How will she work when he needs one on one care all day? Many people with DS cannot be fully potty trained. Her kids shouldn't suffer and become so called glass children, neglected due to a special needs child that takes up all the money and energy in the family.Yeah but you have to make sacrifices for the people you love. Otherwise dump him and go find someone else who can buy you expensive handbags and designer shoes. Sounds like she doesn’t want to do any hard work, well tough shit. Life throws you curveballs and you have to deal with them.
I feel like it's reasonable to recognize his care needs are too great. He should probably be in a group home til his mum heals. Redditors are being virtue signaling spergs and calling her an evil stepmother. They can moralize about it all they want but they wouldn't even give up a single Funko pop if it was them.
What is a glass child?
Glass children are siblings of a person who has a disability. The word glass is chosen to describe them because people tend to see right through them and focus only on the person with the disability. In addition, this child may appear to be strong, but in reality they may not not be at all and people should be aware that they could be fragile and special care and attention should be paid to them.
According to a 2022 journal article on the subject, siblings of disabled or chronically ill children are often hidden family members and their needs for support might not be met.
