[quote=Anonymous][quote]NP here, but I've gone up to parents and said they are doing a good job (or whatever) when they have managed a tricky situation. I saw a mom with a kid having a tantrum and she managed to navigate the situation and I told her she handled it well.

[b] I think as parents (neurotypical and SN) we all could use some validation from time to time. [/b]

If as SN parents - you guys would prefer that we ignore your parenting, I'd like to know that too.

Why not just leave her alone? If my kid is having tantrum, the last thing I want is your commentary even if you mean well. [/quote]

I do but clearly, not everyone does.  I guess it's not much different than paying someone a compliment or holding open a door.  Just shows that not matter what you do, you can piss off someone.

OP - had you come up to me and noted that I'd done a good job, I would have smiled, said thank you and have had a nice glow for a little while.  I hope the negativity from some on this thread doesn't discourage you![/quote]
