She has no right to say she's sorry. She raised a kid right despite her disability. That's a mother that gave her all. ❤️

[@aimer3042]

I dont think it should be phrase this way. It's her right to feel sorry or not because it is her choice. She feels sorry because she feels guilty or bad that she is in this situation and couldnt do more. The correct way of rephrasing it is that, she dont have to feel sorry or bad because she has given her all despite her disabilities. That's the power of mother's love.

[@smzig]

Yep. People think they are selfish like those parents who groom their healthy child to be a future caretaker for their disabled child. This is a completely different situation. They aren't making the child help them. They lived just fine before having a child. Their child is helping them because he chooses to. He is given love, care, and education and he's choosing to return that love of his own accord. He's going to grow up being a responsible, kind, and loving person.

[@Miss_Wonderful1]

They checked that their illness wasn't genetic so they can't be called selfish by any means. From what I see here, they're giving their son more love and care than many non-disable parents do.

[@Lolybelle009]

There's so many well bodied mothers out there that are absolute DEVILS to their kids, hurting and abusing them. Yet, you have this mother that despite a physical disability, she does her best to love and care for her son. Also, her son will definitely learn to be empathic towards people with disabilities as he sees that they are people too and not like many others who view them as unsightly or a burden.

[@Annabeth1319]

Truly said😊

[@Test-ui7rl]

​@Macy Actually evil fathers are talked about a lot more than evil mothers, way more women are criminals out there than we think. It just takes a bit of thinking to understand all that, but I guess people like you with no brain inside exist in mass quantity out there in society which is why we think the way we think rn. All in all, do not talk about something that you don't even know about, and women get away with crimes much more easily than men because people like you think that women can't be criminals which is also why this is a cursed timeline. I just hope you can go out there in the real world and learn the reality of it, and not just stay inside your own little bubble which you mistake for "reality". Because if you did, then you wouldn't have written this comment, men being criminals doesn't take away from the fact that women can be criminals too and vice versa.

And today, he is a human gem!

[@BhappyD]

@Loriann Richardson That may have been your experience, and that is totally valid, but that doesn’t mean the same is true for this little boy. This was a very short video solely about the topic of this little boy helping his mother. Of course that is going to be all the video shows and focus on, but that doesn’t in anyway mean this is a 24/7 representation of his life. When I was this little boy’s age, I always was helping my mother do daily chores like sweeping and vacuuming, helping fold laundry, etc. While my mother was not disabled, I do not see that as being any different than this. Most young children love to help out with daily tasks and chores, and that is actually something that is extremely beneficial to a child’s development. Children, especially when young, want to feel like they are contributing to the family unit, and want to feel that their role in that unit is important and desired. Many behavioral issues can actually be helped by involving children more in daily tasks and giving them little “jobs” to be responsible for around the house. Everyone wants to feel needed and that they have a purpose, and children are no different. Additionally, when I was the ages of 7 to 9 years old, I assisted my mother in caring for my terminally ill aunt. I helped do nearly all care tasks, far more than this child is doing. Sure, during that time I could have been out playing, but that experience taught me things that forever shaped me, things I wasn’t going to experience/learn by play alone. I wanted to help because I loved her and I willingly chose to do so. I couldn’t control her illness, but I could control the role I played in her life and the help and support I could offer. I felt wanted, needed and loved, and like I had a purpose. Never in a million years would I choose to have done things differently or choose to have had a more “innocent” or “normal” childhood at that time of my life. And when I myself became fully disabled at the age of 17 due to my own progressive disease, that transition was less harsh because of what I all experienced with my aunt. The fact is, we all will have times in life where we become ill or disabled in some capacity. For some it happens earlier than others, for some it’s lifelong, and for some it only happens in old age, but it is just a fact of life. Familiarizing children with this fact in a healthy way, and including them in helping loved ones in need is not a bad thing. What this little boy is experiencing in life is a blessing. He is learning what selfless love looks like, and what it looks like to care for your loved ones when they need help. He is learning compassion, grace, support, and understanding. Those aren’t just concepts taught to him verbally, they are being integrated and interwoven into his very being through deliberate actions. He is learning lifelong skills that will shape him into a wonderful, kind and loving person, willing to help anyone in need. He is in a happy and loving home, with two parents who love and care for him, who he loves enough to care for them in return in the best ways he knows how. He also has two sets of loving grandparents who also spend time with him and show him love, care and affection. The things he is doing for his mother are not things that are necessarily making her life easier in a monumental way, they are simple tasks that this little boy is eager to “help” with because he loves his mom. Getting shoes, holding a cup of water, and holding hands are not things that are going to destroy his childhood. This mother was able to live her life independently prior to having her son. From what little we did see, she is MORE than capable of finding ways to do all of these things herself, but her son, who loves and cares about her because of how much he knows she loves and cares about him, wants to “help.” Just like when I “helped” my mother vacuum at a young age, she didn’t really need the help, and it likely would have been done quicker and more efficiently without my “help,” but she allowed me to help her with things because she understood that it was teaching me lessons far beyond how to vacuum, and understood that it helped me to feel involved. Likewise, this sweet little boy wants to feel like he plays a role in his family, and he has enough compassion to recognize that these little tasks are something he is able to do for his mom, just like his mom cares for him in return. That is a child who is well balanced, emotionally intelligent, selfless, kind, caring, considerate, giving, compassionate and empathetic. What more could you ask for as a parent to know that you are raising a wonderful human being? Those are things not all children are taught by their parents, but this little boy was blessed with a loving family who did teach him the value of those things, most likely from his parents own actions and displays of love and care. That is not a bad thing. The incorporation of playtime is important for development as well, but it shouldn’t be the only thing a child experiences. Teaching them responsibility and helpfulness from as early of an age as possible is just as important to their overall development, and it teaches them things playtime never will. A child can still be a child and enjoy childhood while also having responsibilities. Responsibility and helping out those you love, whether that’s helping with household chores or helping a disabled parent with small daily tasks, is a skill and concept that a child will carry with them into adulthood. That is invaluable. This little boy’s joyful and loving demeanor is indicative of him having a wonderful upbringing, with parents and grandparents who show him a constant display of mutual love, mutual care and mutual affection towards him and between all members of the family. That is a childhood many children in loveless homes/families could only dream of. His upbringing may be different than most, but that doesn’t mean he has any less of a childhood. He will grow up and make this world a better place BECAUSE of his family and upbringing, not in spite of it.

