I am a little sensitive on the issue, but I am also really starting to resent the implication that whatever is up with my daughter is due to something I am doing or not doing.
Shes 18months old, has a 6 month development delay. I noticed a few things at 9 months and got a referral. So far the peads have nothing specific in terms of dx, thats probably a good thing. IN fact they were really astonished with her progress last time so I must be doing something right. But of course in the dark hours of the night I wonder what more I could be doing, whether I should be doing something differently etc etc etc
Into this comes my family with their foot in mouth disease.
Recent choice quotes: "Do you play with her?" (no dad I just leave her on her own in a corner)
"Can you get some therapy for unpicking what has gone wrong with the mother daughter bond" (my sister response to fact that DD has been clingy and upset just recently)
Plus the endless looks I get at playgroups etc when people ask me her age.
I hate that everyone seems to feel free to weigh in with their tuppence worth.
Any thoughts? Do I just need thicker skin? Should I stop going to group stuff? I already find I dress her much better than I used to (almost like I am trying to signal that I do love and care for my child)
