Grouchy Nanna. I feel I’m turning into this. My daughter and two boys live with me. Daughter has med issues so appreciates my help. Grandson 1 is nearly 8. He has Aspergers and mild ADHD. I find I am less tolerant of him just now with his odd comments and silliness. Academically he is bright. I snap or rant at him - I remember doing that when my kids were small and I was on my own with them after divorce. Any tips please?? We have just gone through Court issues as his dad - who thought nothing of clearing off for 3 years playing in a band on cruise ships (he had great local job and abandoned it). He’s ended up with more access including almost half holidays. This is basically turning poor kids life upside down and he is so agitated returning from seeing dad. His dad bullied daughter for years but dr refused to say her stress etc was due to this so no legal aid. All stressful. I hate it when he’s with his dad because the man is clueless about Aspergers but knows it all!
