That makes me so sad to read. I mean my daughter doesn't have a disability, but she does have a chronic medical condition that requires regular lengthy hospital admissions. I suppose objectively I can understand their predicament (I can't work fulltime but I do have a VERY understanding employer that understands I need time off for her a lot), but I still can't agree with it. When you have kids they become the centre of your life, not something that you need to try and fit into yours. You just do what you need to for them. It's been challenging but I wouldn't change one hair on my kid's head and I can't understand parents wanting to pick and choose theirs. Very sad for them :(

i have been watching medical stories on 9jumpin lately, and what you see of other peoples disabilities and their struggles, what stands out is their incredible optimism and acceptance of their own uniqueness

i should add they have amazing families and carers

no, but the abandonment of a child with a disability because it interferes with your life is wrong, and i would have thought they would be more understanding and accepting, but no, adopted her out after 1 week. i still think about it, and i bloody hope they do too

If they are the type of person that would make that decision, then they probably should not have kids at all. Because the underlying theory seems to be that they want kids as long as it does not effect their lives too much. And most successful/quality parents make their kids the centre of their world. I think people need to be self-aware enough to know that they are not cut out to be parents. And acknowledging that does not make them bad people. Its OK to live your life for yourself and not bring children into it if that's something you and your partner agree on. But you can't make a half choice like that. The world is overpopulated as is, its OK to not want kids. But not to want an ideal and then reject them when they don't fit your ideal.

always :biggrin: to all the morally decent people in the world

this whole thing must have been the guy's worst nightmare. karma was a coming, and it's got him good

That sort of clinical attitude towards kids genuinely unnerves me. To reject a child like they were an unsatisfactory cake and then try again hoping for better lacks any emotion and is beyond selfish. That's just so messed up on so many levels, I won't get into it, I'll get too ranty.

same, it was like they were trying to hide a skeleton in the closet when it happened, it was very hush hush

things definitely stay in your mind. i also remember a friend of my dad who had young kids, she died on Xmas day from cancer, she was in her early 30's i think. every Xmas i think of her and the terrible present Santa brought to those kids. no happy stories tonight

Sick to death of Caleb and his blurfies (blurred selfies). We know you have terribly sun damaged, wrinkled skin you ball bag. You're not fooling anyone you neon toothed idiot.

ALSO- very, very bizarre being an ex @BBAU9 housemate watching @bbuk on the TV, IN the UK. First series I've seen since being evicted...

Good God, tully needs to watch herself on the show. She might learn some things about how she acts/is perceived. It's been a year already. I understand not liking to watch yourself, but she might benefit from understanding how she was presented to the public.

I find it hard to believe she didn't watch her relationship with Drew so she would understand what the public was seeing.
