You hit a sore spot with me for sure. My olde...ohh. You hit a sore spot with me for sure. My older boy is dx with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, and borderline intelligence (yep that is a diagnosis apparently).<br /><br />From age 8-10 we had a neighbor kid who would frustrate my son to major meltdowns but calling him retard, stupid, moron, etc...<br /><br />Then one day that boys mother came knocking on my door to berate me that my son called her son a crack head. She was totally enraged. This was months and months of me complaining about her son's namecalling. When I said something like 'yes, I agree words are hurtful as I've been saying about your son calling my son names'. She completely lost it telling me that her son used 'normal' 'kids always do that names' while crackhead is a racial slur (her and her family are white, as am I but my older son is black). <br /><br />To this day she and many others I meet say 'retard', 'moron' etc... are 'normal kid talk'.<br /><br />I usually fume and do not act with integrity though. Your husband is a great example to me, and your family!ywilburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076178904593335745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383774562996504979.post-17869087410461208402012-03-09T09:58:26.090-06:002012-03-09T09:58:26.090-06:00A man of integrity for sure.
