Mom Wanted To Give Her Son With Down Syndrome To Foster Care, The Father Decided To Raise His Child All On His Own

"Come on, Pandas, we're better than this!" Oh, sweet summer child...

Mom Wanted To Give Her Son With Down Syndrome To Foster Care, The Father Decided To Raise His Child All On His Own

Exactly, because womens contributions are so often overseen. "Single Mother raises a down syndrome child all alone." rarely makes the headline because it is what is expected of women. When a man does it is global news. I am not, in anyway, trying to take away the wonder and beauty of this story... but it has only made headline news because he is a male. You can see why women are feeling slighted. Men doing basic parenting is met with global acclaim... women who do this everyday, and are in the majority of these caretaker roles, are not. I do not agree with the hate but I understand the frustration.

The title literally starts with 'Mom Wanted To Give Her Son With Down Syndrome To Foster Care...' which is why people are finding it inflammatory. While I don't think Evgeny has the wrong attitude, maybe whoever wrote this article does.

You are a normal man, that's right. And you are behaving precisely the way a normal man SHOULD act. No doubt! (But you are a lovely normal man, and a fine example for others.)

Or or better yet! The millions of women who are raising apparently "regular" children after Dad effed off. :O

Mom Wanted To Give Her Son With Down Syndrome To Foster Care, The Father Decided To Raise His Child All On His Own

You beat me to it. He's raising a Down's kid on his own? And that somehow makes him special? He's a freakin' PARENT. That's what he's supposed to do.

Mom Wanted To Give Her Son With Down Syndrome To Foster Care, The Father Decided To Raise His Child All On His Own

They're offended because there are millions of women living this scenario and they aren't being celebrated for it, because it is just expected of women.

Mom Wanted To Give Her Son With Down Syndrome To Foster Care, The Father Decided To Raise His Child All On His Own

Omg he is soooo beautiful!

Actually signed in just so I could agree with you. This is insane.

Mom Wanted To Give Her Son With Down Syndrome To Foster Care, The Father Decided To Raise His Child All On His Own

Ok, and now we'll look at the stories of the millions of women who are rasing a handicapped child after the Dad buggered off.

Mom Wanted To Give Her Son With Down Syndrome To Foster Care, The Father Decided To Raise His Child All On His Own

Totally agree too. It's never in the news when men abandone their kids because it's too much for them.

Mom Wanted To Give Her Son With Down Syndrome To Foster Care, The Father Decided To Raise His Child All On His Own

I was unable to have children due to sterilezation at 17. If I'd been financially able to adopt a child, I would want one with Downs. They are the sweetest, most loving kids on this earth.

Mom Wanted To Give Her Son With Down Syndrome To Foster Care, The Father Decided To Raise His Child All On His Own

Not sure why this is newsworthy - parents are expected to not abandon their babies. Women raise children alone all the time, special needs and all. Mishka's a cute kid though, and I guess yay for Evgeny for being a decent person.

This Hero Dog Has Been Tasked With Finding Koalas That Have Survived Australia's Bushfires

Full Name... they call him a hero because he has a super power we don't.... his sense of smell.... without it many of the animals he detects would simply die....in agony, so even though he is an animal doing what he is trained to do without feeling... he is still a hero in this country to those who would like to see one of our most beloved native animals survive....

This Hero Dog Has Been Tasked With Finding Koalas That Have Survived Australia's Bushfires

Please donate now no matter how small to help the poor animals. The staff at the Koala hospital are volunteers so your donations go to the care of the poor animals hurt by the fires. And BTW not just Koalas have been destroyed by the fires and the volunteers are helping all the wildlife. Don’t let Lewis die in vain!

Too cool, a great story. I wish I felt there was going to be a happy ending, but my fear is that mankind will only stop destroying the landscape when there is none left to destroy. If applying to a job anywhere else in the universe, I'd never list "member of the human race" on my resume, it's just too embarrassing, we are a failed experiment.

This Hero Dog Has Been Tasked With Finding Koalas That Have Survived Australia's Bushfires

I am Australian and currently due to global warming the bush fires are worse then they have ever been destroying hundreds of homes across Australia! Our firefighters (dogs and human) all deserve massive thank yous and our gratitude for the work they continuously put in!!!

This Hero Dog Has Been Tasked With Finding Koalas That Have Survived Australia's Bushfires

Please donate to the Koala Hospital and Australian conservation funds! The fires have destroyed vital breeding grounds, and the koalas need a helping hand to recover.

Dogs are the only domestic breeds that bond to their human caretakers. Hence the most amazing animals on the planet! Bear is only one of the countless dogs that have helped our species and our planet in countless ways.

Oh no! He might have to pay attention to "his" children.

Eating mustard alone, doesn't taste good (especially English Mustard, which is kinda both bitter, and hot (like cracked pepper)). Ham, in those days, was expensive, due to the manufacturing process. So, a "ham sandwich" was seen as fancy, especially in the cities (compared to those who lived on working farms). Essentially, you have two lower-working-class guys making a pun because she's wearing a "sandwich board" sign, and saying that she isn't "fancy" like "ham", but rather, is "bitter and peppery" like mustard. It's a multi-layered objectification / insult / attempt at pun-humour, by 2 low-class idiots.

Grown-Up Kids Share The Most Embarrassing Things Their Parents Ever Did In Front Of Them (30 Tweets)

And this is why we need to change our perspectives. "Oh no, not as A GIRL? The horror and shame of being dressed as a GIRL! My parents thought it would be funny to humiliate me by dressing me as a GIRL!" I know this is not the purpose of the post... but I would love to see a day when being dressed as a "girl" is not humiliating and shameful. I get that the situation was awful at the time... but it shouldn't be. If the roles were reversed the god-awful horror would have been in no way as embarrassing. Do you kinda get what I mean? Not trying to be 'that guy' just an observation in the comments section on a fun post.

Boy Paid At A Restaurant With Quarters, They Shamed Him Online, But Now The Restaurant Regrets It

I'm Australian too. Although it is a pain in the butt to count out $1 and $2 coins... Ive never been told it is against any law. I do know that the buses/trams/trains only take a small amount of 5c coins though... which pisses me off because sometimes it is all you have because you have used all the rest buying a pie. I've never been refused though.
