[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 136165"] Star, I understand. When you just said ""I avoid consistent situations in which I am (through no fault of my own) made to feel like "odd Mom out" YIKES...this reminds me TOTALLY of my book club situation. Month after month I got to hear of how wonderful each and every child was doing. At the beginning, they asked about my kids and then they stopped. This was no better. No once ever even had a kid who forgot to take out the trash or forgot to do their homework. I was coming home depressed and EVERYONE (folks here as well) was telling me to stop going. So, now I only go to a few meetings a year...when the book is of great interest to me. Shari... Self preservation is a GOOD THING!!!! I need to learn how to do more of this. I think finding some moms who have pcs who truly understand is actually difficult...few and far between. I guess I"m hoping not to miss out on the so-called normal/regular aspects of life and so I'm "trying" to keep my eyes open in case I meet some of these people. LOL! :knockedout::surprised1::funny: Totoro... When I subbed in "gifted" classes I met PLENTY of so called easy child's that were little "you know whats," that were potential difficult children with ATTITUDE. Scarey, if you ask me. [/QUOTE]
