I am the single mother of a five year old.  As such, I have a child that tends to.... get up and do what it is that he has decided that he is going to do at that moment.  Now, when I say that, I don't mean that he's going to go over and throw all the cups in an establishment on the ground or start screaming at the top of his lungs.  He knows better than to do any of that stuff.  He knows that I'm not going to put up with that stuff.  He knows that's a quick way to an ass whoopin in the bathroom away from the eyes of people that can't handle watching a child be disciplined the way you complain that they should be (white people).  What I mean is that he will wonder off, but still in sight of me and start chatting to someone else).  He does this A LOT. 

My issue with this is that... mmmmm... I'll say about 3/4 times, someone will feel the need to mention to me that my kid doesn't seem focused.  That maybe I should have him checked for ADD or the like.  These are never the people that he has decided to engage, mind you.  It's usually people that I'm with.  This ENRAGES me to no end.  

HOW DARE YOU LABEL MY CHILD WITH THAT SHIT FOR BEING FIVE FUCKING YEARS OLD!  We've been sitting in this restaurant for over an hour.  I'm bored, so, I know that he is!  So, you're going to start labeling him with all types of shit because he's decided "Fuck your societal rules.  I'm going to do something about this and find some sort of satisfaction"?  Seriously?  You're going to start labeling my child because you think that I should drug him until you and the rest of society has finished beating every shred of independence out of him?  

Or my favorite... people that complain that he won't stand next to me in line.  BITCH!  You've been complaining for the last 10 minutes about having to wait in line!  Are you really that mad because he has the balls to go look at some other shit while we wait?  Guess what?  If you'd been nice about this shit, I would have held your spot for you so that you could go look at some shit while we waited.  But since you wanna be a cunt about a five year old looking at whatever the fuck it is that he wants to investigate, you now have to stand here and be jealous.  Of a five year old.  You selfish, green-with-envy motherfucker. 

I mean, I get being upset if he's being a pest.  And for the most part, that's when I reign him in.  "Hey.  We don't kick the chair in front of us at the theater.  Why?  Someone else is sitting in that chair.  Be polite before I punch you in the head."  (He knows that I'm not serious about the head punch.  But he's less likely to cry about being in trouble, which people find annoying, if I make the punishment ridiculous)Then, he stops.  I've even explained to him the idea of societal rules.  He gets that.  And the ones that are more important are followed.  When he decides to talk to someone in a restaurant, if it's not a female he's decided is beautiful, it's someone who is alone and generally looks like they can use someone to talk to.  And, trust, he's REALLY good at spotting those people.  Not once, when I have gone to get him, have I been met with anything other than, "Oh, no.  He's fine.  Really.  I'm actually enjoying talking to him."  

So, I suggest you back the fuck up and stop labeling my child with your bullshit diagnosis.  Maybe if more people were like him, then, we'd all be a little bit happier, yeah?

Edit: 

And in an effort to better explain, my position, I feel like I should point out that the 3/4 of the people… are just that… 3 out of 4 people.  I guess you would assume that I’m hanging out with a bunch of people… I don’t.  I hung out with 4 people.  Three of which mentioned this.  None of them being a parent.  3 people, who were not parents… said this to me.  It’s annoying.  Just like faceless motherfuckers calling me a bad parent because I don’t want them calling my child ADD/ADHD.  The 1 person not included, was a parent. A parent that I actually brought this up to… their response, “No, you’re right.  He’s being five.”  

I'm aware that this is a very serious issue for people and children that actually have it.  That's not what I'm complaining about.  I'm just sick of people without kids or medical degrees over-diagnosing this about kids that they think don't fit their idea of what a "well-behaved child" is.
