Feel like crap.....
I think my mil is pissed off at me. Few weeks ago she called me to voice her concerns about her son that is 4. H and I watch him a lot and take him a lot of places with our ten yr old daughter. Anyway she voiced her concerns about various issues and asked my opinion. I gave it her. I don't think she liked it. She has not returned my calls or texts and I usually pick him up from school on Wednesday and this morning got a brief text " I will get him today"I said nothing upsetting in fact I even stated that I'm not a Dr and although I teach special Ed and had a brother with autism that I'm no pro. I just encouraged her to get him tested (like she already planned) just for piece of mind. If everything is fine with him and it's a phase she will have piece of mind. If something is not right at least they can get him what he needs Im really hurt. I know it's not about me. But I feel like crap. ;(. Just needed a place to vent
Re: Feel like crap.....
Ugh, that sucks. I'm guessing from what you wrote that you think he might have a developmental delay? It can be really hard for a parent to hear that, and she might just need a while to process it.
I really hope she gets him tested and can get him the help he needs (if he does have a problem). I would just give her some time and space.

Honestly I don't even know what to think and I told her that. He does demonstrate some odd behaviors such as playing alone , running and making a humming noise constantly, extreme sensitivity to loud noises, smells, touches etc. , ignoring people when they speak to him. Itt seems to have gotten worse in the past few months and his social skills are getting weaker instead of progressing. All could be normal or a sign of something else. I'm not a dr, but if it was my kid I'd want to know either way. I just feel like an ass now. I wish she d just return my calls and tell me either way. I can take it. Just hate not knowing
I don't think that there are many things more frustrating than having someone ask your opinion (especially when you have experience with the subject matter) and then getting upset with you over your answer. I mean, if they don't want to know, they shouldn't ask.
I'm sorry that your MIL is being like this. Would asking your FIL if you said something to offend her help, or would that just make things worse?
