[blparent] What's it like to have a blind mom?

[Dianna Alley]

I don't think it will as long as you do as much as you can to let her be a 
regular kid and don't use your blindness as an excuse for her to not do 
certain things such as homework.  My little one's teacher tried that until I 
said I would find help if I needed it now she gets homework like the rest of 
the kids. and is doing well in school
