Just a vent really.

My child has ADHD and is 5yo so there's basically no impulse control in her body. Going anywhere that she has to sit is super rough and hard on her. Not something we do often because it's not fair to her. Today I took her for a treat to get her nails painted because she's been having a hard time lately.

So I thought we could handle it because it should have taken 5-10 mins tops just for a paint. I told her she has to keep her hands still but can kick her legs around to combat the not being able to jump. She's gotten her nails done so many times so no biggie right?

Well she's struggling and I'm struggling to help her and also not teaching her to mask as an accidental hidden message.

She's getting tired of it and the lady doing her nails was getting annoyed but was calm about it. I noticed my daughter getting more annoyed as the lady gets annoyed. My daughter is now annoyed and exhausted and just needed to jump literally 5mins in. And I'm exhausted from both of their energies while trying to teach my daughter "out in public body and voice"

My kid literally started not feeling well and as soon as we got home she went back to her loud,hoppy, wonderful self and feeling better.

I'm wiped out. I still have to muster up energy to vote(u.s.) and that is also draining for me. I refused to take her with me because it would have been rough on her.
