My late husband was a Marine Corps Scout/Sniper. He wound up in a wheelchair at the end of his life. I.was his caregiver at the end, but I was there because I loved him for his mind, his heart, his sense of humor, and didn't think that his worth was defined by the use of his legs. I was, and still am, proud to have been his wife. I always thought I was the lucky one.
Thank you for your husbands service and yours are well as his wife. You are my hero girl may he rest easy and you be blessed by your tremndouse sacrifice and healed from the loss of a true american hero! He watches over you now I'm sure. Thank you for all you both have for our freedom.
I grew up without a father. I would have been delighted to have Shane as a dad! He's got all the dad jokes down already haha. You guys are gonna have a beautiful family ♡
You know what I really really love about these 2? The fact that you can see how secure Shane is and that he truly knows that Hannah doesnt look at him as a "chore" or a burden. I love it so much
It breaks my heart that people say you wouldnt be a good father. Watching just one video shows how amazing both of you will be and how lucky your kids will be. They will be the most caring, educated, inappropriately funny little humans.
I absolutely agree. What Shane won’t be able to do physically he will more than adequately make up for by being loving, fun, educational and kind to his kids. Kids have their own little legs so they can always hop up on dad and give him a hug whenever they want.
I'm not tryna attack people, but the ironic thing is that Shane is probably gonna be a way better parent than all the people who comment saying that he's unfit to have kids. I'm really not just saying that either, Shane (and Hannah) is going to be an amazing parent and their kids are going to be so lucky to grow up in such a warm environment. Genuinely, you guys are going to be top tier parents.
I never thought I had any preconceived notions about someone in a wheelchair until I bought my first house in my early 30's. We wanted to tear down the awful suspended ceiling in the kitchen, and a friend of my husband offered to help. (He's been a paraplegic for over 30 years) I was wondering how he was going to help, but when he showed up at our house, he came equipped with a pole and "grabby" thing he MacGyvered together and had no problem. I was so narrow-minded that I didn't realize how resourceful and resilient people can people when faced with an obstacle. He also went on the ride my horse in the next few weeks. He totally changed my perspective and he doesn't even know it, I was too ashamed to tell him. Thank you both for reaching out and teaching people (like me) who may not even know that they have these preconceived ideas how wrong we can be.
On the "wheel chairs ate awesome note" my grandmother was a disability rights activist and her main tool was her chair. Its heavy, and bulky, and it made her and her group hard to arrest. She literally would lay down in front of busses and its was a whole ordeal to remove her and her chair. She was fighting for disability access on public transit.
I am in a wheelchair due to a disability and 25 years ago when I became pregnant with my son people were asking how I got pregnant. I told them if they didn't know how then I suggested they went back you school to study the birds and the bees lol
I love that comment! It serves them right... while you may be happy to answer questions, your sex life and “how” you got pregnant is so far out of bounds, I would be angry! What gives someone the right to know That? A good friend is one thing, but a nosy person is entirely something different. 👍🏻
Thank you for this video! I am a teenage girl in a wheelchair and hope I find a guy as understanding and caring as Hannah one day! Please stay safe and healthy! 💜
Shane and Hannah, I've just found these videos and as a disabled man I just want to say t hank you. Thank you for shining a light on the struggles that we face in a daily basis. Thank you for also showing people that just because someone might use a wheelchair, it doesn't mean we can't have a productive and normal life just like anyone else. Good luck in your upcoming marriage and In hope you have many happy years together.
I love watching this when I'm going through my PTSD episodes, it's a great distraction and it makes me smile and laugh when I just wanna scream and cry
30 years ago when I was in hs, I showed up on the first day of school expecting to have the same Science teacher that my older brother had 2 years earlier. Instead, a very young, fresh-faced, long-term substitute entered the room and explained that the teacher we all had been expecting had sustained a major spinal injury over the summer (from falling off a balcony and breaking her back). “She has lost the use of her legs, is in rehabilitation, and is currently learning how to be mobile in a wheelchair. She *hopes* to return to the classroom - at least part time - 2nd semester.” After the shock wore off, our class began churning through Science with our new sub (who turned out to be a great teacher, btw, and *still* teaches at my old hs!). At semester, our original teacher *did* return to the classroom (part-time) and mine was one of the fortunate classes to have her as a teacher. The tables and chairs were reconfigured a bit to allow for her wheelchair. She spent much of that first day answering any & all questions .... She told us all sorts of things that we might have been to timid to ask, about her accident, her heath, her chair, her recovery, and so on. Open & honest, full of humor and wit. She demanded respect, not pity. She may have physically sat lower, but was still the “tall” authority. After a few weeks of regular Science curriculum, it occurred to me one day as she visited each of our tables to see how we were progressing on our group projects: her wheelchair and her disability had suddenly become a complete *nonissue* for us. Some kids at school who weren’t in any of her classes still stared sometimes; it was obvious they hadn’t had the same opportunity to feel comfortable. TO THIS DAY I’m *so thankful* that I had her as a teacher. I feel lucky to have been in one of her first classes back. From that semester, and for many years after, she taught her students much more than just Science.
Erin Stroebel assume story !! What was her name ? Is she still live? This kind of learning doesn’t happen anymore!! Much less learning anything of value!!
I know exactly what you mean, I have a friend with severe CP who uses a wheelchair and has a service dog. She is the first person I've known who has either. At first it was uncomfortable and awkward (for me), but it's amazing how quickly she just became "Emily" and it was no big deal.
