That's what struck me, not one sign of affection was shown to those children. Even when the little boy hurt himself! And I was sure the older girl was going to push the younger one down the stairs. She was so nasty to her sister.

I don't claim to be the perfect mother but if somebody asked me why I have so many children I'd say it was because I love looking after them, I enjoy their company. The thought of them looking after me in years to come has never entered my head and it's certainly not the reason I've got four of them.

I'm sure they are in the minority, there must be thousands of capable blind parents. I accept that they must have difficulty performing some tasks but to sit back and do nothing is just sheer laziness.
