[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 229086, member: 2459"] That's always a fun one. I've had people who didn't know difficult child is medicated talk about how awful it is that parents put their kids on these medications and turn them into zombies. I've been known to look at them, point difficult child out (who was in all probability zipping around the room at full tilt) and ask them how zombified he looks. I pretty much let it roll off when people say things like that. Or I'll just laugh and tell them they need to be careful what they wish for. A friend of ours offered to be my babysitter when difficult child was 10. We weren't close friends but we socialized. Anyhoo....I told her about difficult child, what he does, how he acts, etc. She assured me it wouldn't be a problem. So....spring break rolled around and we gave it a test drive. At the time, they lived a block from where I worked. Two days into it, I was in my boss's office and looked up. There in the window were my friend (red faced, in tears and shaking from anger and frustration) and her husband (calm and holding a sobbing difficult child.....I really like that guy to this day). The chance never came because we didn't really associate after that but I'm guessing that given the opportunity....she would have listened to me a bit better after that. I wish I had a snappy comeback for you to use but you've gotten some good ones. The only thing I can say is just picture the results and have a nice chuckle to yourself. [/QUOTE]
