Denial, maybe? Also, dealing with a perfectly normal cookie-cutter child (if such a child exists - I am going on baby #6 and I assure you that none of mine are "normal")is challenging on a good day. The reality of life with a special-needs child sucks. It's an unfair hand that was dealt to you by G-d. If a Mom wants to vent all of her feelings, positive or negaitive, on a personal blog, who the hell are you to criticize her for her attitude? Did G-d appoint you judge and jury over what attitude is acceptable? By the way, I know WG in personal life, and sometimes I wonder how she has such a positive attitude.Ani Od Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748289916613355771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565739.post-3039354460143841232011-02-10T00:56:42.083-06:002011-02-10T00:56:42.083-06:00You have such a bad attitude!!! I have a six year ...You have such a bad attitude!!! I have a six year old son who has SOTOS and I've been through hell and back with him, family members, therapists, medical doctors, and specialists but my attitude is completely different than what you have portrayed through your free lance writing. Your attitude sucks. I know it's not easy being a mom to a child with SOTOS but you need to change your outlook and look for the positive things your son does, verses the annoying things and things you hate! It really upset me reading your blog....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565739.post-44664700749419769462006-12-13T11:56:00.000-06:002006-12-13T11:56:00.000-06:00That therapist sounds horrible...it makes you wond...That therapist sounds horrible...it makes you wonder how she even keeps a job like that. I too hate people traipsing through my house. Of course our EI system is so lame that we only see them once a month but I hate it. <br /><br />When you say the part you hate about being D's mother is that it makes you confront the worst parts of yourself...yes. Yes yes. You summed up so well what I've been struggling to understand.tAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565739.post-19778269899058030162006-12-13T00:39:00.000-06:002006-12-13T00:39:00.000-06:00Dear lord I hate the whole "can you feed the stuff...Dear lord I hate the whole "can you feed the stuffed teddy bear/dog" thing. Our speech therapist evaluator was actually pretty good and took into account things we said he did at home and was nice so I can't complain but the whole "the stuffed bear is hungry - can you feed the bear?" thing? No way. I mean, who does that???<br /><br />This happened at our last evaluation too (not speech, just a general evaluation with a pediatric development specialist) - at one point, when he was playing with toy cars that he grabbed from a bag of toys that she gave him, the doctor leaned over with a tiny doll and a tiny bottle and asked LM to give the bottle to the baby. He looked at her as if she was crazy, as if to say "dude, I have cars here, you want me to play with some stupid doll? It doesn't have wheels!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565739.post-87656008831331418142006-12-12T23:42:00.000-06:002006-12-12T23:42:00.000-06:00No one ever knows your child like you do.

Now that he is 16, I sometimes wish he would be quiet.Still just mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18111486751043606303noreply@blogger.com
