I had a similar situation happen to me today. I was specifically asked about dd, I answered. Not a short answer but definitely not long winded and then I was dismissed. confused
I feel you. Sometimes we just want to talk about our children like everyone else and be heard. I would never ask someone about their children and not try to ask a few questions about what was being said or comment positively or offer support. I guess we shouldn't need or want that because our children are bright? frown
