Genuine question, my #AuDHD children struggle with emotional regulation and are hyper-sensitive to heightened emotions. My partner seems to be incapable of managing his emotions either. How do I teach emotional regulation to my children when their dad cannot manage it?

Poor Grendel is having Big Emotions at Medusa’s birthday party. She really struggles when her sister receives presents she wants. #AuDHD

Medusa went to school with her friends for the first time since the second day of term! This is a huge step in the right direction #AuDHD

Currently dealing with school refusal from Medusa. How hard do we push her to go in? The school and we have done everything we can to ensure it’s a safe space but she can’t get past the anxiety. It’s breaking us, and her… #AuDHD

Discovered long trail of toothpaste from the bathroom window down the side of my house. Explained to the girls that I wasn’t mad, no one had done anything wrong, but in future they were not allowed to squeeze toothpaste out the bathroom window. 😆 #AuDHD

Hey, had a little moment of overwhelm myself yesterday, slept on the couch I was so mad. We all have moments like this, and at least I’m angry-overwhelmed, rather than sad-overwhelmed (which then leads to deep scary depressive moments).

Grendel’s form tutor called the day before school began to ask how she was and if she had anything she wanted to ask for the next day. It’s the little things that make an amazing teacher #AuDHD

Grendel went to school today happy as a lark, having spoken with her form teacher the day before to check through any worries. She didn’t even bother to say goodbye! 😆

First day of the new school year and Medusa ended in a weeping ball at the end of my bed, unable to join her friends on the first day because of her crippling anxiety. 😢 #AuDHD

Wandering around the house trying to find my book: to which rooms did I attempt to escape from my children for five blissful minutes of being Not Me?

Lack of routine this week is killing us all slowly: girls are dysregulated and unable to self-regulate, I’m overwhelmed and crying all the time, husband is fed up. Urgh. #AuDHD

Every so often I feel utterly despairing about my life, but then I see a pregnant woman and remember it can be so much worse…

Grendel tried a new sport today: she didn’t know anyone there & it was in an unfamiliar location so this was a huge step.
Medusa, meanwhile, gathered her courage & went to a summer camp without her sister, or knowing if any of her friends were going. I’m bursting with pride. #AuDHD

Another blow-up: Medusa was upset we didn’t buy something she expected & wanted. Husband got angry, said she’d ruined everything, refused to join us for dinner. She calmed down but that evening had a major anxiety episode. Took me an hour to calm her down & another to calm me down #AuDHD

Medusa was very anxious about going to summer camp this morning. Husband kept piling the pressure on: you’ll be late, you’ll make your sister late, I have work I need to get on with work etc. Medusa finally ended up curled in a tiny ball weeping incoherently, unable to go anywhere. #AuDHD

In the car and my husband is listening to the cricket. I often compare watching cricket to watching paint dry: right now I’m LISTENING to paint dry. FML

Grendel struggled with a change to routine today that meant she would need to be ready by 9. This resulted in anger, flapping & throwing things, & grunting as she exhibited extreme distress. I removed all pressures but it still took an hour to calm her down. #AuDHD

I was telling my colleagues about our recent holiday and how pleased I was with how it went and how the girls overcame every challenge. They told me it was fascinating listening to how I parent: a how-to guide for them in the future with their kids.
I just about cried. #AuDHD

Medusa also cracked this evening: weeping about how she makes everything more awful. I ruin everything! she wailed. What’s the best response? (Apart from garrotting husband who repeatedly tells her this?) Then came the school anxieties until she was crying so hard she was shaking. #AuDHD

Grendel had a full-on sensory meltdown tonight, I don’t know why. Couldn’t stand to touch anything, physical movements jerky, almost outside her control. Tried a bunch of different things but eventually she tired herself out and feel asleep #AuDHD

Grendel desperately wants to do a mine tour. Medusa is incoherent with rage because she’s terrified it will collapse & we’ll die. She won’t come with, she won’t let us go alone. Grendel is in meltdown because she set her heart on it. Husband has checked out, patience exhausted. It’s 11am #AuDHD