Hey, Hannah and Shane, I just want you guys to know that you guys helped me pass nursing school. I have PTSD and anxiety on account of being in an abusive relationship and having a history of childhood abuse under my belt. Your videos kept me sane as I studied for my last final, I passed only a week ago, but it feels like forever. You have no idea what your channel means to people, and I mean that in the best way possible. I can only speak for myself, but I watch your channel because I want what you guys have. However, I have taken this time to focus on myself and to unlearn all the unhealthy habits, to mature from codependent to interdependent, and to become the person I was always meant to be. For myself. And then, and only then, can I find a relatioship as happy and flourishing as yours. Thank you for listening, and I wish you all the best. Stay safe! ❤️
I‘m so happy for you that you are learning healthy ways to process your trauma & I wish you the very best that when you feel ready, you find someone who you can have that special connection with :)
I too have PTSD n anxiety as well as severe depression. I also am disabled with physical issues constant pain. I love binge watching them to help with my emotions. They are so positive n funny but yet so helpful teaching others about different diabilities n interabled relationships. I just love their love n I hope I can find it one day.
She has brains and thus she could be a model, actress, or beauty queen ? Since when do those “occupations” require brains ? Not that smart women can’t do those things, but…
It’s weird that people are so obsessed with how other people have sex......like wtf who asks that. EDIT: Lol wowzy wowza I did not mean to start anything y’all. I didn’t even read all the comments. I just SIMPLY agreed with Shane and Hannah that if you are curious- Google it. Don’t ask people about their personal business. That’s literally all I meant by it.
Tanith Jackson why tho? Like unless their pleasure is your business, it’s not your business. Clearly neither of them are open or comfortable about being sexual or taking sex online, which is fine. There are other sites on the internet with people who are clearly comfortable with being sexual or talking sex online, which is also fine. If your so curious about how other people have sex, you can access those.
HannahTheHorrible calm down, horrible. Some people are curious because they want to know if they themselves are willing to date someone who is disabled. 🤷🏼♀️ not everyone wants to and these questions matter. They can help change minds and open up minds. So hush.
theoboegoddess as a transgender man who has been consistently tormented by “curios people” I can tell you that you are wrong and the way that two people have sex with each other is a very personal and private thing, and it’s straight up fucking rude to ask somebody that unless you plan to have sex with them. All you’re saying here is “I am ignorant because my ideas about sex have been shaped by society instead of experience and it is your job to educate me”
I would never ask but I'm am curious AF, it's human nature to wonder,sex is not dirty amongst consenting adults so it's not perverted to be curious and like I said if I wonder,I go to porn hub and I'll definitely fulfill my curiosity as there's everything there🤦🏽♀️ without making people uncomfortable.
I just love what Shane does with his eyebrows when he laughs. He is a good looking man. One can be 100% healthy and still be miserable and not happy. A healthy body does not make you a happy person. I can see why she loves him.
Před 3 lety+1
I absolutely love that about him. 😊 it's charming.
I totally agree and not going to lie over the last couple weeks of following them i really see how wonderful shane is and how lucky they both are to have each other. I love shane and hannah and if i could find love like this it would be everything to me. Its kind of funny because before i found them on youtube i would see this handsome man whose in a wheelchair at my clinic every now and then and i really like him....maybe someday ill find the courage to see if he has a gf lol
Yeah my boyfriend has DMD and people will be like, "oh you are so special." I feel weird about that. It's like by praising me they lower him, but he doesn't see it that way. He is the best man I've ever known. I feel like it makes more sense for him to be praised for being with me.
Doesn't it mmake both of you feel like objects? When I had a guide dog and eveyone knew why, they'd come up and tell me what an inspiration I was but if I sat at their table at a banquet, they moved somewhere else and NOT because the dog was in their way. I think people feel safer making statements like these. Some do it to avoid real conversation. Their loss.
@@shelleymagnussen1959 You know I honestly don't think much about what people think or say in regards to us, though it has been all positive for the people that know us. I suppose it is good that people are inspired, even if there reasons for it are a little odd. And because of how society is, I suppose it does take the right person to look at the person rather then the disability. There is allot that people just don't get. People feel weird about disabilities for some reason and tend to either ask only about a person's disability or are to afraid to ask at all. Maybe people will learn eventually.
Love watching this, because my partner and I have a similar relationship to yours. I have Cerebral Palsy and use a wheelchair, my partner is able bodied. So many of your experiences mirror ours, people stand over me and cry. My partner is a saint for “putting up with me” their words. Thanks so much for these vlogs. I love hearing about your experiences, keep these vlogs coming. Love you both so much xxxx
Agree totally! My partner has cp and uses a wheelchair and I'm able bodied. I'm only 'putting up with him' when he's being a butthead... not because he's using a chair lol.
And grabbing him to pray him out of the chair...smh... just stop. also... i am not a saint with a special place in heaven for caring for and loving him.
Im in the wheelchair every now and then i have a Walker and crutches and oxygen here where i live at we have a swimming pool but don't know if we can get into the swimming pool this year cuz of the quarantine
I love you guys. My dad had MS and used a wheelchair for most of my life. He was just as annoying and told just as many embarrassing dad jokes as any non-disabled dad. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and educating the world. Also, the socks rock. 👏👏
I agree with everything about this video except for the fact that Hanna “doesn’t deserve praise”. You do a lot of extra work in a day being in a relationship with a disabled person. Not only taking care of him but all the house chores on your own. You can’t deny that and shouldn’t pretend it’s not true.... that being said... it’s just part of the nature of your relationship and it’s a choice you make and it’s nice :)
Agreed! I became a certified nursing assistant a couple of months ago but havent worked as one due to school. However, during my training I shadowed nursing assistants. Any form of a caregiver deserves praise IMO when done for the right reasons. Compassionate caregivers are amazing and of course disabled people deserve basic things like good hygiene, to be clothed, choices, etc. caregivers go out of their way to do this and it is beautiful.
It’s definitely work, however what they’re trying to say is that it’s just a normal day and routine for them instead of a chore that you have to do. But I’m sure Shane does appreciate her and have thanked her for caring for him, while for her she’s like, for what? Lol
I agree that it's more work, physically, but it's not appropriate for *strangers* to be giving that praise. I feel that's reserved for Shane. I'm not physically disabled, but there are some things I can't always do for myself and my wife takes care of them. It's more work for her, but she does it because she loves me. That said, I'd feel utterly humiliated and upset if some rando told her she's "so strong" and "should be praised" for all she does for me. That's an internal part of our relationship, It's Literally behind closed doors (of our house). I WISH she didn't have to do those things, and for someone to praise her for doing them would feel like a thinly veiled put-down towards me "oh you're so virtuous to care for a useless wretch like Canada". However, people wouldn't say that to her because it's not obvious. Just because people on the street can guess that Hannah does a lot for Shane, doesn't mean it's not incredibly rude to say.
