[quote=Anonymous]This rainy day is making me a bit down, and I had a chat with another woman this morning who said what is quickly becoming the #1 phrase that makes me want to destroy something:

"You should enjoy the fact that DD isn't walking yet, because it's the best kind of delay!".

No, it really isn't.  DD is 18.5 mo, and still unable to pull herself up to a stand, or to sit down successfully (w/o help) from a standing position.  She doesn't roll.  She has orthotics on her feet, and will have them indefinitely, and when she does start walking, we will need to spend at least $1k on custom orthotics.  She does not cruise, and she does not show any interest, really, in exploring the house when she crawls.  Most of the time she sits in one place, and doesn't really want to move around at all.  I realize, really I do, that when people say that, they are trying to help me look on the "bright side", but I would honestly give ANYTHING right now to be able to chase my little girl around the playground, house, neighborhood, etc.  A simple "I'm sorry, that sounds really hard" would be so much better as something to say :(.

Anyone else have a rage-inducing catch phrase?[/quote]
