Could two completely blind persons take care of a child independently ? Would they need the help of a third person ? (self.Blind)

I don’t mean to offend anyone . I myself am visually impaired

Every parent in the world needs help from a third person sometimes. Raising kids is hard.



Even if it's just the occasional babysitting so they can get a break.



So yeah I can't see a reason they'd need a full time third person.

They could, and many do.

They can and they do.

Everyone needs help raising children. I'm sighted but my wife is blind and we have 3 kids. I used to work nights so my wife was basically alone most days. The only help I could think of for 2 blind people would be the baby proofing. Once that's done there's little tricks to learn along the way for different situations.

Given that parenting is never truly a 2 person job, but as a non-parent and somebody with weird vision I am fairly confidently that with the right tools that two blind parents could successfully raise a child

My fully blind parents raised several children independently.

I think two blind persons could raise a child alone. They might need occasional help with things but most parents get help occasionally. I’m visually impaired and when my son was born and an infant and toddler I had very little vision. But I learned tricks and techniques to take care of a child without much vision. My parents would help me, but there was plenty I did on my own. I think extra supports are always good and helpful. But I think two blind people could definitely raise a child independently

Organizing rides can be difficult and frustrating, but it's still possible.

Yes, it takes a village but it’s doable!

I don’t see why not. Why can’t they?
