Sorry Hayley..I missed your post about the school incident..I went back and read it. Sometimes it seems there can be different treatment given to some children than others particularly where special needs are concerned. IMHO, sometimes that's appropriate and sometimes it's not. When I was a student working in primary schools, there was a young boy (5 yrs at the time) who had ADHD although it wasn't diagnosed officially until he was a bit older. He was blamed for EVERYTHING as it was believed he was just naughty then came the diagnosis a couple of years later and everything went to the opposite extreme. My point is, what you describe sounds like tit for tat. It might be being taken too far due to the other boy's needs...a bit like positive discrimination?
It's making me think of the case in the UK just a couple of weeks ago where two 5 year old boys were talking, one white, one black. The white boy asked the black boy if he was proud to be from Africa. He told his mother he had been asked this question and his mother has turned it into a massive race issue it seems. The mother of the white boy is shocked at being told she has to sign a form at the school acknowledging her son is a racist. This makes me really sad and feel like there is no hope for us
whats the world coming too.kids are innocent........my mum looking after 2.5yr old asking my mum why a man was in a pushchair....the carer practically screamed at the child....its an observation they cant think oh i gonna be nasty........same as when little white boy looked a little black boy and said something along the lines of baby monkey..........omg the mum could have died on the spot due to inbarassement but it was completely innocent
It's probably going to be another short lived phase but exasperating at the time. Sorry that's a rubbish answer 
Addie I love the pictures of your shower..you look fantastic! Your gifts were beautiful too and the table decor etc. You USA ladies know how to do baby showers that's for sure!
The girl's room is really coming along too...looks lovely. Did the carpet come up ok?
I think that maybe people aren't necessarily assuming the twins will be born early but maybe just that because there are two, they'll naturally be a little smaller...like it would be unusual for twins to come out both weighing 8lbs. Maybe that's it?