But it doesn't deserve praise. She's doing it because she wants to. Would you praise someone simply because they helped out their disabled spouse or family member/friend? It's the same concept.
there's a difference between praise from a spouse and praise from a stranger. one feels like a meaningful expression of gratitude, the other feels patronizing and insulting, esp to those of us with a disability who have to be constantly reminded we will always be dependent on someone. of course my spouse cares for me, do you not care for your loved ones when they're sick or unwell? it's the same thing
Hey, glad to hear you found support in these videos. I was born legally blind. When I turned 20, I went through a real struggle. I cried a lot. I cried all through the service at church. I didn't know why I was crying. I realized I was extrordinarily frustrated. It finally came to me that now being thousands of miles from my parents, I was finally doing what I should have done years earlier, mourning my disability. It wasn't self pity. A lot of things were going right. I landed a good job with assistance from no one other than someone filling out the application for me. It came and went in seasons for about a year. I didn't fight it. I embraced it. I fell down in one of those belts of bark dust in a restaurant parking lot. My friend, instead of rescuing me from myself, flopped down there beside me, asking if I was praying and could he join me. Something happened. Fir the first time in my life, I felt like an equal. It was alright to trip over something and fall, long as I didn't end up in the ER. I discovered I took myself too seriously and let others define me. I decided there in the mud that if I was going to live with this vision impairment, I might as well enjoy it. I still have grieving times on occasion, but they don't last long. It gets better. The very best thing I can do is go do something for someone else. It's energizing!
Hanna isn’t sacrificing her life at all she loves Shane and taking care of Shane is just part of there relationship ! I am so excited for there future together
@Evgeny Knorr Not sure what your problem is but out of the many many videos I've watched of these two, is undeniable to me how much they love each other. Anyway if they can a few bucks on the side with CZcams because of their brilliant personalities I don't see the problem.
This Evengy Knorr person seems to be stirring up every thread with ridiculous comments (I haven't actually read any, just replies to her...) then deleting them. Clearly just a pathetic troll. Sad...
Colleen Gibson I didn’t need to but I wanted to so I did. There seems a lot of conspiracy theorists on here masking as ableist tits. Or it might be the other way around!
One of the stupidest things anyone could say is don't have kids - Shane's gonna be an awesome dad and I'm sure your kids will love and adore him and always respect him and look up to him
I really like his confidence despite being disabled. I can see why someone as beautiful as Hannah fell in love with him. I see no hint of insecurity in him. Shane you are a real man. And Hannah you are the perfect ideal of a woman.
@@gingercowgirl5358 theyre saying that because both Hannah and Shane have said before how rude people will comment crap like how does he get a girl like that or she’s way too good looking for him etc. so they’re saying they can see why someone so pretty would fall for him because of his character and personality and completely forget about his disability.
Love this. I worked in a disability services office for years and it amazed me how many people use the term “wheelchair bound” or “confined to a wheelchair”... it makes me cringe! I tried to educate people as much as I could. A wheelchair is a wonderful, amazing tool for people who may have mobility differences. It can open up someone’s world and give them freedom!
#6, yes! I was once out for coffee with someone with a disability, and someone came up to me thanking me for “the work” I do... I felt so embarrassed... just trying to have coffee 😐
Yeah working as a disability support worker I have received tones of thankful comments for just doing my job… like I don’t deserve a medal for getting paid to have coffee and hang out with great company I throughly enjoy. Likewise I feel like they judge just as quickly if they see me slightly unengaged on my phone while with the person I’m supporting, giving them independence and not constantly being in there face on a 12hour shift, with someone who has 24 hour 24/7 support; like they are just trying to live there life and have downtime too.
THOSE SOCKS ARE EVERYTHIIIIING!!! what life is worth living for, the world NEEDS to see Shane in his fancy, sassy cheese-it socks!! :D wave, Shane, wave with your cheesy feet!!!!
Oh I totally relate to this!! When I first met my now husband, he was already diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. So many people kept saying to me “Are you sure you want to give up your life to be a caretaker?”🙄 I didn’t “give up” my life. I have a career and hobbies and my husband and I do so many fun things together just like any other couple. It is insane how many people think inter-able relationships equal sacrifice or that it makes us (the able bodied person) special or some kind of saint. I’m lucky he puts up with ME every day!
My father is also disabled, he has just one leg. After my parents split up and my mum eventually got into a new relationship, I was totally confused why the new man had two legs 😆
Love the socks, you guys being together all boils down to one thing, you both love and respect each other and that is quite obvious by the way you look at each other, stay happy and safe
I agree with the thing about people saying they couldn't do something other's do. For example I've helped care my dad through cancer and was told this by people. I appreciate the sentiment but really there's no choice. If your given a situation you cant really just decide not to deal with it. If a family member is ill or disable you just get on with it and support each other. So when people say they couldn't do it really they would if in the situation as you can't really not do it. Sorry for the rant, hope this makes sense
Emily, this is so true. I have Multiple Sclerosis, in a wheelchair, live by myself, and work full time. I hear it all the time! Even my last physical therapist was adamant she couldn’t when I told her the exact same thing. I don’t know if it’s because of my independence but I always tell people if they’re faced with it they’d be able to do it!
