I regret having my son with cerebral palsy

He’s 26, right now he has a college degree job, but he only gets 50 hours a pay period at minimum wage. I’ve been forced to help him out, but I’m just so sick of it!

I’ve been getting on his useless ass that he should apply elsewhere. The dumbfuck says he likes his job because it’s the only thing he’s good at. The sad part is that’s true. He’s not athletic or coordinated so any job requiring motor skills would be an issue for him. And nothing for his college degree is open locally (he travels 40 minutes for work)

I just regret having him fearing he’ll never achieve real money on his own. I regret him not being athletic like other men should be when he was in highschool. He’s antisocial, doesn’t have many friends, he has an obnoxious speech impediment, he will never find a girlfriend which irritates me. He’s a nobody.

I kind of wish he could make better choices or just drop dead!

  • You should at least respect him for going to college and getting a degree. If he has a job he’s good at, could be get more hours or a raise at work?

    I think this is a troll post and if it's not it's really sad that you could think that way about your own son. As a father I can't comprehend how people can not love their kids even tho they arent perfect.

    • It’s not that he isn’t perfect, but that he has little to offer to help him progress as a functioning, social, successful adult. Keep in mind I’ve already reaped little from him while he was young, OK student, no athletic success besides track.

      I fear having to help provide for him for the rest of his life. And if he’s this much of a failure I don’t expect to marry of have children.

        Well you raised him dude. Maybe you haven't built him up right. You're supposed to make him confident and go out there. Some of thats your fault too.

        Useful, huh? What do you mean by useful? Children don't get to choose whether, or not they're born, or how they come into this world. Children don't exist to serve their parents. It's not his fault that he has Cerebral Palsy.

        • I wish I was privledged to him son with athletic success. He did track and almost made states, but he couldn’t have been the best for the only sport he was good at.

          He’s a little autistic too. He was emotional growing up and asocial. He was frequently picked on, and while I demeaned his peers to apologize to him, deep down I thought what they said was true and I despised having him more.

            That's awful, and I really hope you're a troll.

    We've bastardized evolution, and these are the results.

    Tbh though, I think you're probably a troll. I really doubt a mother would admit these things about her son, but you do, in a roundabout way, bring up a serious point.

    Your hypothetical son could essentially only survive in a first world country, and even then he'd have to leach off the state and family.

    It's the moral question though. Could you leave someone like that to die? Your own flesh and blood, a person, who has emotions and feelings?, or do you leave them to just burden the back of society living, in many cases, a pitiful existence?

    You're a very sad, horrible person.
    Some people can't work as much as others, be it due to cerebral palsy or something else, and there's nothing wrong with that! At least he's working and obviously enjoying what he does and you should be proud of him. He's trying his best!
    Can't he get compensation for the hours he cannot work? In most cases you can apply for compensation if you have a diagnosis or illness of some sort and can't therefore work more than a certain amount of hours. If he can get that compensation he should he able to live well from the hours he is capable of working even though he'll probably continue needing support in other areas but I suppose he can get that from professionals but you should also be happy to be there for him as his mother.
    How terribly cold hearted you are.
    Many people don't care about having lots of money, or being athletic. Those are stupid, shallow things that only empty people value about things such as real happiness.

    You're just another asshole that clearly doesn't try to understand your own son.

    First of all, he has cerebral palsy. Your his parent. Not all jobs are fit for his condition. He's trying his hardest what ungrateful parent are you. In fact, you shouldn't even be a parent.

    You have no faith in him at the fact one day, he'll probably be more richer than your rotten ass.

    Wouldn't it be fun if you suffered a debilitating stroke and had to rely on him to survive.

    I find it hard to believe any actual CP parent would think a child like this wasn't achieving highly enough.

    Off you fuck.

    • He does fare better than most children with C.P., but he’s my only son and he fails at what most boys should be successful at.

      He sucks at sports and looks like a fag when he runs. He hasn’t had much career success and settles for a low-paying job because he says he’s good at it. He can’t find a girlfriend.

      I just view him as a burden.

    People think this is a troll or fake post but there are a few here who are just big enough ASSHOLES who would probably post something like this and mean it.

    So, basically you are a very shitty mother. He is not even a bad person and actually is a somebody.
    I hate people who never consider first of having a baby or who think of something to reach to make them useful for themselves or anything rare like to want an athletic person like “a real man should be“ Bullshit.
    You are such a dumb bitch and you are a nobody as mother, i feel so sorry for him to be your son. He is an average normal person and no one deserves a person like you are.You have too high expectations and standards

    It might be a troll but I experienced such parents a few times.
    My boyfriend had a shit mother too, made him psychic ill and literally got almost dead and can not work because of it since he is cursed by his horrible parents for his whole life.
    I never forgive any parents who never consider such important things like having a child and what it means to have one. A parents job is always to support his child because that is actually what it means to be a fcking parent. A child grows up depending on the parents who should care for it.
    It means to put your life in it until you are old.

    I feel you're a horrible parent! Your child deserves love and support throughout his life. I hope he finds light someday. It's not his fault to be born. I'm pleased to have better parents and supportive.
