[blparent] experiences of blind parents with more than one small child

[Jennifer Bose]

Hi.

I'm interested in starting a discussion particularly with any parents
who are totally blind and have more than one child. My husband and I,
neither of whom depend much on sight for anything now, were talking
about what it would be like if we had more than one small child. While
that's exciting to think about, we got overwhelmed considering all the
logistics of so many things such as traveling with two small children
or just keeping them safe. For the first five years, at least, all
kinds of challenges could possibly come up. What has been the
experience of people who have taken this path? How did you manage? For
example, what was it like to take paratransit with not one but two car
seats? If one of you was with the children and the other had a busy
job or was not around much, did you get outside help? Please let me
know. Thanks.
