@oliviacola Lmao yeah Everything I said was true. Left your kid at home with your parents and went to school and lived your life. You’re parents probably still do all the heavy lifting taking care of you and your child
@oliviacola So you were 15 and irresponsible got pregnant and decided to have a baby with a birth defect when you weren’t even in a position to help so you probably put all that stress on your parents. Lmao yall are fucking selfish fucking people. You think you’re special. You’re evil
GOLDMEDALIST SENT HER DEBT NOTICE.
1.She leaked messages using her cousin's phone.
2. She uploaded picture on IG.
3. She wanted to make statement about it.
4. She sent the notice by lawyer to the Goldmedalist that she had no intention of paying back. #Kimsaeron's DUI debt was interest free.
@raisingpatriots@CollinRugg He’s your uncle, not your son.
I can imagine someone who has no responsibilities here - and who gets to simply come and go as they please when things are fun - feeling this way.
But you’re not speaking from the perspective of a caregiver or someone with any responsibility here.
The romanticization of downies is very weird to me.
“Oh they’re so happy!” Yeah because they have an IQ of 34.
People see little clips of the higher-functioning minority being cute online and then feel entitled to massively underestimate the amount of mental, social, financial, and medical resources it takes to raise them.
This isn’t helped by the fact that the parents of profoundly disabled kids often try and offset the (very valid) guilt, disappointment, and burnout they feel by frantically pretending like their lives are great because farming praise for being “good people” and righteously dunking on parents who don’t want that for themselves are the only coping mechanisms they have.
A profoundly disabled child is not a houseplant or kitten, and it isn’t a responsibility that ever ends. The vast majority of downies are not capable of obtaining even a mild degree of independence.
You will be taking care of them until the day you die (and spend the last moments of your life worrying about who will take care of them when you’re gone).
Imagine being 80 years old and still having to heat up nuggets for your 45 year old child, remind them to wash, tell them when to go to bed, etc…
Imagine not being able to do literally anything without having to consider whether or not your downie labubu can join.
Imagine never having grandchildren, or never being able to see your child go to college or get married. Fundamental experiences many look forward to, gone.
It’s not like the cute little clips in the vast majority of cases.
And this is all especially true if you have a male downie because once they hit puberty and adulthood, you now have all of the urges of a horny man trapped in the mind and body of someone with a no impulse control and superhuman retard strength.
It’s all fun and games until your 300 pound adult son who has the intellectual capacity of a turnip whips his junk out in a Walmart and starts rubbing it on the My Little Pony display (I witnessed this once, absolutely horrifying scenes).
All I’m saying is… If you want to be a downie parent - awesome. I wish you the best. I am sure there are plenty of profoundly disabled kids waiting to be adopted and you can put your money where your mouth is anytime.
But I do not blame anyone who does not want that life for themselves and, crucially, recognizes they would not be good parents in that situation.
At the very least, I respect the fact that they’re being honest, which seems to be something most people can’t do when it comes to the disabled.
Unpopular opinion:
If I knew my unborn child would have a severe disability that would require lifelong intensive care, I would seriously consider termination.
Not because I don't value disabled people. Not because I lack compassion but because love alone doesn't provide specialized healthcare, financial resources, emotional resilience, or round-the-clock caregiving.
Raising a child with profound disabilities can demand sacrifices that affect parents, siblings, and the child themselves.
People should be allowed to have honest conversations about whether they are truly prepared for that responsibility without being shamed for it.
Suddenly everybody on Twitter loves people with Down Syndrome so much and that couple who aborted their DS baby are devils.
All of you condemning them:
How many DS children have you raised?
How many DS adults are you friends with / hang out with?
How many DS people do you date?
We all know the answer to these questions.
99% of the people sitting on their moral high horse neither care for people with Down Syndrome nor do they include them in their lives in any way.
They have never gone to any orphanage to consider adopting a child with DS.
They would never consider seriously being friends with or spending time with a person with DS.
Some of them are even repulsed by people with DS but want to pretend they are saints when it’s time to condemn that couple.
Why would any loving mother choose that fate for her child?
Do you think mothers of children with DS are happy seeing their children being excluded and rejected, and never being able to live a full independent life?
Let alone the fact that whenever a family with a disabled child breaks up, 9 times out of 10 the father abandons the mother with the disabled child and the woman becomes a lifelong hostage unable to live life because she has been enslaved to the endless care of her disabled child.
On top of that she spends her entire life worrying who will care for her child after she dies and because of this worry some old women have even killed their disabled child and killed tnemselves out of despair and worry of what will happen to their child.
So what was the point?
After listening to wicked people at the time of pregnancy and not aborting, spending a lifetime caring for the child without respite, only to end up still killing the child because SURPRISE SURPRISE, none of those people who shamed you to not abort were willing to volunteer to help care for your disabled child to give you a break while you were young, or now that you’re too old and frail to continue.
These people just want to see women as slaves in every unpleasant situation in the world, and as a woman you are the only say and the FINAL say on whether you give birth to a child or not, because when the suffering begins NONE OF THESE PEOPLE WILL EVER SUFFER WITH YOU.
@seanmdav It is easy to tell other people what they should do when you are not the one raising THE CHILD, paying THE BILLS or having to make the next 20+ years worth of decisions. 🫢🫢
@LilaGraceRose It is easy to tell other people what they should do when you are not the one raising THE CHILD, paying THE BILLS or having to make the next 20+ years worth of decisions. 🫢🥱🥱
@Skeuleos Good for you.
But sorry, your kid has Down syndrome, he’s not the absolute best.
Great you love him, but judging others for not wanting their kids to be burdens on society and themselves is pretty shitty.
@HazelAppleyard@MattWalshBlog Fyi It is easy to tell other people what they should do when you are not the one raising THE CHILD, paying THE BILLS or having to make the next 20+ years worth of decisions 🥱
@MattWalshBlog Shut your mouth. It is easy to tell other people what they should do when you are not the one raising THE CHILD, paying THE BILLS or having to make the next 20+ years worth of decisions 🥱