As the wife and caregiver myself, I love you guys and your candid responses. I especially appreciate your response to the sex question. I understand your desire to keep the specifics private, but I also commend you for addressing some of the misconceptions people have regarding disability and sex. Also, you guys are too funny ❤❤
I came across a video “day in the life “ on Facebook and just wanted to express my sadness that people are cruel to you guys and also thankful you are willing to put your life out there to help educate people about disabilities. I am severely dyslexic and both of my siblings are on the autism spectrum. I can’t count how many times I’ve asked someone I’m dating or a friend for help reading or writing and the reaction often isn’t one of compassion and understanding. I’m happy you guys found someone who can understand and love you for you. What People don’t realize is we don’t have to be ashamed of our “disabilities” because no one is perfect so we really aren’t different. The biggest difference is we can’t hide from our struggles and therefore we make peace with them and find happiness sooner than most. ❤️
I love the way Hannah looks towards Shane frequently because it’s obvious she has so much confidence in him as her partner and friend. Wheelchair, disability, whatever - Shane teaches people how to respect him by his intelligence, wit, and confidence in the purpose behind the life he’s been given and, though Hannah does his care, you can tell he’s the one to gently and assuredly lead their relationship. It’s truly amazing to see and I’m thankful for such a beautiful example of an interabled couple that are way healthier than most able-bodied couples I know. Amazing examples to all of us with your love and respect for one another!
Speaking of Shane being a parent some day, the funniest thing i've ever seen Shane say in a video is that he hopes his future children come out with a little tiny wheelchair. I randomly think about that sometimes and I always laugh.
I do the same thing! Any time either of them mentions a baby or having kids I have the visual of shane scootin around with like 4 or 5 tiny little kiddos in tiny little wheelchairs scootin after him in a row like little ducklings and it always makes me smile. Babies in wheelchairs is such a cute fun visual
@@12.56AM oh geez, don't be one of those people that's more sensitive than the guy with the disability. It was Shane himself that came up with the visual
You Guys!--- I found this video to be the MOST informative one you've made. I have absolutely no experience with disability, and you both have taught me so much in only 18 minutes.....thank you!
When my girlfriend and I started dating I had a broken pinky toe and for months it kept getting run over because we were learning how to walk and roll together.
You guys are really awesome. I love watching your videos. I suffer anxiety and depression and when I am having a bad day, your videos are sometimes the only thing that cheers me up. You are so positive, cheerful and funny. Keep posting!
Whenever Hannah leans in to Shane as she laughs, I can just feel the love and affection. I don't know why but when I see that little gesture it really strengthens my confidence in their relationship. It also brings a little joy to my small dead heart, which is obviously the most important thing. =P
Exactly, when I got a stick people were so upset for me, but I was actually relieved as it meant I could be more independent. The alternative would be, you know, bed. Where I had just been.
Being in a wheelchair myself and requiring care, I do believe my husband should receive praise - especially from myself. I think it’s important to acknowledge how wonderful it is for my husband to go to work all day and the come home to care for me. I think it’s unfair to not give him the praise he deserves. Not everyone is willing or able to handle the extra responsibility and when done in the appropriate context I think praising someone is deserved.
Big props to your husband then! You’re right, the responsibility isn’t for everyone but I bet he’s lucky to have you by his side regardless of wheelchair :>
I'm getting the StoryWorth for my Mom. My Mom is also disabled and last year, due to her weak immune system, she has pneumonia which led to sepsis. On Mother's Day she slipped into a coma for 14 days, spent 6 weeks in the hospital and another month in rehab. Since then, the damage done to her body, has left her hospitalized 8 months out of the last year. I can't imagine a world without her and this is something I know she'd enjoy and it leaves an extra little something for my brother and I. Plus I'm making her a charm bracelet from scratch; all charms are handmade from clay. We always celebrate the beauty and hero that is my Mom but this year has pushed me to the brink and I just want her to know how loved she truly is; although I know she already knows.
When I watch you guys I actually forget all about Shawn’s disability I literally don’t see the wheelchair I focus on faces during the interactions and on the quirky dialogue and the shared LOVE and RESPECT that’s so obvious!
I genuinely love this channel, been helping me with my anxiety by calming me down with your wholesomeness and the great humor you guys have. Keep up the amazing work and never let people get under your skin with their ignorance.
Your relationship makes me Want to believe in the World again. i’ve never seen anything like this. You 2 are perfect for each other! I wish you the Best life❤️
Oh, pleeeezzzzzeeee......you two appear to be still “dating” whilst engaged, and from your obvious chemistry I have high hopes you will “date” perpetually. The best to you and yours.
Shane you lucky bastard, you better hold on to her till the end buddy, shes a gem that glows eternity, I'm totaly jealous, but it's ur love and compassion that inspires me to care and nothing else matters blessed to you both much luv💖💕🤗🙏😇
I think the person who made comment not to have kids, should be the one to NOT have kids! If they do, I feel sad for the children to be brought up in ignorance!
I love you two. I can see how much you love each other and that is so inspiring. Shane, I think you will be an excellent Dad. From what I've seen, you have all of the characteristics of a stellar father. Hannah, I think you will be an excellent mother as well. Both of you are so full of love and that's what children need more than anything.
I love your videos! I recommend them to my friends and family. I am a caregiver. I have worked with my client for almost 6 years, she’s family! That’s my girl ☺️ even for me in a working position I don’t see me doing her daily routine a “chore” its a necessity! We have a blast with it. I call shower time, “club (her name)” 😂 I turn on her light up radio, color lights & sing and dance around💕 we have so much fun together everyday! I take her out on girls days all the time. I love taking her out, being apart of the world. It’s not only important for her, but for the community around us to see and to interact with people from all walks of life. Thank you for spreading the word on so many different topics in the community. And showing how it’s possible to be in a happy loving relationship ❤️
“it is so amazing that you brought him out today” I can imagine your faces🤣 I’m glad you guys can laugh at this, it made me giggle too. I pictured it in my head.
