If i may ask the health state of your children Sniper does it have anything to do with gene or should i say hereditary from your family lineage?

@Sniperinadiaper, I am amazed and gobsmacked. Sincerely you are a great woman. I just do not know what to say to you but God bless you so much and reward you for standing. You are a honourable woman and the God that you serve will make you reap exceeding abundant harvest over your children. You are an inspiration.

The lord is your strength sniper! I can remember a particular thread about a child with hydrocephalus and i shared my story about my son who died from the complications as a result of surgery he underwent. your caring response and your condolences touched me as a mother who has a child with hydrocephalus too. I still have your mobile number which you gave me through a PM. I will definitely call you before the week runs out. Please do take care of your kids as they are gifts from God. It is well.

BEREM.

Re: Inspirational Interview Of A Single Mother With Three Special Needs Children by Nobody: 3:43pm On Jun 17, 2013
The fact that you are so happy, vibrant and active in nairaland.com despite your situation, has given me the inspiration and courage to see and face up to my "problems and demons". Seeing them not as a death sentence, but as a surmountable challenge.

Thank you ma'am for this gift of inspiration. May God grant you and your little angels, your(their) heart's greatest desires.
Re: Inspirational Interview Of A Single Mother With Three Special Needs Children by Caracta(f): 4:00pm On Jun 17, 2013

Isn't it amazing how life can throw us curve balls at the least expected times
Some mothers sit and whine that their children are making B average instead of A plus
While some others are just praying that their little one can just lift a spoon and feed himself,or navigate their own wheel chair or go to the toilet by themselves.

We need to be reminded in our quest for perfection that no matter how tough we think it is ,no matter how gloomy,no matter how rough,there is always someone out there working twice as hard
That ought to wake us all up.

Incidentally,I had just finished a session of mother daughter stern talks with my daughter,bordering on facebook ,texts and phone communications with her little friends etc
Reminding her a third time that she should read some Chinua Achebe books I recommended for the Summer rather than Facebook.
then I read sniper's post and my eyes were teary
The issue I was discussing pales in comparison to what Sniper does daily,come rain,come shine.
Amazing woman!!!

So do I ( Igbo tho with biracial kids) undecided this faceless forum sef na waya grin.

But I do know she has special needs kids but its nice to know the in-depth of her story.

Sniper dear I admire your strength , I always have....but please do know you have to give them a chance to mix with other kids too, all they need is empowerment within their capabilities as they grow , bullies will come and go , bullies ain't going nowhere, they ( kids) need to know how to fight them on their own and the earlier the better wink.

They don't need sympathy from anybody but genuine empathy, that's who they are , just like every other non-special needs kids wink.
Above all .....The Lord is your strength, much love kiss POW POW!!! grin

No. The congenital problems my middle son has can be genetic but in my case it does not run in either family. It was just some sort of freak occurrence

I think i know what they are, and i felt like asking too, but it is irrelevant in the face of the bravery and strength she is showing in the face of challenges.

I agree with you but understand her caution
They will eventually grow and will be out there in the world
they need to to learn from an early age how to deal with it
I presume she must have them in church groups ,extra curricular things like ,scout etc
There was a lady in my former church that homeschooled all her children but they were very active in children's church programs and went to Church camps and trips etc

Re: Inspirational Interview Of A Single Mother With Three Special Needs Children by Pennywise(m): 6:09pm On Jun 17, 2013
Truly an extraordinarily resourceful woman. Her handle could not have conveyed an impression more unlikely - that of a black, irresponsible, immature Nigerian male.

I wish her gynaecologists were as resourceful as the pediatricians. Most of these problems directly traceable to prematurity could have been averted.
Re: Inspirational Interview Of A Single Mother With Three Special Needs Children by Nobody: 6:09pm On Jun 17, 2013

Lawalemi: She is lucky to be in an organised society

I am very blessed to be where I am and I dont take that for granted. I know if my children were born in a developing country that they would not have survived and thats heart breaking to think of how many mothers have lost their children because they couldnt get the care their children require. Can you imagine, I have a generator not because my power always goes out, but because my child was on a ventilator and feeding pump. If the power went out he couldnt breathe or eat. Some children cant even get these equipments in other countries let alone the means to continuously run them. I realised how blessed I am.


- As far as socializing my children, they get plenty of that. They are active in homeschool groups, county groups, and other activities.

My dear, we all face our own struggles. What may seem trivial to you could be huge to another person. You can't judge somebody because their trials are different than your own. kiss
