because that's what someone told me this morning. "oh, I know you have one, but it must have been so hard for you to manage". I just replied "no? I didn't find it hard at all" which is true actually and she seemed genuinely surprised but then went on to say "oh but he was a very co-operative child wasn't he, so you were very lucky" wtf?
And I know her attitude is born out of ignorance, but fgs I have a perfectly well-developed child, I am well-known round here, never had the need for any kind of help because I am totally independent, and yet people like that still have these types of attitudes.

to feel really pissed off and patronised by someone telling me how hard it must have been for me to bring up a child?
