Throwback: Is There Such A Thing As A Difficult Parent?

Throwback Episode 237. Is There Such A Thing As A Difficult Parent? (Originally aired 12/12/23)

There are so many feelings when we enter spaces alongside our loved ones with Down syndrome and disabilities. The question, “Is there such a thing as a difficult parent?” It made us think deeply about advocacy, boundaries, and how gender, race, and cultural stereotypes can play a role in this question. What does it mean to advocate? What is your job as your child's advocate? If you make people uncomfortable does that make you difficult or does that make you an advocate? Is there a way around advocating and not being labeled a difficult parent? Friends, you don't want to miss our conversation on this hot topic!
