[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, here. I guess I feel the need to defend myself a bit here. My son’s been having issues with feeding - gagging, choking, hard swallows, coughing - for the past 8 months (as in, when he started solids). The daycare has catered meals; he already had a designated lunch buddy (an adult who sits with him while he eats) and had been getting food that is chopped in smaller pieces than his same-age peers. So after he got a piece of pear the size of a Cheerio lodged in his throat, his pediatrician suggested he get a feeding evaluation done. A SLP with extra training in feeding issues (swallowing, chewing, moving the tongue) does the evaluation. It turned out his mouth skills are fine, but I don’t think I overreacted by taking this seriously.

As a side note, I got married and had him in my late thirties. It’s looking like we won’t be able to have another child. And I think that pain, in combination with “trying to keep a toddler alive” is making me more sensitive.

On the other hand, my parents have a history of invalidating and minimizing my feelings and experiences. This interaction just felt different because they were minimizing what happened to my child.[/quote]

You sound like a drama queen, so it is no wonder they have a history of invalidating and minimizing your feelings and experiences. No doubt they are fed up. Plus, apart from choking part, needy baby greedy baby, you and your kid together! He is choking because he is greedy with food. Again, APART FROM CHOKING the whole thing is funny. Feed training because he stuffs too much. take charge and feed the kid yourself, do not let him stuff his mouth until he is older. You are overreacting to everything, no doubt. Do you know who says something like invalidating my feelings? Insane people, you are insane.[/quote]

Whoa!  The toddler is 2 years old.  What's your excuse pp?[/quote]
But OP is over 40. What is her excuse? Too much Oprah? Oprah is not real life. Invalidating my feelings, my something. Her parents are well over 60, most likely 70, no doubt they had enough of OP's drama and can't tell anymore what is made up and what is real. Don't pretend you don't know these kind of women, we all know them. Anything with them and their kids is blown out of proportion. Where was the EMT, the Fire Department in this situation? Serious choking episode would have involved them. No mention. I feel for her poor parents.[/quote]
