i want to know if I ABU or not as I’m upset. I do think sometimes maybe I over react about peoples comments they just really get to me if it’s about my DD.
she has SEN, a diagnosed language disorder and awaiting assessment for autism.
my sister is really good with her normally but today we went to my nieces birthday party. My dd did soooo well I am soo proud of her, she played well with the other children wasn’t upset, very happy! And loved it.
she loves parties but doesn’t seem to cope with the cake part, not the singing she’s fine with that but she’s so upset that it’s not her to blow out the candles that it normally ends in meltdown. Screaming after the child has blew out the candles. I always stand with her near a door so I can take her out the situation if she is upset, i also realise when it’s your child’s birthday and you want them to enjoy blowing the candles and you video it’s not ideal my DD screaming and crying.
today my sister said to her partner (she didn’t realise I was behind) shall we do the cake now or not because I don’t want (my dd) kicking off.
i took my dd out and let my other child stay to sing happy birthday and we left.
would you say anything or leave it? I feel so upset by it! Thanks

Preempt next time by asking her when/if she wants you to take dd out.

it’s horrid and she could be kinder but in real life it’s just really hard when your child can’t do what others can.

It’s hard but try not to feel too hurt. It’s hard for people to judge if or when Sen children might struggle. Sounds like they didn’t know what to do.

DS struggles with birthday parties and I try to warn others in advance and say I’ll whisk him away if it becomes too much.
