My daughter has ADHD and has also been diagnosed with ODD. My kids and I recently moved 800 miles away from where they have lived their whole lives to move in with my parents. I am a single, disabled, mother of two small children. My daughter has been doing significantly better since we got here in February. She has been doing ok in school and likes it there. We have only had one episode since we have been here and her ADHD medication is working well. I also immediately got her in therapy when we or here and has been going once a week. It really seems to be helping. We had nothing where we were. My disability didn't cover my bills and we had nothing and mainly didn't go anywhere. They were even times I couldn't afford presents for my kids but we always got by. My kids always had what they needed. Now that we are here and my parents are helping. My parents Have paid for the kids to take gymnastics, swim lessons, this summer soccer camp and basketball camp. Now my daughter is acting ungrateful and nasty all the time. She is way to negative for a 5 year old. When she gets in trouble she says things like you don't love me and you don't want me. When I say no to something like going to the part she goes off the deep end like like I never get to go and I never will get to go again. I just don't know what to do. If I take away her activities then she has no way to get all that hyperactivity Out and it's torture for all of us. I am stressed out and overwhelmed and I don't know what to do. For someone who has had nothing you would think she would be over appreciative and not greedy and nasty. Advice would be appreciated.
