my daughter will be twelve in august! she is my little helper. i dont know what i would do without her help. i do live my my three year old sons father, but he doesnt help much. he has alot of growing up to do, he still likes to run around with his friends partying,riding dirt bikes,etc. he wont even go grocery shopping with me anymore, then again he always anymore looks so messed up and dirty, i wouldnt want him to go anyway. my daughter carries all the heavy stuff. i never realized before i got back problems just how hard grocery shopping is. it used to be fun, on food stamp day we could go and pretty much pick anything out we wanted to eat or drink, and have a card cover it. now its a dreaded disaster. i thought about the delivery service, but i like to pick my own stuff out. my three year old son is a challange also, he was already diagnosed with adhd, and let me tell you he is hyper. it takes two adults to watch him, or one fast one with a strong back.hes my little pride and joy, but his constant running and climbing keeps me moving, even on my worst days, i have to constantly run after him, for his own safty. they wanted to put him on adderall, but hes so young, we dont want our son on meds, at least not that one right now.i will have to do some checking on natural remedies safe for children with adhd.im glad there are forums like this to talk.i dont have any support system at all. after twelve years of marraige, my husband, and father to my daughter up and vanished,no child support or anything, they cant find him, he was from mexico. three years ago, when i was pregnant with my son, the most tragic thing ever happened,my mom, which was also my best friend, my only help with my kids, died. i have not been the same since. then i got struck with all these health problems and daily pain. my kids keep me going, they are all i have, and vice versa.
