HoarfrostHubb Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 What an evening. Was up at Monadnock bringing the boy to a campout and it was just stunning. No bugs, warm air, gorgeous sunset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Having a disabled sister kind of broke my entire way of looking at kids. I see it as taking a gamble that could end with you giving up your dreams to be a 24/7 caretaker until the day you die, and then realizing your kid is in the hands of people that are paid to pretend to care about them. Just get a cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pessimistic outlook on children and life in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thousands of parents who have disabled children do not look at them as burdens but blessings. What a pessimistic outlook on children and life in general. Your average person does not have the slightest clue of what's entailed with caring for the severely disabled....not....one...clue. Parents of them rarely talk about it because expressing any frustration with the situation is seen as being uncaring, when the frustration is the result of the exact opposite. Being told some endlessly parroted form of "disability is a blessing" from the bible is about the most offensive thing you could ever say to them, but they will always smile and agree.

Is that how you calculated your normal high? Nothing wrong with him doing that, as I'm sure many here are doing the same. I've certainly quoted my averages here often enough, even though I'm only part way thru year 19 at this location. Until I reach 30 years (assuming I DO reach it), my averages will be "live", being recalculated as I enter daily observations. Folks do have some obligation to ensure readers know the source/location of any averages/norms being quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 meh ... getting what you want in any idealistic sense is not an entitlement; the idea of it is a conceit. reproducing one's self is a biological imperative .. instinctual and inborn in all organisms. it's also a conceit of humans that they do not possess, nor respond to instinctive drives. if you have a disabled off-spring, those instincts as nurturers will kick in regardless, and for those it's not a matter of 24 anything. that's just life. there are those that lack the parental response after the fact but those are anomalies - and a different discussion.
