Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a diagnosis described by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as an ongoing pattern of anger guided disobedience, hostilely defiant behavior toward authority figures which goes beyond the bounds of normal childhood behavior. Children suffering from this disorder may appear very stubborn and often angry.

I love my daughter with all my heart. I'd never give her up for the world, nor would I ever give up on her. However, there are days like today where I just have to look up and say, "Really, God? REALLY?." Just a sample of how my morning went:
Me: Nik, did you take your medicine?
Nikki: yes.
Me: Do you have your lunch?
Nikki: Yes.
Me: Do you have your key?
Nikki: YES!!! Uuuuuuggghhhh!!!!
Me: Hey! Don't be like that. I'm just trying to help you. Excuse me for not wanting you to be locked outside in the middle of winter!
Nikki: It's not even WINTER!!!
Me: Really...so I suppose the next thing you're going to tell me is that the sky isn't blue.
Nikki: Not today, it isn't.
Really..... REALLY????
God love her.
