I write for and am the managing editor of Houston Moms Blog. Since I wrote this post just this week, I’m counting it for #NaBloPoMo.
This post is on things not to say to moms with children with special needs. It’s insane what people think are helpful phrases or advice.

A New Version of Me 
“God doesn’t give you more than you can handle.” – Total pet peeve of mine. Just plain not true.
“I could never handle this. No way could I do what you do.” – This one drive me bananas. YES you could and you would if it was your kid, because it’s your kid! I am not a supermom, just a mom doing what I need to do to help my kid thrive, just as you would.
“You’re lucky your kid doesn’t talk. Mine won’t shut up!” – This exact phrase hasn’t be said to me, but a version of it, many times. I mean, I get it, as I have a 3.5 yr old typical child who never. stops. talking. BUT still, I would give anything to hear Clara’s voice.
