

Yeah I say just talk to him. You probably still want him to help you parent though right? Just tell him your sons doctor gave you both some new methods to try and tell him how to do things the way you want him to.

You've been doing it all I bet, he needs to listen to you and take direction too in such a delicate ,personal matter and get educated, I have a friend her nephew from a young age has adhd, bi polar and a few other things don't recall the named and actually the husband and ex did good with the little boy..it was the mom that needed help ,getting boundaries and most importantly having a lot of patience with her son