My partner has cerebral palsy and uses a chair and i relate to Every. Single. Thing. You said!! Thanks for giving voice to couples like ours! (I'm also from Bethlehem PA coincidentally lol...) Yall are awesome!
to be fair, he IS literally strapped in to his chair lmao. I, personally, do not mind using confining language when talking about my wheelchair, but maybe that's because I've been told multiple times by strangers and doctors alike that I "clearly don't need a chair" and that I need to "just get up and run" 🙄 while my end goal is definitely not getting out of the chair, but being healthy and in as little pain as possible, I'd rather not give people an opportunity to question the validity of my disability 😅
My mom takes care of a friends son who has cerebral palsy. My older sister had it but sadly she passed away before I was born so I never got to meet her. My mom used to take me to work with her if I didn’t have school, and I learned SO much from her doing her job. I’m so thankful I was able to learn from her and watch her throughout the years.
Sent by SBSK! DUDE! You guys are absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing, as far as the haters, screw them! You guys keep doing you and making others smile and have more faith in humanity these days! Ive just watched SBSK's doc about Ruby! What an awesome kid! You all have brought a smile to my face. Which is very very rare as I suffer from severe PTSD, depression and debilitating pain. So thank you very much. Sending love and positive vibes your way!
I myself have a disability and I need a wheelchair. Being in quarantine means that I can't go out and face my fears of social anxiety. Because of your videos and this one, I am hopeful that I will find a significant other soon and get over my anxiety. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
I’m so in love with how great you guys are. Your love for each other and the obvious friendship you also share, is so beautiful. It’s so important to not only love but to laugh, and be friends as well. I’m truly happy for you guys. Thank you for what you are doing to educate people on what real love looks like.
Yup! Such bullshit! There’s disability people in chairs that play ball and can interact w kids he can’t and he needs to get real and stop this mascaraed
broodjebakpao1994 absolutely it’s just will be a matter of time before her patience runs thin , it’s the same for every human . No matter what the situation is the beginning is new and different and then no matter what it ALWAYS GETS OLD AND PATIENCE WEARS THIN AND THINNER! She’s obviously in it for a easy ride in life , think about it. She does not have to report to a boss or sit in an office day in day out. The problem I have is there’s no way these people can have a intimate relationship and a caregiving one together they need to get real and stop the bullshit
Robert Justin absolutely and then they try to justify and make these videos to prove it. They are both in it to feed off gullible people that give donations and purchase his books this platform is to grow sales there’s no way she’s having sex w him. Her name is not even on the house they just bought
broodjebakpao1994 Marriage not yet they are engaged well fake engagement. Funny every photo and all of hannah past years never ever seen a picture of her w a guy she only seems to be pictures of her and girls. For them to continue to show everyone that this relationship is true just keeps showing how fake it is. Shane tried this same exact thing w another girl named Anna and that only lasted a few months same story same everything
It blows me away that folks are confused by the caregiving aspect of your relationship. In any relationship there is quite a lot of caregiving. Don’t they ever cook their partner dinner, help with their laundry, run their errands, help with chores? I love caring for the people in my life by cooking for them or doing little things around the house to make their life easier or more enjoyable. “Acts of Service” is even one of the love languages. In my opinion, caregiving is a part of any loving relationship, romantic or otherwise. I think the intimacy and tenderness it takes to help fulfill another persons needs is beautiful. Feeling seen and cared for is underrated.
I’ve been watching you guys for a few months now. I think it’s amazing that you guys have found your forever person in each other and use your time to educate others on interabled relationships. It’s sad that people lower the tone with there uneducated comments rather than seeing the good in highlighting what life is really like for an interabled couple! Wishing you the happiest of lives together and can’t wait for you to share your love with your beautiful children to come! ❤️💙
So excited that you’re here in Minnesota - and I love your socks! When I first heard you were living here I offered to make you tater tot hot dish and you replied to my comment. Of course you have replied to thousands of comments...lol Anyway I’d still love to make it for you sometime - you know - when it might not kill us all to be in public. I bet you’re missing Fudruckers too - such delicious burgers with gooey dripping cheese sauce. Mmmm. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us - and hi 👋🏻 to Chloe!
Hannah, Shane: Just wanted to say I saw a post on reddit (HumansBeingBros) ... I too "assumed" that Hannah was the care taker, and I was humbled when the video said "I am his fiancee". Made me realize that I was assuming, and sorry for that! You folks are inspiring and have taught me a lesson. So thank you. When I watched that clip and Shane talked about the hateful comments you have received I wanted to comment and say a sincere Thank You to both of you. Thank you for being strong. thank you for educating me (and others for sure). Thank you for being so open and helping people expand their horizons. Love is better than hate. I wish you both all the best in your life together.
@@littledreamboat Ahaha you're so right - I totally forgot he has legs XD I only think of myself as having legs when I am standing up... in my wheelchair = legless.
I just love Y'all's banter and humor💗 I've spent a lot of time in my life and career around the "disability" community, and it's just awesome to see Y'all advocate for and normalizing different ability levels. Blessings 🥰
“How nice of you to bring him out today.” 😂😂 OMG. I would be laughing so hard if I watched someone say that to you. That’s hilarious. How ridiculous. Hahaha
i first found shane on tumblr when i was young and i really enjoyed his content. after a while, i stopped using tumblr and sort of forgot about "Laughing at my Nightmare" (sorry shane 😂) BUT a few weeks ago, CZcams recommended a video and i am just so grateful. you guys are spreading so much awareness and education and you guys do an amazing job of spreading laughs as well!!
I just stumbled upon y'all's channel and I'm so happy I did! Y'all are the cutest couple and this video brought me a lot of joy. Thanks for the smiles and laughs, and for teaching me a lot about interabled relationships. Subscribing for sure! 😊
Elizabeth anyone with a basic understanding in human psychology as well as body language can see through this image. You lack social skills and I can tell.
@@Huntermaro You know, for someone trying to represent themself as the pinnacle of rationality and trying to "expose" this "scam", you are terrible at presenting a convincing argument with evidence that isn't just your personal opinion about disabled people. Please return to incel reddit where you belong.
Gosh I would love to have an online chat session with them! I learn so much with each video they upload. Maybe consider organizing online q&a sessions online as a way to raise fund for the new covid campaign of yours? x
As a chronically ill/disabled woman, I really hope to find a partner as smart and loving as Hannah. Most abled people ignore you as soon as you “look disabled”, but shockingly I would still like a relationship in my life!
