with all this talk about 99's etc--a little perspective: my daughter was adopted when she was 9 months old. She had rickets and was very malnourished. at 1 year she weighed 12 pounds. She did not walk until 22 months, and she was in every kind of EI possible--OT, PT, ST. In those early years she was so delayed--we were not sure that she would ever catch up. All I wanted was for her to be happy-- every day was such a struggle for her. Now she is doing great. She is solidly in the middle in all her classes (4th grade), has lots of friends. I take nothing for granted anymore! The most important thing is a happy healthy child. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Thank you for sharing but, but don't give these NY freak moms any credit for changing their narcissistic attitudes about themselves, their kids, and their schools. [ Reply | More

We are caught up in our own world and our own lives. It is nice to take a perspective break and to say a little prayer of thanks that ours are healthy and happy, but it only lasts a moment before we magnify our petty problems into "life-shattering" issues again. I always personally know that Ironically that I am definitely someone to rely on in a true crisis (level headed calm and dispassionate), but I go to pieces over the little frustrations in life [ Reply | More
