Shouldn''t be allowed to ''ave children

Pear Tree May 22, 2011 14:09
This line was shouted at me and my family in the street yesterday.My adoptive son got very angry and shot off after the group of lads and was "helped" back by some people who know us and explained that these lads werent worth it.Unusually for me, this has knocked my confidence rather and I wonder if this is what others actually are thinking.I dont often post on this board but feel I need some support.I hate it when people see my disability before they see me. Have you faced anything similar.

i've had the 'should've aborted 'it' line about AS. other peoples insecurities can turn them into *****. good on partridge, though possibly not the safest reaction perfectly understandable.

Oh PT that is awful, how horrible for all of you. The ignorance of some people never ceases to astound me.I haven't had direct experience of ignorance like that but one of my sisters in law is reported to have said to a mutual acquaintance "you know why she is adopting its cos she doesn't want a child to turn out like her brother" My brother is severly disabled and has learning difficulties. Needless to say she and I don't speak.Nixie

There are ignorant, close minded people everywhere....unfortunately you bumped in to one!Although you probably didn't want your AS running after them...but it shows how much he cares and loves you and his family...something these ignorant "muppets" (as Littly would say) will never understand. We can only imagine what their family life is like.DOn't waste anymore of your time on these idiots...think turquoise, think "I am a brilliant mum and an amazing person all roundSM xx

I agree with what everyone else has said Pear Tree, don't ever respond to idiots like this, they just haven't got a clue about your or Patridge's lives. It's clear he loves you very much they way he defended you which just proves you're doing a fantastic job. I don't have my child yet, but whenever anyone has ever made a fool of me or made cruel comments,and they're have been a few, I have always managed to avoid letting them see it bothers me. I just pity them because they just don't get it.Take care x

Do you know what .... just rise above it PT. You are better than these ignorant oiks ... you know that and so, probably, do they. What do they know ... sod all! Silly people like this are just not worth your time and energy. God only knows what sort of poison they are putting into their children's minds .... just doesn't bear thinking about.

thank you for your kind support.I have never ever been shouted at in such a horrid way before. Plenty of pointing and muttering, mainly by older people when I use disabled parking spaces with children clearly on view, and one old bloke who decided that he was on "blue badge watch" until my Mother got out and told him a few facts!Someone has sent me a message explaining that there is a "trend" to mock disabled people, whether they be adult or child as they think this is "funny".Hence the recent poking fun facebook things that have been able.It was a horrible experience for me and my children.Someone also said I should report it as a hate crime- which is something to think about isnt it?Part of me wonders if this comes from the obsession in the media about making out no one of working age can POSSIBLY BE disabled. No one has ever questionned my ability to be a mum and I defy anyone to see how we work things here and explain to me why I shouldnt be allowed to be a mum!!!! Oh! they are so ignorant it makes me angry!Why did this happen with Mr Pt elsewhere? Im sure I was picked off because I was going the other way without another adult with us.See! It has got to me! I am now cross because I have let it get to me!!!!!!!!

Pear Tree,first of all, you have my full support. How truly upsetting and horrible for you.Secondly, don't introspect so much, this is not about you. Inspect those nasty lads. Why should you pay any attention whatsoever to their 'value judgements'. They'll pick on anyone who is visibly different. Tomorrow it might be a blind guy or another kid they've decided to bully for some non-existent reason, yesterday it happened to be you. All these guys are displaying for everyone to see is their utter ignorance, lack of compassion and maturity and foul character. Why should such people give you reason to question yourself? There will always be some 'individuals' who need to improve their lack of confidence and good feeling in themselves by putting someone else down. They're called bullies. They're weak people actually.Hold you head high and feel good about yourself. (and have a big hug because I know that such things can be so hurtful).

They don't know YOU, it's not personal. Just sheer ignorance and bullying. Don't let it get to you. (They've probably got their own problems anyway)Take care xx
