Children with ADHD. Real or bad parenting?

[BrilloPad]

I'm sure some parents seek (and maybe get) an ADHD diagnosis to excuse their bad parenting. I remember once, when I worked in a creche, one parent insisting her child had "seperation anxiety", as that's what the doctor had said. The kid was fine once mum was out the door. It was mum who had the separation anxiety.

If you're implying that ADHD is not a real thing, then I disagree.

Anyway, giving kids a good hiding is indicative of the decline in morals in this country. Rooftop snipers - it's the only solution.

+1. The original post was very badly framed.

Is ADHD a disability?

AFAIK ADHD can be treated with medication (or, frequently, dietary changes). To me a disability can't be negated through medication.

ADHD (if the real thing) should be a disability.

I have just had to put up with the youngest autistic one in church for an hour. Thankfully I borrowed a lovely baby to cuddle for a while which made it worthwhile.

Good idea. Lets give disabled kids a good hiding. Would you like to hand them over to Jimmy Savile? Or stick them in cages like at the zoo and let people pay to visit and laugh at them?

You've still never got over making a complete arse of yourself that time I posted the "MarillionFan, world's least-talented sockie hunter" rebuff, have you fat boy?.

I'm sorry like, but that video of yours was complete pish.

Boohyah!

Did your parents used to call you a naughty boy as well???

I don't care how slim your kid's tellys are, or what their resolution is. You're still an awful human being, and by implication a bad parent.
