Guest guest Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Absolutely brilliant. I am sure, her expression was priceless.I admit that I lie to inconsiderate folks that I pay myself (and then cry a little bit how expensive it is) If they are inconsiderate, I don't think I have any obligation to be honest. / Noel A mom I know who has a late twenties son with fragile X was at church one Sunday.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 It's no lie. You DO pay. Everyday of your life. We all pay.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I would have liked to have seen her face too!It took us 4 years and his entire trust fund before we ever saw services so I am thrilled to have them. I would venture to guess that most of us are still spending a ton of money in addition to what Medicaid waiver provides. Thank God for it though! Sent from my iPhone Absolutely brilliant.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 The mom you know needs to borrow my hat. I only have one, and I always CARRY it, not wear it. When a conversation must be brought to a quick end, I smile, put the cap on and do an about-face. The cap is emroidered with four simple letters.....S T F U..... sphincters deserve no better treatrment. Keep smiling. It'll make the bastards wonder what you're up to.
