[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow OP -- you sure sound defensive. Didn't you post this as a vent about another mother's defensive attitude?

Also, this isn't  CONSTANT comparison.  You met these people for lunch and your child's skills made that mother a little insecure.  Where is your compassion?  I'm happy that, for as delayed as your DD is, she's still above-average in all of these skills.  I'm sure you're happy too and that's why you posted about it.[/quote]

+1. And, while the PP whose DC has gross motor delays wasn't the nicest, it seems that she was just trying to get more information to get a complete picture, because what you were saying didn't make sense to her. Why are you getting so emotional about this? It's not like you asked about your mother's dog that has cancer or something. You can expect a little snark when you ask about hypercompetitive parents, which I don't even think is the case here. The parents were surprised that your child with gross motor delays was doing all these things, so they expressed their surprise. It might have even been a compliment. Who knows? Not sure I trust your interpretation of events...[/quote]
