[quote=KJP]I get irritated when people talk about him like he isn't there. Our ped. has done this several times.

Our first ped. did this too, as did the staff in the office. We switched peds- best move ever, if you have the option. Our current ped has a great relationship with each kid, and treats them as the primary person in the visit- something I know will help when they are teens and in the exam room without mom smile.
