<p>^^^Yep, I’ll let PhotoMom find the thread, but the best responses usually indicate that the choice was the child’s. That reply is disarming to someone who is attacking you from a “bad parenting” perspective. Of course, if your child is in the room and wants to address the inquiry, you will most definitely win, and the other husband will have to do the steering.</p>
<p>Now in our third year, we’re long past any comments (at all) from our neighbors as ChoatieKid is a shining example of the benefits of his choice. He is viewed as an adult among kids. If anything, the contrast has made me uncomfortable in couple of social situations as CK is unaware of the obvious comparisons being made. You really don’t have to bite your tongue. If your child is loving and thriving at his BS, that’s all that matters (but you know that, I know). The truth will out eventually; you don’t have to say a word. Count on it.</p>