My late husband was a Marine Corps Scout/Sniper. He wound up in a wheelchair at the end of his life. I.was his caregiver at the end, but I was there because I loved him for his mind, his heart, his sense of humor, and didn't think that his worth was defined by the use of his legs. I was, and still am, proud to have been his wife. I always thought I was the lucky one.
How did he die
Thinking of you today. I hope you have a great day full of all of the awesome memories of your husband while he was here.
@@95lamp adter a nasty fall, hit his head and was gone in 2 minutes.
I’m so so sorry for your loss I don’t know how long ago it was but I’m going to pray for you Leslie
Thank you for your husbands service and yours are well as his wife. You are my hero girl may he rest easy and you be blessed by your tremndouse sacrifice and healed from the loss of a true american hero! He watches over you now I'm sure. Thank you for all you both have for our freedom.
Shane, you should do 10 things you learned from dating a non-disabled person. That would be a very interesting perspective!
MintChocolate oooo I love that idea
What a good idea!!!!
He hasn’t always been disabled though, right? So he’s lived both ways, what would he learn from her? (Not meaning that snarky)
Jasmine Leopard he was born with his disease he’s always been disabled
Jasmine Leopard nope, he’s always been this way ♥️
I grew up without a father.
I would have been delighted to have Shane as a dad! He's got all the dad jokes down already haha. You guys are gonna have a beautiful family ♡
You know what I really really love about these 2? The fact that you can see how secure Shane is and that he truly knows that Hannah doesnt look at him as a "chore" or a burden. I love it so much
It breaks my heart that people say you wouldnt be a good father. Watching just one video shows how amazing both of you will be and how lucky your kids will be. They will be the most caring, educated, inappropriately funny little humans.
100%
Who dare to say he would not be a good father?
I agree. Disabilities don’t make you a bad father. Only concern is passing on your disease to a child.
I absolutely agree. What Shane won’t be able to do physically he will more than adequately make up for by being loving, fun, educational and kind to his kids. Kids have their own little legs so they can always hop up on dad and give him a hug whenever they want.
no name = no imagination
I'm not tryna attack people, but the ironic thing is that Shane is probably gonna be a way better parent than all the people who comment saying that he's unfit to have kids. I'm really not just saying that either, Shane (and Hannah) is going to be an amazing parent and their kids are going to be so lucky to grow up in such a warm environment. Genuinely, you guys are going to be top tier parents.
@Kusko Camp A totally unnecessary and STUPID comment.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Their kids will be so lucky to have Shane for a Dad and Hannah for a Mum.
Kusko Camp i still don’t understand why people like you think disabled people are just rolling in money.
Kusko Camp imagine thinking you did something when you only proved you dont have learning retention skills lmaoooooo you didnt watch the video did you
@@lonestarhog7407 I totally agree with you
I never thought I had any preconceived notions about someone in a wheelchair until I bought my first house in my early 30's. We wanted to tear down the awful suspended ceiling in the kitchen, and a friend of my husband offered to help. (He's been a paraplegic for over 30 years) I was wondering how he was going to help, but when he showed up at our house, he came equipped with a pole and "grabby" thing he MacGyvered together and had no problem. I was so narrow-minded that I didn't realize how resourceful and resilient people can people when faced with an obstacle. He also went on the ride my horse in the next few weeks. He totally changed my perspective and he doesn't even know it, I was too ashamed to tell him. Thank you both for reaching out and teaching people (like me) who may not even know that they have these preconceived ideas how wrong we can be.
On the "wheel chairs ate awesome note" my grandmother was a disability rights activist and her main tool was her chair. Its heavy, and bulky, and it made her and her group hard to arrest. She literally would lay down in front of busses and its was a whole ordeal to remove her and her chair. She was fighting for disability access on public transit.
Woah that’s awesome
What was her name?
Not only is that dangerous... but its also illegal, regardless of her being right in what she was trying to do! Tell grandma to chill
Like a turtle out of its shell?
@@xiholliday I think the operative word is, "was". Her grandmother WAS a wheelchair activist, WAS being past tense, so she isn't one, anymore.
I am in a wheelchair due to a disability and 25 years ago when I became pregnant with my son people were asking how I got pregnant. I told them if they didn't know how then I suggested they went back you school to study the birds and the bees lol
😂
Nice
"well, you see, when a man loves a woman...."
I love that comment! It serves them right... while you may be happy to answer questions, your sex life and “how” you got pregnant is so far out of bounds, I would be angry! What gives someone the right to know That? A good friend is one thing, but a nosy person is entirely something different. 👍🏻
Good answer!!!! 💕
Thank you for this video! I am a teenage girl in a wheelchair and hope I find a guy as understanding and caring as Hannah one day! Please stay safe and healthy! 💜
You will good luck 💕
Don't settle! Go for the best.
I’m in an Interabled marriage, I’m disabled. We’ve been together 10 years and have an 8 year old daughter 💗💗
Shane and Hannah, I've just found these videos and as a disabled man I just want to say t hank you. Thank you for shining a light on the struggles that we face in a daily basis. Thank you for also showing people that just because someone might use a wheelchair, it doesn't mean we can't have a productive and normal life just like anyone else. Good luck in your upcoming marriage and In hope you have many happy years together.
Yes, I am a guy with a disability too. These two are awesome! How did you find them?
My cousin had polio and was in a wheelchair from 4 yrs old. Married and had 2 children. Fully capable! She also had full time job! She was treasure!
I had to read this three times because I kept reading that your 4 year old cousin was married with two kids.
She slept in it?
,
I don't mean to be terribly rude, but I'm pretty sure Hannah's just jealous of Shane's socks.. so I think someone should send her a pair as well.
I think I might do this... Dorito socks, maybe? 🤣
I gotta admit you had me in the first half 😂
Why you gotta come to this channel if you're just here to hate on Hannah? 😂🤣
I think this is why
Me too...I need a pair too.
