All things being equal, would you, as a dev, want your child -dev or not- to date a PWD?
Feel free to elaborate on why you chose your answer.

I feel I can't vote because I don't have any real life experience dating a PWD but I wouldn't care if my kid chose to date a PWD, just like I wouldn't care if they dated same sex, different race or culture. What I think is not so good is a long distance thing for too long. It may work for a temporary solution but it shouldn't be too long.

I totally support my hypothetical children pursuing any sort of healthy relationship if it makes them happy. I also think I’d make a decent mom to a kid who did decide to date a PWD since I have all this dev knowledge in that arena!

I chose other, because to me it really depends on whether he is a dev or not.
If he IS a dev, then yes...I’d want him to date a PWD. I would definitely want him to explore his devness in relationships to figure out how much of a necessity it is for him to feel fulfilled/satisfied in a relationship. If he ended up with an AB, cool. But I wouldn’t want him to have any regrets or miss out on any experiences before settling down.
If he’s NOT a dev, then I’m neutral. If he found a PWD that made him happy, great. If not, okay.
Ultimately I just want him to be happy no matter who he finds. (And there are other wishes I have for his partner that are more important to me, lol.)

So I’ve written that I think my daughter is a DEV. Something took place just a few days ago and I am totally confident that she is 😊. So, with that, I would totally like her to. She has already told me she would date a PWD. So, I would embrace it. I certainly wouldn’t like her to be in her 50’s - trying to explore her true feelings for the first time...  !!! Should I start building a ramp? |

I feel the same as vegmama. If my kids are devs then I'd absolutely want them to experience that. If they are not devs then it would be great to know that they are open minded enough to see past the disability. They are still young so its hard to imagine that far in the future but I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with any partner they found as long as he/she made them happy and they were able to handle whatever came with the disability. |

I chose "other". I hope I won't judge my son for whom he might be dating some day. My parents, especially my mother never thought it was their business to interfere in their daugthers' dating life, so I'd like to be the same. If my son should one day date a wheeler, I wouldn't mind as long as he's happy. I wouldn't mind if he dated an AB either.

I posted this question yesterday from the pwd point of view.
We all want our children to be in a happy, loving and healthy relationship. If that happens to be with a pwd then all well and good.
There will always be extra challenges and issues but a strong relationship will overcome them. However there are just as many pwds who are assholes as there are AB assholes and then then its not worth it.
