kelly60 My boys are on medication, and still sometimes wander off into a daydream. It does get frustrating, but as they get older it should hopefully happen less often. At least it is happening less often with my boys.

I don't have that many responses. I hope I don't sound like a whiney baby. I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I wonder if I should be starting the posts in larger interest groups. I hope my topics are just boring....

monica1216 I think it helps to start your discussion in top categories where lots of people have chosen that as part of their interests. Do you know what I mean? When you look at your interests it lists a number next to each one. The higher the number the more people...

my3busyboys Cool! My 14 year old wants to join a swim team. We checked at the YMCA but this session already started so he has to wait until spring. I think that swimming is a great sport to learn and really teaches endurance. Good for him!
