[quote=Anonymous]My 10 year old can't even tie his shoes, needs me to set a timer to read anything that doesn't have a wimpy kid or a big nate in it, and only puts clothes away under extreme duress. I avoid being shamed for this or feeling bad about my parenting by simply not discussing my kids in personal detail much with my friends, even if they have kids too. I find other things to talk about! Books, movies, travel, the poop smell in the air...sure, they bring up their kids but it's easy enough to steer conversation to something low stakes like what's something funny they did or what's a word you wish they still mispronounced. Maybe this is an art practiced by special needs parents if they want any hope of positively interacting with other parents ever again. Anyway I still feel bad sometimes but it helps![/quote]
