Are You a Parent of a Child With Special Needs?

SELF-TEST

T or F:

485 Tootsie Rolls (Midgies, not regular-sized, that would be ridiculous) is not too many for a child to safely consume in a 4-day period.

T or F:

You can buy really big Pull-Ups, and Target will cut you the best deal.

T or F:

Going out to eat with the whole family is just a really nice way to relax and and have fun.

T or F:

You are on a first name basis with your local pharmacist, and have his/her home number posted by your phone.

T or F:

Meeting a yearly $1,000 individual health insurance deductible for your child, is entirely possible in a 30-day period.

T or F:

Some videos/DVDs just get better and better after the 100th viewing.

T or F:

It is impossible to discuss your child using any fewer than three acronyms.

T or F :

Everyone you knew before you were a parent, and everyone you have met since, falls into one of two categories, those who "get it", and those who don't.

T or F:

Tags inside of clothing are highly irritating, and must be removed and then mutilated, leaving itsy bitsy pieces of tag forming a trail from the kitchen scissors to the child.

T or F:

Your children have all kinds of fun, rewarding extra-curricular activities, in which they excel in all.

T or F:

You wouldn't change places with anyone, well... maybe not anyone.

I'm a teacher of children with special needs and I can only imagine what you go through. I look forward to summer because that is my time to regroup and a time to try to regain a bit of my sanity. God Bless you! God Bless you even more for the fact that you keep your child on "drugs." As a teacher I can appreciate the difference between a medicated child and a non-medicated child. I will definitely keep reading your post!
