Forgive me...

Dear Blogger -

Forgive me, it has been three days since my last post. I FORGOT that I was doing Blogtoberfest, and didn't even turn the computer on over the weekend...

This is what happens when the weather is beautiful, and the kids' social lives require Mum's Taxi...

Can you just explain to me though please, why are other parents so judgemental? When you see a child acting up, throwing a tantrum, can you not do what my Mum has done, and smile, saying: "You are doing a wonderful job"?

Why do I have to explain that my child has a neurological condition that renders him a toddler at times? Do you even care that he and I are upset enough?

It is tough yakka carrying a child mid-tantrum when he is a tall and kicking near-seven-year-old. I don't need your sneers as well.

Keep it to yourself. I envy that your child can manage in social situations, at lunchtime in the playground, at mealtimes. It may seem like nothing to you, but we would give anything for him to be happy, relaxed, and accepted.

End of Rant.
