Dear universe,
It's not enough to have one child with multiple disabilities? Why does this unborn baby have to have the same thing? I've already given everything I have. I can't do this again.

oh honey, I'm right there. But you can do it. If I can do it, so can you. The 2nd time around it's different. You know what to expect, you go to dr's WITH knowledge instead of seeking them for it. You know what's going on with your child before anyone else and it's familiar.

Oh, Soapstone. Big hugs to you.

Dear Employer --

Get your freaking act together! I have no point person for coordinating programs, and we all look bad when things are disorganized. Just get someone to do it! We were a well-oiled machine up until about three months ago, and now that person is gone and the turnover (one guy stayed a month before realizing the job was mostly operations, not marketing) has been a huge drag and I'm completely confused here.

I'm really stressed right now trying to get my own work done, don't make me do someone else's as well because I have no idea what the processes are and this will end badly. Just let me get through today, and then the next two weeks, without any major glitches in my programs because noone is coordinating anything logistically!

Signed, frustrated and stressed

Dear People of the World,
My son will not suddenly have a growth spurt and catch up to his peers. Unless we decide to give him GH he will be small, I have zero idea of where he will be when it comes to any of his skills but I know he will be small. I don't need to hear examples of your cousin's best friend's uncle's son who was tiny as a tot and then was the captain of the basketball team. My son has a syndrome that makes him small, believe it or not that's just how it is.
Sincerely,
Mama who loves her little Stumps

Dear...everyone!
I don't need constant reassurance that my son will catch up with his skills. I am well aware of the fact that he is behind other tots his age, believe it or not I am not oblivious to this, in fact I think about it daily. Although I do get sad some days I am enjoying every milestone he hits, every moment I have with him, you attempting to make me feel better just makes me feel worse, screw off!
From,
A mom who is sick of saying "I guess we'll see!" and being argued with.

Oh I think so many of us can relate to so much of what you said--and yes, "screw off people!!!" Don't you wish we could just say that out loud to them?!! LOL
