I have albinism and I don't see it as a disability my life is full of joy

Very touching. I love your attitude toward albinism. Too often, people pity us or treat us as if we're going to break at the slightest challenge. Your children are very lucky to have a mom like you. I laughed so much at the wish to dip them in a vat of sunscreen. I wish I could do that to myself!

You're batshit crazy. Albinos go through so much daily crap slapping on sunscreen to keep their skin protected from burning and cancer, then there's the issue of blindness in the eyes due to the lack of melanin. You are really thoughtless.

I think albino is beautiful! I would love to look like that

You may have to attend a teacher's meeting to educate them about albinism to get them to STOP telling kids falsehoods about it. I remember having teachers tell my classmates that albinism was anything but good; that creatures born with it are rejected by their own kind; that they are doomed to die young. As a kid, I left each lecture feeling that I would never be loved and that I was living with something terminal. My classmates treated me like a pariah.. As a parent, be proactive.

If your kids decide not to wear their glasses anymore, don't hound them. I have lived with albinism my whole life and have found my glasses offer me little help. Conventional forms of correction do very little to raise your visual acuity. At best, they can only enhance the acuity you already have. Make sure your teachers give your kids class notes and instruction to replace the instruction they routinely present from video appliances to the black board.

When I first saw albinos when I was little, I never thought they were any different. They spoke the same language and played just like we all did.

Your children are adorable. I had the lazy eye, wandering eye, growing up. I was teased and made fun of, and finally had it straightened when I was an adult. I was amazed at how much better my vision was because I grew up thinking there was 1 1/2 of everything. Children are children, and everyone deserves a chance to have a loving family. Thank you for doing it.
