Do you get a lot of it? Do you follow any of it?


I sure do. I file it in the circular file. Mostly it involves spending a lot of money on stuff for the kids that we can no where near afford.

Every now and again but not very often. Family & friends learned early on that we do what we feel is best regardless of what they think is best.

Re: Unsolistied advice

When you have a special needs child or a new baby, you often get a lot of it.

Sometimes I take it, and sometimes I don't. It depends on who it comes from and whether or not I trust them.

I figured that was it. The number of therapies my kids supposedly need has increased with the price of gas. Now gas has reached over $4 a gallon, the therapists would like it if they were in therapy all day all week. We simply can't afford that. Before gas was so expensive, they required a lot less therapy. One therapist swears Cara is crossed eyed in one eye, but everytime she sees Cara the crossed eye changes eyes.

Yup... I just let it go in one ear and out the other. My MIL is of home remedies and "perfect" advice..... and she's ALWAYS right.

Not really. I think it stems from my husband's and my strong religious beliefs. They know what we believe (and this carries over into all aspects of out lives) and how we believe our children should be raised and have learned that we will not waiver. My parents have similar beliefs and do share advice which we value. Thinking about it, Mike's parents back away from the big stuff for the reasons I mentioned before but are always willing to help us with household (fixing thing type stuff) questions. But we solicit them more than they offer advice to us.

Both sides of the family rarely offer advice. My mom knows (and Rick's family had learned) that I don't take advice well. But I don't hesitate to ask if I think I need help figuring something out.

I totally agree with you on this one. You just gotta LOVE the "theories" people come up with on WHY your child has special needs. Ummmmmmm-Kay.... I'll start listening to that after you publish your RESEARCH!

Or, even BETTER yet.... the people that say, there's nothing wrong with him, it's BEHAVIORAL. (No, it's actualy NEUROLOGICAL, unlike your lack of intelligence....) Again, I will listen to your theories when you publish them in medical journals.....

Maybe I just attract dorks like that.....
