@andibartz Mama of 5. I have many childfree friends who live beautiful lives. Also, they have so much more time to fight for justice and make the world better for my kids than I do since I’m exhausted all the time

Being a disabled parent with a disabled child means explaining how life will be more difficult for them because pain & fatigue are chronic experiences for us and they aren’t for other people. People just expect you to manage it without inconveniencing them
