I don’t even know if you can buy kids shoes with laces anymore. Have other people had this experience?

We have 13 grandkids. My wife has taught about 8 of them to tie their shoes, plus our own four kids. She’s very patient, and it takes her about 10 minutes to teach them.

That’s understandable. Don’t be too hard on yourself.



im slowly learning to accept it but damn it hurts (to the point of tears some days) knowing he won’t live a normal life

i know there are parents out there who have it far worse and i feel their pain as well

I know my OP was kind of dumb but I think it really is true that slip in type shoes are getting more and more prevalent in the younger generation. Maybe in his generation he won’t need to learn and it won’t be considered different to not know how to tie shoes. I’m serious my 8 year old none of his friends tie their shoes. They all wear slip in type shoes. Anyway god bless you and your kid sir. He is lucky to have such a good and conscientious father. That is a super power not a “disability”.