Many of them had cerebral palsy and unfortunately many of them had been abandoned by their parents at birth and were living in orphanages or group homes. Some of these kids were so smart, but because of their physical disabilities, weren't allowed to go to school. It was so sad.

There is less of acceptance of people who are deemed abnormal like those born with defects. Kids aren't taught to respect the disabled from a young age and bullying in some countries gets really bad even if you are not handicapped. Many schools don't have the resources to deal with the disabled and neither do many parents have the patience to teach their kids why that person is like that or feel comfortable with them being around their kids.

Some choices effect society and another innocent person. The baby did not have a voice to be born. Disabled person that could make baby with same condition should not having kid(s) to reduce suffering. For her case, look like she is responsible and checked genetic information. So for her, I did not say she is wrong. Not sure if her son will agree with that when he get older.

@@annat6249 if you go by that logic then anyone who has ever had children is selfish because "the kid did not have a voice to be born". Anyone, abled or disabled, can give birth to a child with disabilities. It would be scummy to go around exclusively judging/policing disabled people on their choices to have a kid. But also that would come from the mindset that being disabled is the most undesirable thing in the world, just pure and unending "suffering" when it really isnt?? as a disabled person (both physically and mentally), the pain caused by my disabilities is *nothing* compared to the pain caused by lack of social and medical support, the stigma, and the discrimination i get from just being disabled.

both the parents and the son are such beautiful, amazing people. I can tell that the parents are raising their son well, and the son is improving their lives so much.

[@sarahelvetral3710]

This boy is so sweet, you can tell he receives a lot of love from his parents. That's all that matters to children. No parent is perfect but a parent who truly cares and loves you makes the difference

[@issy1865]

Agreed

[@tigerli7964]

Wow. As parents with disabilities, raising your son through your pain is amazing to watch. May your years be filled with happiness

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

I don’t think she’s in any pain. It looks like they are a wonderful, loving family and are enjoying every day and support one another. There’s this misunderstanding that disabled people are all miserable, stuck inside and dependent on the charity of others. It’s simply not true for a lot of people with disabilities. We work, pay our taxes, get married, raise children, buy homes, and travel the world. Some things are harder, of course, but humans are nothing but adaptable, and we find ways to get it done. This couple is a perfect example of that.

