Celebrities › Re: Can You Marry A Footballer? by mohawkchic(f): 5:19am On Nov 06, 2008
~Unless you plan to marry the Profession itsellf,i beliveve there's an Individual behind the Profession ?!! ~ Is it any wonder the women who marry "The Profession & Lifestyle" always  have their r/s & marriages on the rocks!!

~I suppose i can understand the fascination . . .the glam lifestyle of "WAGS" make it look like its an extra-ordinary cool thing to bag a Footie Player with much emphasis placed on the "Professional Footballer" instead of the Individual!!

when your wife delivers a child youre not suppose to have you tell me youll smile and take it to your mum and youll be welcomed with both hands widely open ahh cmon be real,


[~You deal with it,thats the hand that fate dealt you!! One would be expected to go thro a roller coaster of emotions, the parents will be distraught . . . as a mother i would have a million questions,i'd blame myself . . i'll wallow in self-pity,there'll be aching pain that will never go away every time you look at that child & wish for healthy child . . but will it change anything?

~I have seen that pain in the eyes of parents . . wishing there was something they could do,doing research after research to find out "WHY" ~ "What caused the disability" . . .but you know what,life goes on . .dwelling on the ~"If's ~But's ~& Why's" ~aint going to make what the reality of the suitation is!!

~You're left with little or no choice but to move on . . .take the positives with the negatives . . the joy of giving birth will be quickly replaced with finding out the best available care to give to your child!! Worrying about what people will think about the disabled child will be the least of my woories!! but then thats me!!

~It will be great to have support from family but if you think your family will not accept a disabled child with open hands then i think i can try to grasp at straws & try real hard to understand/respect our differences in opinion on your views on the topic!
Romance › Re: Guys Who Fall In Love are Fools by mohawkchic(f): 1:21am On Nov 06, 2008
~There's nothing wrong with being a hopeless romantic who falls in love over & over again!!Or believing in Serendipity,the guiding hand of fate!!

~Are you that percentage of guys who have never fallen in love?

~One thing i know about love is this,no matter how determined you are "not to fall in love",when you meet that special someone who'll knock the socks of you,you'wouldnt even know what hit you!! & you'll be all too happy to declare you were a fool to think "Guys Who Fall In Love Are Fools!!"  wink

~You don't plan to fall in love . . .it happens in the most Intense magical way,from the change of rhythm of your heartbeat when you see or are with that person to the the funny flip flop feeling in your tummy  . . aah i love falling in love & it is a very special gift to receive & give back!!

~It wont always be a permanent feeling But its an Irreversible emotion,you can't help the way you feel,If you ask me,its the best feeling in the world . . flaws are non-existent, i want to spend every moment with that person,i feel passion,compassion,i feel like am walking on cloud 9 with a glaze over my eyes!! if that makes me a fool,i'll gladly suffer to be called a fool than not experience falling in love!!

~As much as i want to have a go at the Original poster,i realise raising awareness about disability will serve a better purpose Plus it gives me the opportunity to write about something i feel very passionate about!!

~No one gets pregnant & wishes for a baby with ill-health,much more any form of disability!!None of us are more special than the parents who have disabled kids,so mayb next time you look at a kid with disability with a shudder,or think "tofiawka"  don't forget they have every right to be here Just like you & me . . .not to suffer or to be stared at but to be loved & cared for!!

~The stigma most african societies puts on disability is just a misconception that makes people scared of the prospect of having a disabled child!! The very idea of having a child with disability would be seen as a curse which is why many kids especially in africa are discrimnated against!! They end up being the victim of "Why me" or "How-did-i-end-up-been-like-this"


~Given that the complexity of the disability isnt the issue here,as"Mr-For-me-seriously-the-orphanage-will-have-a-new-intake" didnt specify what type of disability will make him reach such a decision,I Cannot and Will Not  psych myself not to want to accept a child with any form of disability as common as[b] Physical disability or impairment ie can't walk,talk,hear,see . . . .or Learning disability . . . which most might consider to be a child who is slow or to some people stupid!! [/b]


~Or Autism which is a brain disorder which causes impairment in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication &  repetitive behaviors problems or obsessive interests . . . . in a typical african settings that child would be considered to be possessd by demons or whatever reasons is accepted by their standard of tradition/cultural differnces or society in general!!


~It's easy to blame an unknown reason why some children are born with some impairments/disability but in some cases the mother is responsible for such disability/ies!! the most common example will be Mums-to-be who drink too much & use drugs  . . with not so much as a clue of the damages they're doing to their unborn babies!!

She has the thing, winking her eyes at us, if she doesn't want us to eat at someone's house or trying to tell us sth and doesn't want other people outside of the family to know.
~lol . . .aaw grin what is it with that "Eye" or "Look" . . . if you like,that they give most especially when NOT to eat in someone's house ? I know it too well from my Mam & Nana!!


~My Nana takes pride in making sure she introduces us to every neighbor on her road!! and i mean everyone . .no exaggeration cheesy. . . .If she'll have her way,she'll make me say hello to each and every one of these people everytime i visit . . . sometimes some of them come over . .lol,am her very own celebrity & i often feel like one after all the hello's & warm welcome cheesy

~To say am outraged by your own admission is beyond words!!~ angry Your uncanny shrewdness practically broke my heart to know people like you are allowed to live/love/be cared for . . . when you think your own child doesnt deserve that from you & more !!! angry angry angry


~EVERY DISABLED CHILD MATTERS!!~


~Do you for a second think all the parents out there that has special needs child/ren wished it upon themselves? Yet some of them love & care for these kids unconditionally!! I suppose you fall under MOST of the ignorant selfish parents & would -be-parents of kids with special needs who/will abuse their kids,take advantage of the disability funds or pretend to forget they ever had a child w/ special needs . . .heart-rending it is!!

~Yes . . . it can be emotionally & pyhsically draining depending on the child's disabilty . . .most times to the point of breaking down but your responsibilty as a parent to love & care for your child as best as you can,renews your strength to want to do anything possible for your child!!

~I could rant about all the reasons why these kids are special,that they deserve to be here just like you & me . . .but it would just wash over you seeing how you've made up your mind to abandon your child should they have any form of disability & to laugh about it too!!Jeez man . . am aghast!!!

~Am suddenly more aware that the world is indeed a cruel place, would it be better if you didnt think like that tho . . .Naaa sad

whiteroses:
damn mohawkchick, you pretty much hate everything, but you lucky because when I was a kid I wish my mum will give me some of those to eat, i mean who hates eggs, shrimps, butter, sardines, tomatoe, luncheon meat, well apart from liver maybe its because I was a boarder from primary six to s.s2 so if we could sneak those in the hostel we'd be celebrating, well apart from when the boys come and beg and steal some and thats another story lol
~Lol whiteroses . . Now thats the same guilt trip my mama use to give me . . out of my list i have tried really hard over the years to at least eat a couple of things !! tongue
