[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 690243, member: 4152"] I suppose we will never know all the details. I too have thought this child could be like mine or any number of our children. I try hard never ever ever to judge other parents and I know you are not doing that...just thinking out loud about the possibility of this child being a Difficult Child. I don't think this was a school field trip...but it reminded me of something. I went on almost all field trips with my Difficult Child and the school. Honestly, I didn't think her teacher, even with a helper, could possibly sufficiently handle my Difficult Child for the entire period of time of the trip. So, I went along for most of those trips and supervised my own child. If I was sick, one time, I think I actually kept my Difficult Child home, because it was a field trip that I felt was a little dangerous....then I did my best to make it up to my Difficult Child in some other way. I was always hyper-vigilant. However, I do think this hyper vigilance may have hurt my health, career....potentially negatively influenced many aspects of my life. Having a Difficult Child is an extraordinarily difficult thing. I guess we just do our best. So happy for the support here. [/QUOTE]
