Dear Parent-at-Daycare,

Please don't look at my daughter in astonishment and blurt out how skinny she looks.  Especially since you know that she just spent a week in the hospital due to dehydration issues from illness.  It makes me cry a little on the inside, and want to throat-punch you on the outside.

 Have a little tack please.

 Thanks,
Mommy to G

Dear Old EI SLP,

I am sorry I can't remember your face. I only met you once.

I am glad you have met DS again at his daycare and I am happy you would include him in activities when you are there. He remembered you!

I am even glad you text messaged me last night. I need more people in my life that understand DS and will help me. I have had too many people give up on us already because of DS's pdd-nos.

Thank you again,

Me

Dear DS's anxiety: There really is no winning with you, is there? Tell him we are going to the doctor to see if we can find a way to help him not worry so much (he knows you are there, so look out buster!) you tell him the only solution is lots of shots. Don't tell him we are going, and you will start telling him that I lie to him and there is something wrong with him.

Begone beast! You are not welcome!

I am coming for you.

Dear Private OT,

 

I like you. I really do but calling DS a "silly dilly billy" and tickling his belly when does something off task is reinforcing that behavior.  I get it.  He's cute. However, reinforcing negative behavior is not helpful.  

Sincerely,

The mom who's not sure your personality is the best fit for DS even though he adores you
