[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I hate when people take a mournful, I'm so sorry tone about my SN child. There's really nothing to be sorry about. You don't hurt an SN mother just by talking about your child's accomplishments any more than you hurt any other mother. Yes, there may be a stark difference between what your child is accomplishing and what this child is accomplishing but EVERY child has accomplishments and they get celebrated. Perhaps you can pop some McDonald's gift certificates in the mail to this mom and her child with a note that says "We are so excited to hear about Melanie's solo walk to Mickey D's -- that is fabulous!" Just get into the spirit of any accomplishment, that is what is called for. Don't worry about comparing your child and her child and don't play down your child -- that is phony.[/quote]
