I am so over people judgeing me and how I parent my child.
I come from an abusive childhood, I am the mother of a special needs child who looks more capable than she is in most aspects.
I am slowly teaching her to be as independent as possible (which is very little) but when I pick her up and carry her because she is injured people think they have the right to judge me and tell me i molycoddle her and I am teaching her to be dependent on me to participate in life.
Yes I am over protective and I will be the first to admit that and given my childhood I could be a lot more protective if I wanted to be, yes at times and in particular situations where it is not appropriate for her to have an autistic out burst I do baby her but after saying all of that I am the first to encourage her to learn and be independent and I am doing everything in my power to help her reach her full potential. I give her every opportunity available, at times more than any mainstream kid could get.
If it where not for my persistance she would be peg feed to this day instead of eating, if it where not for my persistance she would still not be able to walk, if not for my persistance she would never have been toilet trained. Many people have given up on her in her short life, many people have said she is too hard and have walked away including her birth parents, But I stick it through no matter how hard things get, no matter what hurdles I come across on our journey through life.
The way I mother may not be perfect and if someone could show me the perfect way to parent I would follow it but in the meantime people do not have the right to judge how I parent unless they know what I go through every single day and what I have been through in my life.
I am so over people who have no idea that think they have a better way of doing things, I am over people who are experienced in nothing but so called experts in everything.
I wish people would keep there opinions to them selfs unless they have walked a day in my shoes.
My vent
