[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dude, when people say “having children changes everything,” this is what they are talking about OP. You are responsible for another human being for 18 years.

They are not talking about one-off stuff like buying a crib or baby proofing the house or not going out late & getting hammered.

Your life changes and your kids need you. Full stop.[/quote]

It's a completely different situation to have a child that will grow up, attend school, make friends, go to college, and have a family versus having a child that will require around the clock care for the rest of their lives. Even if you intellectually know it is a possibility, there's no way to know what it is like. Most people haven't closely observed that situation to have a point of reference.[/quote]

If you were paying attention you probably would have picked up on neighborhood or friend or coworker or extended family members with exactly such a SN child. It is difficult and never ending. Medicaid, special programs special schools, special vacations, respite programs, trusts, special jobs programs, and often shortened life spans.

Have you ever spent time with support groups on this or even the DCUM special needs board? You are not alone. [/quote]
