I'm amazed at the assumptions on this board. I guess you get what you pay for. You shouldn't assume that I do nothing to get involved in my child's life. If I was told she was going to doctor's appointments, I would go. So your assumption FAILS. My point on this board was to get some opinions on what steps to take, and if mediation is the best avenue, as one poster pointed out, then I will take that route and get my own doctors opinion. Thanks to those who have been professional on this board. The Senior member (ecmst12) who gave no advice at all, really shouldn't waste his or her time here.
WorriedDad. I agree with you 110%.
Let me make a comment on what your original post ask first:
ADHD drug, there's a report that these drugs don't do a whole lot, some do, some don't. Do some investigating.
These drugs are prescribed and your child is a guinea pig for clinical statistics. If I were you, I would question the drugs and look for more tutoring as a different means. As for filing contempt, well, you have to decide.. court hearings here and there... but you should make every effort to determine the well being of your child is.
Many Assumptions by the board members here: I agree with you %110 !!!!
There are a lot of assumptions and insinuations on this board. People respond that have "Senior Member" status also think they're fortune-tellers and they don't read fully the facts that were disseminated by the original poster. And they'll call you snotty, arrogant, a troll, one sided, disrespectful of the mothers. Having this data now from my exposure to this board, I believe most of these responders are females who already have prejudice in their vocabulary... bias? Jilted bias females.
My experience is that what I write, these responders only interpret what they want to interpret, not what you mean of what you wrote on the board. Again my experience is that these responders and senior member status respondents accuse you of many things and they only read tidbits of all your postings. Then they start questioning your facts, calling you a liar. And I, had to explain things all over again... and I have been consistent.
Here's an example of the lack of intelligence of these senior members that they themselves think they're the galls... and who thinks everyone else is stupid that write on here...:
A senior member question my qualification in my responses and said that: "... from my postings, you don't even know laws are different for every state...".
My response back to this idiot is : "... why do you think I pay a different sales tax rate then you probably do...?". Wow .. is it because we live in a different state and we have different laws for ... ahem .... sales tax rate? Go figure senior member. And why does this site ask which state are you from? ... just so people know where the original poster is from so maybe someone from the SAME STATE would know the LAWS OF THAT STATE.
Some of these Senior Members are so arrogant in their status because they sit here 24/7 posting away, instead of going on the senior casino bus tour that stops at their front door every morning.
You should stay on this web site, and you'll will also get some great tips and ideas and answers from people that have nothing on their mind but to help you answer your questions.
Good luck... my nephew apparently have ADHD ... and we're going through the tutor route. No drugs!!!!
