BG: Okay, so my mother told everyone (especially Rugz and I) that our girls were severely developmentally-delayed and had ASD, and that it was my fault, because we don't follow her parenting method or instructions. /BG
With it now in context, I would really like to have a little brag and won't do it on FB because I don't want to start a mummy-war: Jazzy is testing as above average and is well ahead of her class. She's in preschool and her teacher is going to see if she's ready to change up to the 'real' reading books for homework. It's such a relief to hear that she's a wonderful, bright kid to have in class, so friendly and patient, from her teacher even though we're only 2 weeks into the school year. I was worried that we were biased. I know I shouldn't have paid attention to my mother, but it's one of those "What if she's right, what if I really have fucked up badly and have ruined my kids lives with my parenting style?"
I'm just so happy that she's doing really well and is enjoying school so much. Sorry for mummyjacking, I needed to share with people that understand how awesome it is to prove an abusive parent wrong.
