Message:: [QUOTE="Sheila Ruley, post: 3126390, member: 76273"]Most definitely! I have always been extremely temperamental my whole life until I had kids. Maaaannn, the patience I have now!! My daughter, Kylie, is ADHD along with oppositional defiance disorder. (Which goes hand in hand with ADHD). She just turned 7 today. And my almost 3 year old son, Justin, is autistic. He is so laid back. He constantly entertains himself and is laughing all the time. So, I have been forced to learn a patience that I never ever even dreamed of!! My daughter is small like me. I give her a growth hormone therapy shot every night. She still has the bones of a 4 year old. I do not want her to be small like me. Getting jobs, getting waited on at stores, finding cars I can drive and constantly having to climb onto the counter to reach things has always been a pain. I will be 41 next month and I am only getting older. So, climbing like that is getting more difficult and dangerous. I do not want my daughter going through all that. Now, my husband is 6 feet tall. My son takes after him. He is a big boy. He weighs just over 2 pounds  more than my daughter.[/QUOTE]
