Been to the HV today for my DS's 18-24 month check and she spoke to me like I was a complete and utter idiot.
His name is double barrelled and both names is what he goes by yet she refused and would only use the first one despite me asking numerous times.
My DS didn't want to sit on my lap and wanted to stand yet she point blankly refused this so made me hold him down kicking and screaming whilst she then waved a tub of 100's and 1000's in his face and wondered why he wasn't cooperating!
I was with my friend and her LO (6 weeks older) and every time he come up to the desk to look what she was doing she'd turn to him and go "No these aren't your toys go and stand over there" then gently push him away his mum couldn't even get a word in to ask him to move before she'd do this.
She asked me how many words can DS say and I said I'm not sure as I don't really count never know I should of just off the top off my head I said about 15/20 and she looked at me and said "Is that it?! He should be stringing sentences together like "mummy can you get me a drink please I'm thirsty" and saying at least 50+ word clearly" She looked disgusted she carried that look on when she showed my DS a picture of a dog, cat and ducklings face and asked him what they were and to point to them. Well he completely ignored her request and looked at her to which she then said "So he doesn't even know the basic animals then?!" I told her he did if you took him and showed him a real dog/cat/duck he'd say it and point as he does when I take him to the country park.
She then gave me a lecture about why he's not in Pre-School yet (I don't work and I am a single parent plus he's not even 2 yet so I can't get him seen round until he is) and if he was he'd be 'normal' for his age I.e the speaking and pointing at pictures.
AIBU or was she just a douche I mean I don't know any 2 year old that can string together a lengthy sentence and knows over 50+ words
