[QUOTE="donna723, post: 308750, member: 1883"] MWM, it sounds like your daughter in law has made 'denial' a regular way of life! If her mother is that bad, she's probably been doing that for a long, long time. It probably stems from fear but you can't make something go away by pretending it doesn't exist! Surely she knows that her baby is not doing the same things that other babies his age are doing! Even if they don't mean to, it's almost impossible for a young mother not to compare her childs progress with others the same age. She's probably [I]afraid[/I] that something is not right with him so rather than face it and deal with it, she denies it. And by refusing to believe that there could be a problem and not getting help for him at an early age, she's doing her child a huge disservice. Hiding her head in the sand is not a very adult way of handling problems but she's probably been doing that all her life and unfortunately you probably can't do anything about it. If she continues to deny that he has problems, she will have a very rude awakeing when he starts school and she's forced to face it! [/QUOTE]
