@star_bussy @fiercepatricks Yes

Hey, so rape is actually always 100% the rapists fault. There is no level of shared responsibility. This is true. Always. Thank you for coming to my talk.

@nigelreynolds @cjsnowdon I am of the opinion that people who deny the existence of disabilities are just a result of bad parenting and bigotry.

[Lucy Navi @Mamoa83]

@nigelreynolds @cjsnowdon Grow up. Have you done any research or read any scientific paper before coming up with this?

[Lucy Navi @Mamoa83]

@AGriffe8 @cjsnowdon @CroneThe86880 I dont think most people do. The only way she would be granted this is if there is either more than is presented here going on with him or she has lied about his needs.

[Lucy Navi @Mamoa83]

@cjsnowdon Im sorry but he doesnt get that much money unless he has some very significant disadvantages. AdHD alone doesnt entitle you to anything automatically and that amount would count as higher needs

My sister fell from the 4th floor when I was 16 years old and fought for her life for two whole years.

When you fall from such a height, it's most often not the impact that kills you.
It's the fall.

Most people falling from such a height, faint before impact — and they fall on their back.

Their spine breaks, ruptures, and is torn to shreds and most of them die or are paralyzed their entire lives.
But, my sister , was awake through the fall.

She fell on her legs.

Later doctors told us that, that was the only reason she'd survived.

On impact, her right leg, which bore the maximum impact, was torn to bloody shreds.

Her right foot had an entire piece fall off from where it was attached.

When I saw her — the white sheet that covers patients was red with blood.
I saw bone where flesh was supposed to be.

When I saw the X ray for the first time, I couldn't help but hopelessly cry.

Part of her hip bone was just bone dust.
Literally! Literally bone dust where bone should be.

This further complicated her surgery when she was admitted to the ICU.
Bone fragments could have ruptured her blood vessels — or so the doctors said.

Forget walking ever, doctors told us she had a ten percent chance of survival.
My Didi spent two years in the hospital and missed her board exams (12th) that year.

Next year, carried on a stretcher, she was ferried from the hospital in an ambulance and she sat for her 12th boards.

That year — she scored 92 in her boards with a 94 in Physics and Maths.
Her school awarded her an Exceptional Student award and gifted her a phone and a certificate for her achievements.
Today, she has two degrees to her name.

One in Physics and another in Hotel Management.

She's preparing for a third degree — an MBA this year.

Today, she's working for a subsidiary of Google in Hyderabad, all alone in a different city.

The limp is still visible, but barely.

Inspiration?

This word doesn't even begin to explain what I feel when I look at her.

She's a living, breathing miracle.
Literally — a living, breathing miracle.

@dr_musgrave Homework completion tends to drastically increase when parents are kept in the loop. Education is a shared responsibility

If you're judging parents and carers of toddlers for losing sight of them for a split second (which is all it takes) at this time, you should probably just be quiet for a while. Thanks.

@GMFinX Kids get more expensive as they get older. Be warned

[Linus ✦ Ekenstam @LinusEkenstam]

Hi. 😊 Swedish dude here.

When our children get sick, we have 60 paid days per year to stay home with them.

Per parent.

They're separate from my 25 paid vacation days.

Meaning I don't have to use my own paid sick leave.

If I'm a single parent: 120 days.
If my child has a chronic illness: 120 days
If my child is hospitalized: unlimited days.

These days reset every January.
By law. every year until child is 18.

Follow for more glimpses into life in a social democracy, where dignity is not a privilege.

Peace ✌🏼

@StarkeyBoy_ @flaminhaystacks Im afraid that is not what the research says

[Lucy Navi @Mamoa83]

@GregoryScaduto @emilykmay I find it really interesting that in your culture men spend more time on paid work. I live in the UK and in most household both adults work. Are you US based?

Spoken like a guy who didn't watch that Bluey episode where the dad takes the kids to the pool and doesn't pack anything

[Nina Kai @theninakai]

@Cernovich There’s a Bluey episode for everything.

[Corbie @Corbienest]

@Cernovich I expect my wife to relax and not worry about this stuff, but also my wife should deal with these screaming kids who are having a melt down because they are hungry 🙃

[Lucy Navi @Mamoa83]

@bluejeansqt @ARdoppelganger It's not "family issues" it's bad parenting. Hth

@A8te_Ball @frapiicchino @LiveAction Ok thanks just confirming what I thought.
