If there's one thing I can't stand it's parents who don't have the courtesy to respect other parent's opinions and beliefs. I show it to others even if I vehemently disagree with something. Is it so hard to ask the same in return? I guess so.<BR/><BR/>marla - I agree, parents should do what they think is right for their kids. Every child's need <I>is</I> different. But I certainly don't like it when somebody tries to push their ideals on others. I do what's best for J based on what <I>he</I> wants and needs. And he's a very happy 11 year old boy.<BR/><BR/>And I love how you describe Maizie because she <I>is</I> beautiful and amazing. andmisha_khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08426600211128116761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013597607988772661.post-81441163178900342742008-02-29T23:10:00.000-06:002008-02-29T23:10:00.000-06:00Yes. Well said. I am all for parents doing what they think is right for their child. All of our children are very different, with different emotional, physical and medical needs. There is no one cure fits all. I know. We have tried it all and then "woke up" and decided to accept our daughter for the beautiful and amazing child that she is.Marlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03926898159751613267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013597607988772661.post-8543046866185777802008-02-29T10:43:00.000-06:002008-02-29T10:43:00.000-06:00Bravo and well said.

I see the unconditional love you have for C. And it's great to be feeling better. I hope it lasts.<BR/><BR/>Anon, I mean Maddy (lol!) - I know I'm such an awful parent! ;)<BR/><BR/>And the warts!

Well that certainly shows what kind of a parent YOU are!<BR/><BR/>I certainly want a cure for my autistic son's warts, and I will stop at nothing to find the cure for him!<BR/><BR/>That's why I take him to the wart doctor - I think you call them dermatologists out here.<BR/><BR/>Love<BR/>AnonMaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05828186178060722812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013597607988772661.post-5504954157336561022008-02-29T03:37:00.000-06:002008-02-29T03:37:00.000-06:00Im so with you on this one on all levels.<BR/>And glad to hear you are feeling better!Casdokhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03497897393162856190noreply@blogger.com
