Do parents not get tired of having a child who is sick almost throughout their life?

I don't think they would ever get tired as in "oh i can't be bothered with this anymore" tired.

But I do know that havin a sick child is emotionally draining.

My daughter was born 3 months early, personally, for me it was one of the worst times of my life,. not knowing day to day if she would wake up, she couldn't keep milk down, she was hooked up to machines, I was practically living in the hospital with her, i had 2 other kids at home who needed me, it was exhausting. But in my case things got better. I was Lucky.

If my kids became sick as teenagers. I'd go through all the worry again, the sleepless nights etc.

Its an unwritten rule for parenting - you're kid has a hard time, you're right being them picking up the pieces or mopping up the sick.

The answers are as myraid as there are people

The vast mjority will be tired but will love their child and do all they can not regretting having a child but sad that their child won't be normal. They also will tend to be more over protective and want them to stay home as long as possible if not forever to watch them and make sure they are healthy. Parents worry about healthy children when they leave and are on their own I can only imagine what they will do if a sick one moves out.

There are some who can't take it. Many marriages break up over things like this one or the other parent walks out and leaves one parent holding the bag because they can't handel it.

There are many more senarios in between there is no hard and fast rule

No matter what happens, I would ALWAYS love my child unconditionally. My biggest dream is to have a child and raise a family one day. Every parent hopes that their child is healthy and well, but obviously that doesn't always happen. If I had a child who was sick all their life, I would probably become very frustrated. I would want them to get better. However, I would not be mean to them or disown them because they're sick. It's not like they wanted it to be that way and they can't control it. I'd probably become very frustrated, but not to the point where I wish I wouldn't have had the child. I might think it sometimes, but I would NEVER seriously mean it. I really don't know how I would handle the situation though.I just hope that when I have a child they are happy and healthy.

All parents get tired of parenting, having a sick child only magnifies the issues. All parents say mean things to their kids at times, because parents are only human. We all want a rest from them sometimes, but that doesn't mean we want them to go away forever. I don't have sick children, fortunately, but know people who do, and they miss the child when he/she is away for more than a few hours.

Frankly NO parent want to do those things but we all do. I can't tell you how many I have snapped at my little boy and regretted it seconds later.

He has Cerebral Palsy so at nine he acts and behaves much like a five year old most of the time.

I'm sure they do. I can't say I've ever met a parent who didn't occasionally get tired of their kids. Tired of bickering. Tired of complaining. Tired of whining. Tired of homework. Tired of sports. Tired of cleaning up. Tired of laundry. Tired of packing lunches. Tired of listening to back talk. Tired of driving.

And we all snap at our children occasionally but we love them. And to have a sick child is heart wrenching. You feel helpless when you can't fix it.
