I do love to hear a story about how strangers demonstrate good 'ol fashioned benevolence when someone -- particularly a struggling mom -- needs it.<br /><br />And as for your theory on development, I totally agree: The problem, however, is that so many do NOT and are thus quick to throw out conjecture about a child's development, when, in fact, they are nary qualified to do so. Grrrrr.<br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping by -- and weighing in! :-)Courtney Conoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013736069363113895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594789353434997801.post-4579604934437860112014-03-29T19:44:58.250-04:002014-03-29T19:44:58.250-04:00These are some good ones.

Although I'll have to throw out some positivity, I was pregnant with one, trying to wrangle the toddler who didn't want to sit in the cart and trying to push the cart back to the car. Someone helped me by pushing the cart while I held my toddler. Something so simple was SOOOO helpful! I tend to be on the other end of the spectrum for child's development. Until otherwise proven (meaning by a doctor), I think most of the development is normal. My daughter barely said two words until she turned two and now I keep her quiet! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing with Turn it Up Tuesday!April Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068417907539889004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594789353434997801.post-82788401486102887942014-03-25T06:04:32.041-04:002014-03-25T06:04:32.041-04:00Hi, BoyEatsWorld!!!

Our son was diagnosed with a language delay at 18 months. He's 30 months now and has since jumped that hurdle and is no long delayed. However, he still has a few pronunciation issues. I am admittedly sensitive to anyone who seems to think he is off because of it. His motor skills are that of a four yo, he can count (and recognize numbers both written and numerically) and do basic addition, he knows his alphabet backward and forward and can spell many words, etc...<br /><br />However, some negative a-holes will seem to overlook all of this and zoom in on the fact that he pronounces a word differently.<br /><br />Don't EVEN get me started.<br /><br />Thank you for reading and commenting.

I will say due to my temper I have to listen to gospel music at work to remind me from who I come from so I don't show my behind because people know how to push those buttons. For me, if I have to repeat myself - I LOSE IT. I do not like children or adults for that matter who ignore me when I am speaking directly to them. Whining......UGH! STOOOOOOPPPPPPP! The long drawn out syllables is enough to make me want to jump. Begging....nuff said. Be happy with what you have - stop constantly begging for more (more toys, more play dates, more sleepovers).

She knew basic words like mommy and daddy, phrases like I love you and Thank You and could count 1-10 and mimic ABC's all before she walked. So let's see she walked at 14 months. Hmmmm, so your kid walked at 6 months but... <br />Really hated those questions.

We are kindred spirits based on your comments and we really should consider being BFFs. lol<br /><br />"Just listen to me vent and stop trying to solve it." THIS!<br /><br />"And don't tell me that my son should be potty-trained by now." DOUBLE this.<br /><br />Have you started the training yet? Because we haven't. And, frankly, I'm in no rush because I know my son isn't ready, and he turned 30 months on March 7. The good thing is that a few months is a long time in their world -- A LOT of development can happen in that time. I'm not worried that he will be crapping his pants in college...so why should other people be? Jeez. I so "get" you.<br /><br />Thank you for commenting.Courtney Conoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013736069363113895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594789353434997801.post-37173940433797967792014-03-21T13:17:50.092-04:002014-03-21T13:17:50.092-04:00Yes!

Unwarranted advice just works my nerves - just because I'm sharing that my son drives me nuts doesn't mean that I was looking for advice on how to deal with him. Just listen to me vent and stop trying to solve it. And don't tell me that my son should be potty-trained by now. He's 2 and boys usually take longer. As long as he's not in kindergarten asking his teacher to change his diaper, I think we're right on track lol!<br /><br />This is such an awesome post! You have inspired me to write my own list!
