I just am at a loss at what to do. He is ADHD, Sensory and probably somewhere on the spectrum. He can be difficult. I love him more than anything but, yeah, he can be difficult. So many things I want to say, how we went wrong as parents, how we didn't do this right (and should have done 3-4 friends, a special day for HIM instead of this). My wife wanted to throw him a big party, my wife and I have been through some shit we're just getting over so I didn't want to pick this as a battleground, and...Anyway, I don't even know if this will upset him the way it's upsetting me. His best friend is coming. Some other friends are coming, we hope we think (North Cal isn't the best with RSVPs)I also hope his experience in life is like mine, just with better parenting. I didn't find "myself" until post-puberty, which for me was early.I'm reading this back and it seems narcissistic, but I don't care what people think of me---- but I'd do anything in the world for him.I tell him all the time the same thing I tell all my candidates (I'm in HR/Recruiting)... You're the most wonderful, ripest, most delicious peach on the tree... but not everyone likes peaches. That's fine, because people who like peaches REALLY like peaches.Anyway, sorry for the long venting that doesn't really say anything.I want him to be happy. I want him to be happy being who he is and fuck the haters.and no one is coming to his birthday and I am so sad for him. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2E6CE5R
