To be a bit annoyed at this comment by my mum.

My DS has multiple additional needs and ASD, he's 3.

I got an update on the nursery app that they're practicing for the nativity play and my son was pictured practicing but I'm not actually sure if he'll be in the play but he looked like he was having a lovely time.

I was telling my mum about this and said if DS is in the play, would she like a ticket to come and see him and her reply was "Why? He won't be any good will he"

I'm a bit annoyed because it's a nursery play, they're all 3 it's not gonna be a west end performance and her and my dad used to constantly put me down as well and it felt a bit like that.

I know it's really silly but I'm excited to see if he's in the play and go to his first performance like all the other parents whether he's good or not, I mean I'm proud and impressed he's doing well in practice.

It's just a bit shit that it might be another thing that's hard for DS and my my mums comment has hit a nerve.

What an ignorant comment.
I hope your DS enjoys being included even if he isn't part of the actual live performance(s).

Your mum is a bitch. Don’t invite her again. Go and watch your DS. Show him that he has a cheerleader in you. You’ll feel so proud of him

What a horrible thing to say.

Tell her that her cooking was no good but you ate that for years!

Ugh, what a nasty comment to make about ANY child's play! Stop including her, she's nasty.

That's not just annoying it's hurtful and, well, just bloody horrible. I hope he enjoys his first performance. You will be as proud as punch!

She doesn't deserve him...or you. I would drop the rope and stop including her.

What an arsehole comment for her to make.

What a horrible thing to say. Does she think seeing her grandchildren in a play would be oscar winning performances?

Dont invite her again
