[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't know how you do it. I admire you.[/b] So you think my kid is a burden and must be hell to raise?Aww thanks for your pity, but no thanks. My child is a gift and if you had child with the same challenges, you would rise to the occasion. [/quote] Awwwww, yeah. That one makes me want to punch someone in the face. [/quote] [/quote] I don't know, I think it is worth cutting people slack when they say "I don't know how you do it." They generally mean it as expressing empathy about the fact that it is hard to have a kid with special needs--which it is!, complimenting you on doing a good job, and saying truthfully that they don't know what it would be like or how they would handle it. (Of course, my son with SN is only 2 so I of course reserve the right to change my mind and start to get more pissed off about hearing this after I've been at it for longer.) [/quote]
