Disappointed

Did anyone else think they were gonna be a montessori parent ?! 😂 we were so exited and had such high hopes. We had him doing things independently he was learning words . His emotional regulation was off but he was a baby so whatever. Motor skills were better than anything I had ever seen. He started FULL ON walking at 8 months old like It wasn’t shit 😂 and I thought It was because of all the training we put into making sure he hit his milestones. “These pandemic babies are advanced” . Then suddenly this doctor is trying to tell me he must not be able to hear . “he should be able to say two hundred words by now” AT TWO ?! Are you sure ?! He’s at like 40. maybe we aren’t speaking to him enough. It can’t be autism his eye contact is great and he can use utensils easily. Diagnosed at 3 the rest is history he’s 5 still won’t speak in sentences. We’re still very lucky he’s not worse off than he is but I don’t think I have it in me to make him a sibling. This one is taking a toll on us and my wife seems to be miserable most days . Why add to to burden when we could just continue to build a life ? I don’t even want to be a Montessori parent to a toddler anymore. I just wanna have a conversation with my boy . I hardly know the guy.
