ADHD in Children

honey asked:


I have been with my fiance for just over a year now. He has 3 teen daughters (twin 13 year olds and a 15 year old) that live with their mom. These girls are very hyper due to having ADD/ADHD (one of them has both, the others each have one or the other; the one with both is also a bit developmentally delayed). We both love these girls very much and are protective of them.

The problem is that anytime my fiance is around them, he tells them to be quiet so he can watch the TV, won’t play with them (such as rough house, which they want to do, play video games, etc). When he has them in the car, he tells them to be quiet, or to shut up, because he is driving. The girls are very upset that they don’t know their dad because he won’t spend actual time with them. Instead, he goes and pays their allowance, etc, stays for a few minutes, then leaves. How are they supposed to get to know him that way?? Their mom and I talk about 1-2 times a month, or more. She has asked me to talk with him.
When I do talk with him, he says ok, then doesn’t do as I have suggested. I encourage him to spend time with them as much as possible (he works in the same town they live in and we plan to move there soon). What can I say or do to get him to understand why he needs to do things differently? He is NOT like this with others, just with his girls.
These are all great ideas everyone. Thank you. One problem is, tho, that the girls don’t feel comfortable coming over to our house for more than a few hours because they don’t know their dad. Only one of them has come to our house once for a few hours, and we have been here for 8 months. They don’t feel comfortable going anywhere with just him. If I am there, they have no problem. I have taken 2 of the girls to a mall once while he spent time with the other girl and their mother.

I think that he might be afraid of spending time alone with them and really doesn’t know how to have a good relationship with them. I have let him know all that I have figured out over the years (I helped my ex raise his 2 and I was a nanny for 2 years to 4 kids). He says he understands, but doesn’t do anything different.

The mom speaks to me because she has tried with him since the girls were first born, and he still hasn’t changed. He has changed in other ways with me, just not this.
