[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2nd grade is far too early to say how he will be as an adult. 2nd grade is also to early to give up. Children are developing so much at that age. [b]You have to stay on top of everything now. It will be a lot but it will worth it[/b]. [/quote]

Comments like this are the worst and least helpful. It's entirely possible, if not probable, that BOTH of these statements are false.  That's why OP is asking. How much is ever enough, and at what cost?  And statements like this reinforce the mommy martyr, because let's be honest: no dad is ever spending 30 hours a week and putting his job at risk taking their kid to unproven therapies.  Statements like the PP's are ALWAYS directed to moms.  [/quote]

I advise you to seek therapy. No one said anything about genders or parental roles. Perhaps you are projecting your own trauma within the given context? My statement remains the same. It will be worth it. I never said he will show growth. I said it will be worth it. [/quote]

DP. No, I agree - this pressure is largely on moms. And also that it is nonsensical to say “it will be worth it” with zero reference to the kid or the therapies. You literally have no basis to say that. [/quote]
