Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Yes, I have to say that the saying bugs me as well, partly because mil will insist on thrusting it at me at (usually) inopportune moments! So no offence intended. Ruth, I understand exactly what you mean. Mil will have any or all (she is slightly dotty as well!) at almost a moment's notice, but she does not understand about ' Aspergers and thinks we are too hard on him - hence reference to our child rearing differences. Trouble is, she can manage to wind him up as high as a kite and then I have the wonderful job of calming him down again. As for the dyspraxia, like you say, she thinks that Oliver is just plain naughty and consequently he gets very aggrieved because he sees being allowed to get away with almost murder (cos we're too hard, you see!), whilst he gets told off for daring to breathe sometimes. Having said all that (phew!) she has many other wonderful qualities, like having all my children so I can go shopping in peace.