@@pinkmonkeybird2644 thank you for the reminder we need often

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

@@tigerli7964 Thank you for your kind words. I’ve lived with my disability for most of my life, and I can honestly say I’ve got a great life. But I do understand that it may seem difficult or depressing to be disabled to someone who hasn’t spent time with any people with disabilities. But like I said, we typically find ways to do what we need to do on our own. There’s a lot of satisfaction in figuring out ways to be independent - at least for me. Although I’ll admit to blaming my disability to get out of the chore of cleaning the cat litter boxes at my house. My husband has been doing that job ever since I was pregnant years ago, and I’ve never even considered taking it back now or ever.

A mother's love will remain the same despite any challenge and that boy knows it well❤

This is so heartwarming to watch! The little boy really is his mother's guardian angel! 🥰

MY EXACT SENTIMENTS 😊

[@jonmath4182]

Amazing beyond words!

[@candlestixsmixedwithtrixs]

I don’t see this being selfish at all. It’s teaching their son decision making for the future as well as observation and taking care of others. I hope this family lives on with happiness in their lives for a long time.

These women are blessed with happiness❤

Why would people be so rude to call them selfish ... look at the child he is so happy with them... and i feel proud how much hard work they put into being parents although they have to go throw so much struggle... May Allah make their life easier and happier Ameen!

[@kimmy97xD]

😊😮😮

[@pisces2569]

I wouldn’t call them selfish. I blame the Chinese government for this but I do understand why those people are upset. Making a toddler care for a parent can cause mental illness. It’s called parentification

[@rmzbro2766]

Like always, the father/husband will never claim. He is the 'guardian angel' for both 😊

[@narnia1233]

Honestly their child might do better than most because he’s learning to be independent and responsible very early on. His parents being so hardworking and happy and kind is also an advantage the child will have-having such role models for him. He’ll definitely never be able to say, I can’t do it. 😂 His parents are proving that he’s capable, as long as he’s willing to work hard.

[@dawnchamling5710]

the grit and determination of the parents, especially the mother, is commendable...children are more intelligent and capable then we assume them to be

[@serenatsukino5252]

People called her selfish for having a son "born in that environment" but the truth is, her son is raised in a loving environment. There's nothing wrong with that. People needed to stop judging.

[@SecretCollage]

I just see alot of hardwork and love from everyone in the family. That's all there is to life really. Pursuing and living the life you imagine for your self.

[@SN-kz6zb]

This child can do basic things in such a young age is enough of a miracle. The ability of this child to understand the pain her mother is going through and helping her with her chores is absolutely amazing!!

[@-Teague-]

Seriously, I bet he's gonna be sooooo smart when he's older

[@prakritinegi331]

he did not just suddenly learnt it yall forgot the part that said "the 2 yr old has been following his father in taking care of his mother" 0:45 ! Kids do what they see. what a incredible family of role models. kuddos to the mother and father!!!!!

Inspirational. All the best to your family. Your son is awesome, greatest gift parent ever hope for.

Love has no set framework and this is a true image of love. This child is likely to grow into a compassionate, attentive, and loving adult. I'm so happy for all three of them.

yeah at expense of this toddler...looks like he will be personal tired care giver with no childhood

[@sefirunyan9838]

It disgusts me that people have the Audacity and selfishness to tell a disabled person that they have no right to parent a child. Who are they to judge, those Self Righteous, selfish, humans?

[@autumn6801]

"Disabled people are people, too. Where there's life, there's a way." ❤️

[@FauZhee]

What makes you deserve to be a parent, it's not about being normal or disabled. It's about your commitment. She successfully proves that she is capable to raise her child, and there are many non-disabled people out there who failed as a parent. EDIT: Advanced apology if my choice of words comes out offensive for some people, I'm not native English. I have no clue how I shall word it better.

[@joshyeo33]

you are absolutely right!

[@missco2820]

This is NOT selfish this is love and caring and teaching the young to have compassion 🥰❤️. What a great family. Wish I had that kind of love from my family.

[@GC-bm8nl]

The problem lies in the title. Firstly, she is a mother with a disability, not a disabled mother - put the person first - not the disability. Second, the boy helps his mother, he doesn't care for her. Care refers to providing what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance, and protection of someone - this is being provided by the parents of the boy. If you know a struggling family, it is better to ask if you could help than criticise.

[@anntunaley9974]

Thank you

Not everyone deserves to be parents, BUT you guys aren’t one of them. your disabilities doesn’t disqualify you from being parents. you love, you teach and you take care of your little one in the best way you can. be proud of the strength you have.
