[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 405815, member: 9175"] You are right to not address the issue of her not being a parent. We waited 13 years for our daughter (adoption) and, while I never told someone how to parent, I did hear that dreaded "you just wait " line when facing certain social situations. Salt in the wound. The thing is, even if she had 10 kids .. if they were PCs she still wouldn't have a clue. We do what we must with our difficult children and that's it. I would either not respond at all, or I would say "I know it's hard to understand, C. Believe me, if I weren't living it, I probably wouldn't understand either. We just did what we felt was best for difficult child and for everyone at the party. Trust me, had we forced him, it would not have been pleasant for anyone. We love your parties and sure hope the Steelers make it next year!". She doesn't mean to be cruel. She is just clueless. My difficult child was a easy child until about eight grade and her slide into the world of difficult children was a slow one. Until I was living it, I was clueless too. Hugs, Dash [/QUOTE]
