[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just stop, PP.  I am not competing.  I am relaying what I am hearing all around me, and it’s unnerving.  I don’t want or need a Mark or Misty: the parents around me have literally said this (about different kids, in different instances), and have asked what my kids “thing” is, and I’ve tried to laugh it off with “being three.”  And now, since I’ll perhaps get a snide response about that, even, it’s often impossible to convey all of this in phone-creates quick posts, especially when some come to attack.   “The wolves will get you;” what kind of crap heap posts that? But  I do think I’ve learned not to engage so much here, and appreciate the well-intended responses.[/quote]

I have lived in DC for years and raised three kids and have an advanced degree from a very good school as does my husband and we make a lot of money, and I have never, ever heard of parents asking what thieir kids "thing" is at 3 or being this obnoxious. I think you are either in some very weird place or you are creating or exaggerating this narrative because you are overly sensitive because your child had delays or whatever, but the point that has been made over and over is don't engage, don't perpetuate it, and just brush it off and move on to other topics.

Also, OP, your tone throughout this thread has been somewhat hysterical and juvenile - "crap heap", really? - and just emotionally overwrought. As others have suggested, you may need to seek some help. [/quote]
