[QUOTE="SRL, post: 340364, member: 701"] When it comes to family members, often the best is not to hand out so much information. As much as we would like them to understand, the reality is that most of them won't. They don't need to know about every appointment, every medication change, every tantrum, etc. Usually time and witnessing the kids will do more than any verbal convincing you can do. Next time dad or anyone else makes a comment like that I'd make a brief matter-of-fact comment and change the subject. I know it's hard because you really want the people in your life and your child's life to truly grasp what's going on but I promise you that you will need the skill of detaching from other's opinions over and over again. If your doctor is frequently late, I'd call the office before leaving home to ask if they're running behind. [/QUOTE]
