Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 040b: Margaret Webb on What To Do When Grandparents or Extended Family Don't Understand our Child · 19 Dec 2025 podcast

And if, you know, I've tried all these other things and they don't work.

And so I'm going back to what do I know works for me and what do I know works for my child and what works best for us together in order to get through all of these situations.

And when you do that, it takes the power away from the words, the thoughts, the judgment, everything.

you know, that might be directed at you.

And again, going back to that place of realizing it's most likely coming from a place of fear or of not understanding.

Absolutely.

And one of the things that I noticed throughout the years is to be mindful of the amount of time and energy that I'm giving to these other people.

Because if you're anything like me, we use a lot of time and mental energy with our kids.

And to have somebody else come in and

and make a comment about... For us, when we go out for dinner, we have made the decision that most of the time when we go out for dinner, it's so that my husband and I can chat and talk.

And it's kind of like our adapted version of date night and our son happens to come along with us.

And so if he's on his electronics, we're totally fine with that because it allows us to talk.

And

You know, we get looks all of the time from people who just like look over and are like, you know, and kind of try to catch our eyes.

And we're so clear on why we're there and what we're doing that it doesn't matter.

But if I give my time and energy to worrying about what those other people think of me as a parent or of my child or of how we operate our family.

It's such a waste.

And like, they don't know that that's an important part of my husband and I being a team to help him.

So it's like, there's all sorts of stuff.

And so it helps me to think, wait, am I giving this person or their comment or their judgment a lot of time and energy that could be better spent just taking care of myself, taking care of my child?
