[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yeah, you got it right.

I think she thinks that her amazing parenting skills created her son (who hardly makes eye contact or talks but is a "good boy" in school and "listens").

I feel sorry for the children she is in charge of.

Oh, and my DD's awful behavior? Climbing on the back of her couch when she was 4. It was so unforgiveable she brings it up three years later.

So, apparently, a 4 year old who climbs on the back of couch after being told not to is "Clearly" parented differently than her angelic child.

This SIL has other "issues" but I found it appalling in particular that she would single out a small thing like that, which actually is normal 4 year old behavior or boundary pushing OR possible ADHD, as some big example of something to hold against her. And us.

She has spent only a few hours with her over the course of her 7 year life.

My point being: an "educator" who thinks she has ADD but does not treat it is not necessarily going to show compassion (or even curiosity/understanding) for kids with ADHD.[/quote]
