The ODD Mom

About me

Location	Ontario, Canada
Introduction	I am "that" mother. You know the one I mean. The one whose child is melting down in the middle of the grocery store or is running up and down the aisle at church. Or maybe you don't know me, because I've stopped going out in public with my child. But I'm not a bad mother, despite what people might think when they hear my child yelling obscenities at me. In fact, I deal with more parenting challenges in a week than most parents probably deal with in a year. I'm an ODD mother -- the mother of a child with Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I'd love to say this doesn't define me, but something that consumes your every waking hour can't help but define you. So rather than hanging my head in shame, I've decided to wear the label like a badge of honour. Come with me...it's an ODD life I live.
