I went to the pub last night with my group of local mums. I drunk maybe one too many glasses of wine and started talking about the reality of schooling and general life with a child with additional needs.
Had lots of comments of ' you must make sure you enjoy her', when I was talking about the daily battles I have to make sure I get her help. Also people wanting me to assure them that she will catch up and be fine.
Anyway I think I managed to shock people with the reality of the 'help' kids get, that fighting for help for your child does not equate to not enjoying them or not being proud of them ( people really don't feel comfortable hearing anything other than my darling is doing well fob they).
Rather regretting my drunk talk now of course and now I have to get up and go to work'
Balls.
