Something that infuriates me? Bragging about a kid because he’s walking. Or talking. Anything developmental. It’s something that I never would have even thought about before having Luke, but now when I see people posting on Facebook about how smart their kid is because they’re walking at 10 months…it literally drives me mad. It’s ignorance, I understand that, but it still makes me so mad. Today it was one of my best friends. We don’t see each other often, literally every couple years, so she has no idea about Luke’s struggles, and she doesn’t understand that bragging about her kid brushing his teeth has nothing to do with how smart he is.
Being a mom of a kid that started talking at 3.5 gives me the right to be mad, right? I don’t care if it does, I’m mad anyways. I really should just remember that my friend, along with all other parents of typical kids, are just bragging because they love their kid. And they’re proud. But today I am too crabby to give anyone the benefit of the doubt.
