When The Little Sister Becomes The Big Sister | My Perfect Family

Despite having Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, these two sisters share a connection with each other that they don't with anyone else. As a loving and responsible older sister, she is always looking out for her sibling and makes her disability nothing to be afraid of.

My Perfect Family invites us to see the lives of modern families living with various disabilities. We see the highs and lows of being full time carers as well as the eye opening experiences of people with disabilities.

Real Families brings you stories of modern-day family life from around the world through the eyes of children, parents, and parenting experts. Stay with us for weekly documentaries and full episodes of evergreen family documentaries and parenting TV shows.

For me as a mother of three I could never let one of my children be „a little mother“ for a sibling.
Helping out sometimes is okay - but not in regular bases!
I would stand up earlier in the morning to take care of my children by my own!
Every child has the right of her own childhood.

Tess has taken on the role of Mother to her sister. I hope she does not bypass emotional development for herself. Zoey is blessed to have Tess for a sister. Mom is lucky to have another mum in the house

Tess is just the sweetest and kindest sister. What a blessing she is. 💕 Zoe is a real sweetheart.

The fact that the “little sister” became the “big sister.” And she’s such an amazing one.❤️
They really are second to none🤗

What an incredibly sweet child Tess is! Most kids would feel very uncomfortable having a sibling with special needs. Some kids are just born with a bigger heart and more compassion than alot of us. I hope she continues to become an amazing adult as well. Mom and Dad should be extremely proud of both girls. But Tess, is JEWEL. Sending hugs and love from Tacoma, WA. I also have a special needs child. At 28, he's now becoming independent. Your family is an inspiration!

Lovely Family . This is one of these moments I regret to be the only child . The sisters have such a precious relationship

[shez]

When Tess is older I hope she realizes it's fine to prioritize herself over her sister. The love and care they now share is absolutely admirable and I'm sure will last a lifetime but I hope things like career, travel and romance are never altered because of Tess feeling an obligation to her sister.

Thanks for sharing. My daughter has 4P- too, she's 23 and was verbal until about 6 when her seizures started. She now attends a day program with work

I just hope Tess gets to have a life of
her own.

It really got to me seeing Tess in the "I believe in Santa" shirt. it goes to show the class of worlds Tess lives in. Tess feels the need to be a caregiver and sort of a mini adult for Zoe but, looking at the shirt should remind everyone - Tess is only 9 years old. She is a child.

[fontressafoxx]

That is so sweet they have a special bond that's great that the sister looks after her hope they always have that bond.

[angiepahl]

It’s okay if your sister is your favorite darling, we won’t tell mom and dad 🤫❤️

Mother is clueless about nutrition. Sandwich on the morning, sandwich at lunch and pizza at evening would brake anyone’s immune system.

So let me get this straight, Tess has to “parent” zoey when the parents don’t feel like it, ok awesome….
