Would you ever be able to cope with a disabled child?

[myles]

This includes many disabilities such as Down Syndrome, Autism and even physical disabilities. Would you be able to cope with having to be there all the time making sure they are alright and if they need any assistance? Would you be able to cope with having the child with you 24/7 for the rest of your life?

Personally, I wouldn't be able to. But the thing is, is it easy to part from a child easily even if it has a disability? The only options there would be to take would be to put the child up for adoption or abort it. I know this may seem evil to some but I would abort it. I wouldn't want my child living in greif or pain for the rest of it's life.

no way even though im gay and this probably sounds horrible would i wouldn't adopt a disabled child. it seems like to much work, people say they are angels but i think most people would not be able to cope!!!

if i was a girl i would abort it, sorry if this offends anyone but its true lol
it effects you for the rest of your life if they disabled!

i guess i could deal with an autistic child but they might be a bit annoying

the others i'd just have to leave by some bins cos i couldnt deal with it dribbling all the time it would make me feel unclean

I think if it's your own child, you'd learn to cope with them as you'd love them with all your heart.

I think it'd be a very very tough decision about aborting the child if I knew they were going to be going through misery etc. Because how do you know that? They could have down syndrome but live a very good life, but if you abort it, you're not giving the child a chance to live and explore.

It's a tough question tbh

i guess ur right cerys u could trial run ur disabled baby and give it up for adoption if it is annoying

I do agree with subo. They could be extremely annoying so thats one reason to get rid of them.

no I'd chuck it in the bin and get another one

I would think that many make themselves cope with time, I would love and look after my child regardless of whether they were disabled or not. However, it also depends what disability they have, if they cannot do anything themselves, with the addition of being able to hear or see, so they could literally be able to do nothing thus live in a bubble/shell then that's when it changes. If they're not really having a life and will not until they die is that fair on them?

i wud chuk it in bin nd leg it

[wixard]

i dunno people saying you learn to cope are talking bs
i've an aunt who has a downsyndrome kid he'll never be able to talk, or go to the bathroom on his own
he's going to need a carer for the rest of his life and that will be her

when she was drunk once she told me that she hates her life and that she resents him every single day

anyway i don't think i would be able to do it
