[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a special needs kids too so I get the need for an anonymous vent, op.

I do also wonder if you are creating a false dichotomy-like because someone’s kids don’t have or haven’t been diagnosed with special needs they can be readily molded into being consistently kind and mature.

Yes, some parents are jerks not worried about raising here but plenty of parents are kind and working hard on kindness but are  raising kids with difficult temperaments, upheaval at home that makes them act out, milder and not diagnosed anxiety or mood issues, etc etc etc.

not saying that to say you shouldn’t vent but I find it’s easier if I think of other non special needs kids parents as also working hard on a tough job. [/quote]

This. My kid who is on the spectrum has said unkind things to us about one of her friends who has a physical disability. We always address this when it comes up and reiterate to our child that it is not okay to criticize someone for a physical disability over which they have no control. I fervently hope my child never says anything like this in front of the other child. But I also hope that if they do, the other family understands we are doing whatever we can. My kid can be a wonderful and kind but also has issues with rigidity, having a one-track mind, and lacking empathy when frustrated. We are working on it. She is not an a$$hole. [/quote]
