Picked J up from the play centre today and there was a worker I hadn't seen there before. She opened the door to me and immediately said "Very difficult!" I'm sorry? "J was very difficult today! Running around everywhere and wouldn't listen, blaming everyone else! Very difficult!" All in his earshot. She went on like this, in this kind of outraged tone, also saying to J at one point "Do you hear, J? You were very difficult today!" Finally, I said to her, in a lower tone "Do you know he's hyperactive?" Oh yes, she said breezily, they knew all about that! But still sometimes he listens and does as he is told and today he did not...
Why did she do this? What am I supposed to do, if anything, about it? Today has been and gone, no good my trying to scold J about it, I don't know what happened and it would be meaningless to him.
Makes me realise what a lot of poor parents of ADHD kids go through here. They are constantly given this sort of thing at school, at the end of the day or in notes back home... thankfully I am largely spared it. Oh no, shouldn't say that, it will be famous last words...
