[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not surprised this devolved into another round of "Bash the SN mom."  Always DCUM's favorite stress reliever. [/quote]

Come on down off your high horse before you get hurt.  It isn't bashing a SN mom.  It is a bashing a mom who refuses to take any number of reasonable steps (including standing up to her inlaws) to avoid creating a danger and disturbance in restaurants.  And she, or others, have openly said she will do what is easiest for her and to hell with others.

Nor is this really a SN issue.  There are plenty of NT kids who are difficult in restaurants and I would expect parents to take the same sort of remedial steps to make sure their kid isn't doing wind sprints through a restaurant.  It sucks when I have to pick up and leave if one of my kids is causing a danger or a disturbance, but I do it because I don't think the world revolves around me or my kid and I don't always get to do what is more convenient for me.[/quote]

This kid isn't SN and the mother is not being bashed.  Her child has a mild behavioral issue.  The mom knows it and knows how to control her child.  She simply finds it trying to bring the child to restaurants and spend her time trying to control him.  She has a legitimate issue with her ILs insisting that the child come to family dinners.  If her husband cannot explain his child's condition to her parents, his wife can.  She can excuse herself from these family dinners and stay at home with her child while her husband attends to dinners.   I think the poster is being very considerate of others in the restaurants by taking her child outside, but why should she be forced to do that for a photo op with the child's grandparents.  Surely, there are other ways to interact with their grandchild.    OP, I will you patience and serenity.  [/quote]
