I've got a couple of busy weeks with lots of appointment for my 5 yr old ds with Ld, it's day 1 and my head is already like mush and I'm feeling down. I'm really glad he gets the help that he gets so I'm being a bit of an hypocrite but the constant analysis and the insinuation (direct or indirect/conscious or unconscious) that it's something to do with your parenting is very annoying. Salt went well he is coming on but all the praise and recognition is directed completely at the teaching assistant (maybe I sound a bit of a brat) Just came off the phone from school nurse who I'd rung because we are struggling with nappies not having capacity for his nighttime wee and without having met me or my son she says 'there is no reason why he can't be toilet trained' and kept going on about how you can't get nappies given to you unless your child has a specific medical condition. Just made me think that she'd assumed I hadn't tried or was out for a freebie. Now she might have in fact just been being positive and telling me that don't worry he will be toilet trained. Lovely, lovely camhs lady going to see him at school tomorrow, but again I've told her that they don't have too many issues at school other than his poor attention span...so I start doubting myself...asking myself whether I am making a fuss. Also, living with ds I think I'm sometimes a little blinkered to his delays, and he is doing so well feel horrible when I have to talk about the things he cannot do. I know that there is no real answer to this, just in need of a whinge. If you've made it this far, thanks x
