I agree! The parents in this are PARENTS. I acutely feel for them actually, hell of a shock to have to reconcille. A sport they love, that a child of theirs is severly injured taking part in. I can only imagine the guilt a Mother/Father would be feeling, no matter how easy the child attempts to make it for them. He is a wise child

Shit happens...Life goes on!

I dont mean that flippantly either.

Shit does happen in life. You have to deal with it!

Yep we have to deal with what with what we are dealt with

Sad but why is there always talk of a fund...ACC will presumably provide treatment, wheelchair, housing mods, school mods, special vehicle, the family will get paid to look after him by ACC...they have plenty of support and the boy will cope...

Yeah right!! Do you write the script for the Tui's Ads? Maybe you work for Uncle Helen and her mate Peters.He's honest as well!!

ACC... better off with private insurance.

I say they deserve a medal because they have brought up a top kid with a top attitude. How many times do you see bleating because of the way some parents bring up their kids, but there's almost no recognition for awesome parents! So I give them the for being such great people. They'll need all the support they can get in the months to come!

Yeah right....compared to funding for those born with a disability, his parents will have an more straightforward path and better funding...they will get a mobility vehicle funded by ACC even though the kid cannot drive...Disability you have to fund yourself because the kid cannot drive...

I could open your eyes on the subject...

Private Insurance would not cover the future requirements like ACC does plus some activities are excluded.

I think you need a tui...

Surely that is what parents should do?

I certainly don't expect recognition for my circumstances...I love my Daughter unconditionally...not much support...no medal required....it's what being a parent is all about...there are plenty of unsung parents....that is the way we like it.
