"Well you're actually lucky - you missed the hard parts of having to be up all night with a crying baby.  All you had to do was pump and go back to sleep" (said when baby was in the NICU for a month after birth).

OMG my SIL said the SAME thing to me!! My jaw dropped when I heard that. [/quote]

I'm the one who posted this. That comment was my first introduction to the fact that not only was my world changing with the birth of my SN child but that I would have friendships that would not survive this occurrence. Of course I would also find a whole group of amazing new friends through the SN world, but I didn't know that yet. [/quote]

I am the PP you quoted and I agree 100%! The comment was the beginning of being on a path that was unlike that of so many other parents I tried to relate to. Once we found out path we learned to turn on the "NT (Neurotypical) Filter" when talking to parents of NT kids (how could they know what it feels like to be us?) I genuinely enjoy blunt conversations with friends who have children like mine, it makes me feel like we're so normal! ;)[/quote]
