[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has it occurred to you that maybe HE is worried?  Your post sounds a little self-absorbed...[/quote]

But the way he presented it was- "You need to bring this up at his 18 month appt" and worry about it up until then.  DH knows I'm a bit (read a lot) anxious about my child and we've had this discussion many times- please don't make me anxious about things I can do nothing about.  I guess it just pisses me off that he'll say something then settle back to watch TV and I'm home with DS all day watching him and thinking about what may be.

I guess I'm hoping to hear that other toddlers know their letters too and it's not out of the norm.[/quote]

"You need to bring this up at his 18 month appt." That's the problem right there. Anyone who starts a sentence with "you need to..." needs to shut his pie-hole. If he's so concerned about possible autism, then HE should be bringing it up at the 18 mos appt.

[b]As for you worrying, that's on you. No one makes you feel anything. You're responsible for you. Stop framing this as "you make me anxious when you say x". Both of you would do well to start all your sentences with "I" rather than "you." [/b][/quote]

Thank you for this.  It's my pet peeve when people try to blame others for making them feel a certain way (anxious, guilty etc.)  Total lack of responsibility.
