[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op sounds like she has a lot of anxiety about her own children. Some parents - of SN or NT - tell other parents the 15 minutes lengthy speech about every single need and peculiarity of their kid…. That they like their carrot sticks cut into diced bites, they prefer the temp between 74-76 degrees, they prefer easterly views…..

This isn’t how other parents roll. I don’t give other parents long descriptives of ds. Im only leaving him with people who know him, and they can figure it out. I’m also fine with people saying no to any weird stuff ds may request at someone else’s house, and certainly okay if another parent corrects his rude behavior (if it should happen). I know ds is going to act even weirder than he normally does in a new setting. He’s not a pouter, so I’d something isn’t to his liking, he’ll get over it.

Given how anxious op is about her own kids (needing to give the 15 minute speech to all parents about them), I’m wondering if she was way more stressed about this friends preferences than she needed to be. Some parents freak out when their kids needs aren’t immediately met. I’m thinking op is this way, so when this kids needs weren’t immediately met and the kid was a bit pouty, op interpreted that as catastrophe. Because she’s used to catering to her own kids every whim.

I’ve had kids in our house (sn inlcuded) who insist on only dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets for dinner, or only eating SunChips. I’ll respond sorry we don’t have that, you can have this or not eat. Kids are always fine not eating for the three hours, even if a little pouty. I literally could not care any less.

I’m thinking op isn’t used to saying no to a kid. [/quote]

Or you aren’t doing any favors to your kuds by not advocacy for them [/quote]