As a kid of a wheelchair dad, yall will be great!
I love watching this when I'm going through my PTSD episodes, it's a great distraction and it makes me smile and laugh when I just wanna scream and cry
Bless your heart
You're amazing for finding coping mechanisms for PTSD! Thanks for the tip I'm gonna try it :)
You're a survivor and warrior!!
30 years ago when I was in hs, I showed up on the first day of school expecting to have the same Science teacher that my older brother had 2 years earlier. Instead, a very young, fresh-faced, long-term substitute entered the room and explained that the teacher we all had been expecting had sustained a major spinal injury over the summer (from falling off a balcony and breaking her back). “She has lost the use of her legs, is in rehabilitation, and is currently learning how to be mobile in a wheelchair. She *hopes* to return to the classroom - at least part time - 2nd semester.” After the shock wore off, our class began churning through Science with our new sub (who turned out to be a great teacher, btw, and *still* teaches at my old hs!). At semester, our original teacher *did* return to the classroom (part-time) and mine was one of the fortunate classes to have her as a teacher. The tables and chairs were reconfigured a bit to allow for her wheelchair. She spent much of that first day answering any & all questions .... She told us all sorts of things that we might have been to timid to ask, about her accident, her heath, her chair, her recovery, and so on. Open & honest, full of humor and wit. She demanded respect, not pity. She may have physically sat lower, but was still the “tall” authority. After a few weeks of regular Science curriculum, it occurred to me one day as she visited each of our tables to see how we were progressing on our group projects: her wheelchair and her disability had suddenly become a complete *nonissue* for us. Some kids at school who weren’t in any of her classes still stared sometimes; it was obvious they hadn’t had the same opportunity to feel comfortable. TO THIS DAY I’m *so thankful* that I had her as a teacher. I feel lucky to have been in one of her first classes back. From that semester, and for many years after, she taught her students much more than just Science.
Erin Stroebel assume story !! What was her name ? Is she still live? This kind of learning doesn’t happen anymore!! Much less learning anything of value!!
Sounds like an amazing teacher! We need more like her in our world.
I'm a wheelchair user and a middle school teacher. Your comment made me smile... Thanks for the boost! It's needed during this crazy time. :)
I know exactly what you mean, I have a friend with severe CP who uses a wheelchair and has a service dog. She is the first person I've known who has either. At first it was uncomfortable and awkward (for me), but it's amazing how quickly she just became "Emily" and it was no big deal.
Mario needs to meet her.
Hey, Hannah and Shane, I just want you guys to know that you guys helped me pass nursing school. I have PTSD and anxiety on account of being in an abusive relationship and having a history of childhood abuse under my belt. Your videos kept me sane as I studied for my last final, I passed only a week ago, but it feels like forever. You have no idea what your channel means to people, and I mean that in the best way possible. I can only speak for myself, but I watch your channel because I want what you guys have. However, I have taken this time to focus on myself and to unlearn all the unhealthy habits, to mature from codependent to interdependent, and to become the person I was always meant to be. For myself. And then, and only then, can I find a relatioship as happy and flourishing as yours. Thank you for listening, and I wish you all the best. Stay safe! ❤️
I‘m so happy for you that you are learning healthy ways to process your trauma & I wish you the very best that when you feel ready, you find someone who you can have that special connection with :)
Congratulations Nathaniel! This channel have helped me in so many ways as well 😄. Their positivity and charisma if definitely contagious!
I too have PTSD n anxiety as well as severe depression. I also am disabled with physical issues constant pain. I love binge watching them to help with my emotions. They are so positive n funny but yet so helpful teaching others about different diabilities n interabled relationships. I just love their love n I hope I can find it one day.
In Sweden we have changed from “Wheelchair bound” to less discriminating “Wheelchair carried” (roughly translated!) 🌻☀️
That's very interesting. I love that you shared that, something to think about.
Sounds similar to bed-ridden!
That’s mimimi
MandiMimmi Jag är svensk och hade ingen aning hahah
How do you say it in Swedish? I'm from Norway and I'm curious, lol 😅
hannah is beauty and brains! She has the looks to become a model, actress, and beauty queen. More importantly she has a good heart.
She's just in it for The bag!
@@elpitoloko5944 yeah bc shane has soo much money 🤣
Agree. ❤️
I replied to the wrong viewpoint sorry.
Shane and Hanna are genuine. ❤️
She has brains and thus she could be a model, actress, or beauty queen ? Since when do those “occupations” require brains ? Not that smart women can’t do those things, but…
It’s weird that people are so obsessed with how other people have sex......like wtf who asks that.
EDIT: Lol wowzy wowza I did not mean to start anything y’all. I didn’t even read all the comments. I just SIMPLY agreed with Shane and Hannah that if you are curious- Google it. Don’t ask people about their personal business. That’s literally all I meant by it.
People who are curious. It's perfectly normal to be curious about things like that.
Tanith Jackson why tho? Like unless their pleasure is your business, it’s not your business.
Clearly neither of them are open or comfortable about being sexual or taking sex online, which is fine.
There are other sites on the internet with people who are clearly comfortable with being sexual or talking sex online, which is also fine. If your so curious about how other people have sex, you can access those.
HannahTheHorrible calm down, horrible. Some people are curious because they want to know if they themselves are willing to date someone who is disabled. 🤷🏼♀️ not everyone wants to and these questions matter. They can help change minds and open up minds. So hush.
theoboegoddess as a transgender man who has been consistently tormented by “curios people” I can tell you that you are wrong and the way that two people have sex with each other is a very personal and private thing, and it’s straight up fucking rude to ask somebody that unless you plan to have sex with them. All you’re saying here is “I am ignorant because my ideas about sex have been shaped by society instead of experience and it is your job to educate me”
I would never ask but I'm am curious AF, it's human nature to wonder,sex is not dirty amongst consenting adults so it's not perverted to be curious and like I said if I wonder,I go to porn hub and I'll definitely fulfill my curiosity as there's everything there🤦🏽♀️ without making people uncomfortable.
