Good for you! I am so glad that you had the guts to call her prejudice out!

My son had a WONDERFUL in home daycare provider. was quite the challenge, and she simply took each thing as it came...probably the worse thing he ever did was disappear into her garage while she took a 2 minute potty break for herself...she didn't know where he was until she heard crashing sounds in the garage...he had her huband's free weights (10 pount increments starting at 10 pounds and going to 50 pounds!) and throwing them like discus across the garage! HE WAS 4!

Thank God she could laugh about stuff like that!

[DownSyndromeInfoEx change] A strange but common remarkI had one of my parents decide to move her child yesterday.And one of her reasons were because of "well your burden Amber "I have not ever had anyone say that to me before.And you know the really sad part. She is a teacher !!!!And the other sad thing is She teaches at the very same school I had thought about letting Amber go to next year.If she is a burden in her eyes, what will she be at school.You have , well then again you probably do have an ideaof how that made me feel.Yes, Amber is a hand full But in all the 5 1/2 yrs. of her life.As hard as some days may be I have not ever thought of her as a burden !!!!My heart just sunk to think a teacher would say such things.... It really hurt my heart. And yes I did cry. Just Sad very SadOf course I am second guessing her going to that schoolCarol P.----------------------------------------------------------Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
