This little girl enjoys looking after her sister, but it is a big ask for her. Siblings often become careers. She probably feels grown up and important doing it, and loves her sister very much, but if her parents depend on Tess too much. she might resent her sister when she is older, even if she loves her all the same. I see it in my job all the time.

What a splendid family, especially young Tess caring so lovingly for her big sister. What a mature young lady.

I’ve watched this a few times over the years. Tess is a great kid. I hope they’re all still doing well.

I Love this. Mom and Dad just has to make sure they have to see when the youngest morphs into a teenager and wants to morph into their own person with t He own family.... I'm only saying this cause I've lived through it. Bless y'all💓💓💓💓💓💓

I am a mum of 2 girls as well and my girls 29 and 30 (16 months apart) are very very close, too. The younger one has down syndrome and for 2 times we‘ve been praying not to loose her because of heart issues. But never ever I‘ve let my big one take so much care of her sister, even though she loves her the same as Tess loves Zoe. And even after my divorce I didn’ t put my tasks over to my older girl. It was her childhood, that goes by so fast, and to be a grownup with all the responsibilities would last so long. Why don‘t YOU mum prepare the lunchboxes for both of your girls? Especially when you are awake and in the kitchen the same time? Give Tess more of her childhood! Zoe is YOUR daughter not the one of Tess!

What amazing family regarding Zoe going into the immediate school on her own without Tess if you ring the immediate school ask to speak to the special ed coordinator or whoever they have and ask that she be put in classes with her friends that's what i did with our special needs son and they were quite happy to do it as it helped him settle in

The mother is putting too much on her child...its not fair she is her sister not her mother...tess needs to be a child. Having to wipe her sister after going to thr toilet is a job she shouldn't be doing .. no one notice how she said she doesn't take her husband for granted yet she takes her oldest for granted..

Why don’t the girl go to a specialist school and let tess have school day to be a normal child and not her sister keeper ?

@user-ve7hn1qf7l 14 күн бұрын

Special schools are expensive I went to one in middle school. Very hard to get into due to small numbers, not cheap, and commute was much longer then if I’d gone to the school I was districted for. (I don’t live in the uk though)

@@chrysanthemum_jessieFirstly you’re an angel and your family is so lucky to have you. It’s amazing you found your calling in life especially since it’s one of the hardest and yet most rewarding jobs in the world and because of that it should never be an expectation for a child. The comment is right, the mother made me sick with her attitude like letting the dad ‘sleep in’ while she talks about the tasks her other child has to do. When you have a child, disabled or not, it’s your responsibility to take care of them and guide them yourself or find professional help to support you. You might have had a nice experience and appreciate it but theres a community of ‘glass children’ with lifelong trauma, with poor attachment and emotional issues due to this kind of parental negligence and you cant ignore their experience because you were lucky. Caring for someone out of love on a daily basis is hard, but worth it, being raised to believe your responsibility is to care for someone creates resentment and ruins childhoods- it’s never worth that.

@shanimarais9695 7 күн бұрын

So... the mother gets up, does HER THING, and the poor youngest daughter has to do EVERYTHING ELSE??? SHOCKING!!! Perfect family? I think not! An ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITY has been forced upon that poor little girl. Disgraceful! The parents should be ASHAMED of themselves, ESPECIALLY the "mother".

Exactly Dad has a lay in so and the mum gets ready for work and the sister has to make breakfest and dress her sister. Mum and dad need to step up more.
