why do my children always play up when we have vistors, its not nice they realy upset me, son who is adhd is not on meds at weekends so he is hard work any way, but once you stop taking notice of them to have a conversation with vistors its like they are competing for the worst child, i ask them to ignore each others behaviour but they seem to not tell what is acetable and what is not,
oldest is hard work everyday but when weekends are here she plays up to get everybodys attention doesnt matter if i ask everyone to ignore her bad behaviour they get fed up with it and they all start again, its not nice explining to vistors why a 22yr old is having tantrums and hitting her self

i expect lots of tantrums from the youngest but because she is tierd she has just shouted at everybody when they are anoying rather than ignore them
