[quote=Anonymous]I kind of like "He's lucky to have you advocating for him" because I put a tremendous amount of effort into it and any praise for that is welcome. I don't like "I don't know how you do it" or "Better you than me" because I think most people would do what they needed to do out of love for their child. Plus, it implies to me it's all tedious and it isn't. There is a lot of joy in watching my child light up and blossom as he learns things even if it sometimes isn't at the same rate of his peers. He's a really fun (and entertaining) child to be around once he is comfortable with you and his laughter is infectious. What I do NOT want is any form of pity. Ick. Bleck. That implies to me the person thinks my child somehow doesn't measure up and it offends me because the person is seeing the disability not the child.[/quote]
