[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, while I did think your original post came off as a little self-congratulatory, I don't think you deserve the complete and total ASS-REAMING you've received at the hands of this forum.  Ladies, please!  All I can think is that many moms on here (myself included) have been in a position where their kid has been the less developed one, and it is a terrible feeling.  [b]And to have you list not one but three or four ways your DD was clearly more advanced than this other child just seemed a little unnecessary...you could have made your point with just one example.[/b]  Your post just kind of smacks of someone who wanted to brag and disguised it in a "concern" posting.  You should feel great at how well your DD is doing, but please realize there are many on here whose children are not doing as well, and it can be difficult to find sympathy in that case.

Another pp had a good point-the mom of the other child was probably (justifiably) freaked out that her DD is behind yours, and yours has delays.  I know if I were in that position, I would be feeling very uneasy.  You also said something that made me think perhaps you are SAH while this other mom is WOH, and that's whole other kettle...I'm sure she's thinking, well, if I had ALL DAY to work with my DD, she would be just as advanced (note: I'm not saying she is right in thinking this, but I would bet, based on your description, that she is indeed thinking it).

I'm glad you realized your behavior needs a little work, but there are posters on this thread whose behavior is far, far worse.  [/quote]

This.  Actually the entire thing, but especially this.[/quote]
