[blparent] How do you start to explain people's unfounded fearsto your children?

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

The mom and the dad are together.  They have a very nice little boy who is a 
joy to be around, well-behaved and polite.  I don't know what I said to give 
the impression that they weren't together, but they are.  I'm not sure about 
all of the kids the mom works with, but I know some are pretty 
high-functioning because I've helped get braille menus in restaurants and 
other such ammenities locally for a few of them.  I assume there are 
probably quite a variety of students at different levels.  As for someone 
else making up rules for how I, or anybody, parents--uh, no.  The less 
outside rules, beyond laws against child abuse and neglect, the better.

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

What?
The dad is probably with his family because he loves his wife and child. .
In fairness to the mom, we don't know what type of kids she teaches. They
may be normal kids except for a disability which won't preclude them from
leading a normal life. Or they may be kids who poop their pants, can't talk,
basically are in school to get experiences they'd not get at home and to
give their parents a bit of a break.
As for rules for parenting, why would you want that? Odds are, such rules
would bite you in the butt.

This actually  creeps me out because people are always wanting to know how
people do things. Wren I read this post and replies I also wonder about the
boys behavior. Also it makes me wonder if this a two parent household
becausethe dads complaint is there isn't someone watching.  Also to me the
mother don't see any of her special needs Ppl becoming parents.
Unfortunately  there is no explaining  judgemental people. Everyone us
judgement in some way or another. But its funny that there is no rules to
parenting  but people thing one way is the best way or one way of doing it.
