Moms of kids with ADHD

Do any of you ladies have problems getting your kids to take their ADHD meds? I am having the darndest time getting Robbie to take his meds. Its a big power struggle in the morning and he fights me tooth and nail. He takes adderall XR and I open up the capsule and sprinkle it on some chocolate pudding since I dont think he would swallow the capsule. I just dont understand why he doesnt want to take it. He takes it better for my hubby than he does for me and now that my hubby has to get up alot earlier than he used to and get to work earlier I have to be the one to give it to him.

I talked with the counselor we are seeing about it today, she gave me some good suggestions so I will at least try that. Its very frustrating. I know he needs them too. I will also be talking to our MD about her switching him to a different med either in a chewable grape tablet or a liquid or either the patch.

I am just frustrated right now.
