I am not sure how to deal with this issue either. Every time I get together with other moms the topic turns to DD. I try to come up with appropriate responses but I inevitable botch it up. It seems no matter what I say it is awkward.
I would love to be able to speak openly about my children's lives and interests with other moms. When I was a new mom with my first baby I was excited and enamored just like every new mom and wanted to share every detail of this new life. It was a rude awakening to realize that I could not just share my excitement of my precious little babies new skills with other moms.
Now with baby #3, I just don't say anything. But I am still excited when she dose something new and I think that is part of being a mom and loving your kids. Any parent wants to celebrate their child regardless of where on the spectrum they fall.
