The unfortunate thing i...This was spot on for me!! The unfortunate thing is, I always feel like if they can blame us for our kids issues, then no real help will be forthcoming. For instance, some of my kids have never had typical reactions to psychiatric meds. If something is supposed to have a sedating effect, it often doesn't or it might even keep them up all night. The Dr. decides that it either didn't really happen like that or we gave the med incorrectly because that's not the effect it "should have" had. Very frustrating. <br /><br />I used to take the comments very personally. I probably am still too sensitive about the judgement and apparent dismissal of all our efforts to help our kids. I keep reminding myself that none of these people have any investment in the outcome of our kids lives. People pass thru our lives - therapists, dr's, teachers, etc. - they are all here for the moment, and then they change jobs or move on in some other way. WE are the ones who are there day in and out. WE care about the ultimate outcome of our kids' lives and make the best decisions we can to ensure they have the best care possible.<br /><br />THANK YOU for everything you do for your kiddos!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612523674452864077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189503605402313600.post-81879555829173040082015-05-10T17:11:09.965-07:002015-05-10T17:11:09.965-07:00Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, bu...Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but like you mention here, most of the time their opinion should be kept to themselves. As far as all the contradictory advice on therapies and what we should be doing for our kids...I very often feel as if I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't! Anyway, happy Mother's Day to you!!Sylviahttp://faithfulmomof9.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189503605402313600.post-24917055333498375542015-05-08T19:37:15.396-07:002015-05-08T19:37:15.396-07:00Even when I'm asked for advice, I try to answe...Even when I'm asked for advice, I try to answer in terms of "what worked for us was...". As you say, I can't possibly know another mother's reality any more than she can know mine. I can't imagine how frustrated you must have been with the ultrasound tech!!! Sounds like someone who doesn't belong in a medical field. :( Thanks for linking with #TwinklyTuesday.Sadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780935759685443488noreply@blogger.com
