[quote=Anonymous]Minor vent. Anyone else have adult friendships that didn’t last because of parenting styles SN vs NT? I had a long time friendship fizzle. They told me they don’t approve of my “lax” parenting style and choices we’ve made with our child. Except this isnt apples to apples. The friend is a tiger mom type and is really hard on their NT kid “How does Larlo expect to get into Yale if he doesn’t get into the MS GT magnet?!!” “Why is he only 2nd chair in 4th grade orchestra? He needs to practice harder.” My child has autism and laundry list of SN. We follow a therapeutic style of parenting that was given to us by neuropsych. It has done wonders for our child, but is as far from tiger mom as you can get. It became painful to interact. My kid refused play dates because the mom “makes me feel bad.” Anyone else lose friendships over SN parent life? [/quote]
