my dh was e mailing a 'so called frind' of ours about meeting up at the weekend, I work so wont be there.
she has a dd who is 4 months younger than ds (who has cp) and has just turned 1.
the last time dh took ds to see them, ds (who is very sensitive to new/unfamiliar people) just cried and cried. so after about 5 mins dh went home.
her last e mail to dh read ... and don't cry it off and go home early this weekend. and .........dd is propper running all over the place lol!
ok i might just be over sensitive but she has always been a 'smug' person, oh look what dd can do now .... dd was sitting at 4 months blah blah blah.
it just deminishes the great progress and positive feedback which we got from the physio on monday.
sometimes I just feel like I'm in a SN bubble a lot of my newer freinds have ds with cp. they just seem to understand, where as her and her dp just don't 'get it'.
Please give me a virtual slap if you think i need it

You most definately do not need a virtual slap.
I completely see where you are coming from and it is your friend who is being insensitive.
I find most of my friends now have children with sn, they get it, they understand the masssive achievements our children make which can seem trivial to others.
Tbh I don't see some friends much at all now as listening to what wonderful dc they have just makes me want to weep.

Thank you I was beginning to think I was being a bit precious!
DH and I have already stopped speaking to them once (long story) but the result was he refused to come to our wedding. considering that DH has known him for more than 30 years and would bend over backwards over a sharp spike for him, we thought his and then girlfriend's behaviour was unacceptable.
I personally am washing my hands with them. weather dh wants to is up to him.
think your right though starlight I do need to grow a thicker skin, (I'm better than I used to be) but still room for improvement
