I’m sorry you have been trying to buy your daughter that bike and you have to watch these nimwits blow money on one for their daughter who may not even ride it.
No worries.. I just makes me sick...
My husband and myself have talked about that being her graduation present next year. She didn’t get her license (anxiety, slow responses, etc.) and we hope this will allow her some independence in going to the grocery store, without having to rely on other people for transportation (we don’t live far from 1 grocery store)...
It just makes me
because I know what it is like to want one and even our PT urged us to get one because our PT office had one and she loved getting on it. Our insurance companies (private and public), will not pay for it, so we have struggled for years to try and get to a place where we could justify the cost...
Also, I know the coordination it takes to learn how to ride one of these. I have seen it. My daughter is on the spectrum as a full Level 1, not high functioning. She struggles greatly with bi-lateral coordination, impulse controls, and anxiety. She is the sweetest girl though and doesn’t ask for much, which helps a very broke Momma out but gosh, I really struggled last year, when she turned 16 years old and all she wanted was an American Girl doll (using her allowance money and Grandma’s birthday money to purchase it) and a slice of chocolate cake at the Cheesecake Factory (and not to eat there, just take it to go, and asked if we could pay for the slice)... She also wanted me to take her and just us spend time together without the others... I cried...
A&P are so out of touch with reality of what it is really like to have a special needs child and struggle.. I don’t get it either. They use to understand and know what it is like... The leghumpers mostly live broke too... Now, it seems A&P are too good for everyone else..
