I have just been promised (fingers crossed) some equipment for disabled kids and changing facilities (which I didnt even ask for!!) in a soon to be 'regenerated' park in Bolton. I have set up a meeting in my ds1's school, (which I know only 2 or3 parents of disabled kids will turn up at, despite complaining that our kids have nowhere to play, ) with a rep from the council who wants us to see the plans before they are submitted. I just told a long-term foster-parent of a child with Autism and all she could say was "its all well and good, but if the parking is not accessible its no good is it?" Whilst I accept that parking has to be accessible (which it IS) why cant she just be pleased that we are getting SOMETHING suitable for the majority of kids with disabilities and that we are being asked to be involved in the consulting process. Sorry to rant but I am really brassed of with people who are regard themselves as Parent-advocates for our kids, complain all day about what we dont get/have, do nothing about the things they are moaning about and then they still moan when somebody else does it for them! Am I wrong to expect parents to be pleased that finally our kids are getting something to play on, on a local authority park that we dont have to pay for?
