Is it normal to resent a hyper child?

[Anonymous]

I think my child has a behavioral problem like adhd. It’s exhausting and draining to raise this child and I just resent my child at this point and wish I never had the damn child.

Yes

No

You have to be smarter than the kid and smarter than their behavior problem. You are obviously not smart enough to deal with your child, so you need to find or ask somebody for help who is so you can learn how, and not just be a piece of shit parent. You brought that child into this world and now you must accept them, love and care for them properly. You are no longer the most important person in the world, your child is. If you are not willing to care about the child more than yourself, you have failed as a human being and need to give that child to somebody who will love them.

You can't just be like "I don't want this kid anymore" like your child is a dog you found on the side of the road. Go see a psychologist for starters, and take your kid to a child psychologist.

That's why females should have kids earlier.
You're in your late 30s to early 40s now.
The kid isn't as healthy as he otherwise would've been if you had him in your late teens or early 20s.

I would definitely seek help, if it's available to you. There is no shame in that.

Raising a child can definitely be tiring and can definitely affect mental health etc - So it would probably be worth also trying to get help for your child too!

It’s normal at times to feel tired and worn out, especially if you have a hyperactive child, but to actually go so far as to find resentment- that is not normal. You might want to speak to someone about that.

Yes, this is very understandable. Are you taking care of him alone or is his father in the household?

No, I think you should go talk to someone