Sorry, Hannah, but the socks are soooo him. Plus alerts strangers that he’s a nut. 😎
that is soooo true
Yup. It really is true. Sad... but true!
Agree!
The socks can be wore always
I think Hannah might want her own food sox.
I just love what Shane does with his eyebrows when he laughs. He is a good looking man. One can be 100% healthy and still be miserable and not happy. A healthy body does not make you a happy person. I can see why she loves him.
I absolutely love that about him. 😊 it's charming.
I totally agree and not going to lie over the last couple weeks of following them i really see how wonderful shane is and how lucky they both are to have each other. I love shane and hannah and if i could find love like this it would be everything to me.
Its kind of funny because before i found them on youtube i would see this handsome man whose in a wheelchair at my clinic every now and then and i really like him....maybe someday ill find the courage to see if he has a gf lol
Yeah my boyfriend has DMD and people will be like, "oh you are so special." I feel weird about that. It's like by praising me they lower him, but he doesn't see it that way. He is the best man I've ever known. I feel like it makes more sense for him to be praised for being with me.
My wife gets the same thing as well. We love this couple!
Doesn't it mmake both of you feel like objects? When I had a guide dog and eveyone knew why, they'd come up and tell me what an inspiration I was but if I sat at their table at a banquet, they moved somewhere else and NOT because the dog was in their way. I think people feel safer making statements like these. Some do it to avoid real conversation. Their loss.
@@shelleymagnussen1959 You know I honestly don't think much about what people think or say in regards to us, though it has been all positive for the people that know us. I suppose it is good that people are inspired, even if there reasons for it are a little odd. And because of how society is, I suppose it does take the right person to look at the person rather then the disability. There is allot that people just don't get. People feel weird about disabilities for some reason and tend to either ask only about a person's disability or are to afraid to ask at all. Maybe people will learn eventually.
Love watching this, because my partner and I have a similar relationship to yours. I have Cerebral Palsy and use a wheelchair, my partner is able bodied. So many of your experiences mirror ours, people stand over me and cry. My partner is a saint for “putting up with me” their words. Thanks so much for these vlogs. I love hearing about your experiences, keep these vlogs coming. Love you both so much xxxx
Agree totally! My partner has cp and uses a wheelchair and I'm able bodied. I'm only 'putting up with him' when he's being a butthead... not because he's using a chair lol.
And grabbing him to pray him out of the chair...smh... just stop. also... i am not a saint with a special place in heaven for caring for and loving him.
Im in the wheelchair every now and then i have a Walker and crutches and oxygen here where i live at we have a swimming pool but don't know if we can get into the swimming pool this year cuz of the quarantine
I love you guys. My dad had MS and used a wheelchair for most of my life. He was just as annoying and told just as many embarrassing dad jokes as any non-disabled dad. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and educating the world. Also, the socks rock. 👏👏
U are, super cute
Im not in a wheelchair yet but I have MS and it has definetly taught me a lot. ❤
@@SunshineStrchld I can only imagine! Just having a parent with MS taught me so much. Lots of love to you. ❤️
I agree with everything about this video except for the fact that Hanna “doesn’t deserve praise”. You do a lot of extra work in a day being in a relationship with a disabled person. Not only taking care of him but all the house chores on your own. You can’t deny that and shouldn’t pretend it’s not true.... that being said... it’s just part of the nature of your relationship and it’s a choice you make and it’s nice :)
Agreed! I became a certified nursing assistant a couple of months ago but havent worked as one due to school. However, during my training I shadowed nursing assistants. Any form of a caregiver deserves praise IMO when done for the right reasons. Compassionate caregivers are amazing and of course disabled people deserve basic things like good hygiene, to be clothed, choices, etc. caregivers go out of their way to do this and it is beautiful.
It’s definitely work, however what they’re trying to say is that it’s just a normal day and routine for them instead of a chore that you have to do. But I’m sure Shane does appreciate her and have thanked her for caring for him, while for her she’s like, for what? Lol
I agree that it's more work, physically, but it's not appropriate for *strangers* to be giving that praise. I feel that's reserved for Shane.
I'm not physically disabled, but there are some things I can't always do for myself and my wife takes care of them. It's more work for her, but she does it because she loves me.
That said, I'd feel utterly humiliated and upset if some rando told her she's "so strong" and "should be praised" for all she does for me. That's an internal part of our relationship, It's Literally behind closed doors (of our house). I WISH she didn't have to do those things, and for someone to praise her for doing them would feel like a thinly veiled put-down towards me "oh you're so virtuous to care for a useless wretch like Canada".
However, people wouldn't say that to her because it's not obvious. Just because people on the street can guess that Hannah does a lot for Shane, doesn't mean it's not incredibly rude to say.
But it doesn't deserve praise. She's doing it because she wants to. Would you praise someone simply because they helped out their disabled spouse or family member/friend? It's the same concept.
there's a difference between praise from a spouse and praise from a stranger. one feels like a meaningful expression of gratitude, the other feels patronizing and insulting, esp to those of us with a disability who have to be constantly reminded we will always be dependent on someone. of course my spouse cares for me, do you not care for your loved ones when they're sick or unwell? it's the same thing
Im a recent 22 year old, c5 sci, & I’ve been so down on myself lately. You guys have really opened my mind & made me laugh! Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Just remember it’s a bad day not a bad life. You’re still young, don’t be down
Do you follow Roll with Cole & Charisma on CZcams? He has a similar injury to you. Amazing couple n channel as well.
Hey, glad to hear you found support in these videos. I was born legally blind. When I turned 20, I went through a real struggle. I cried a lot. I cried all through the service at church. I didn't know why I was crying. I realized I was extrordinarily frustrated. It finally came to me that now being thousands of miles from my parents, I was finally doing what I should have done years earlier, mourning my disability. It wasn't self pity. A lot of things were going right. I landed a good job with assistance from no one other than someone filling out the application for me. It came and went in seasons for about a year. I didn't fight it. I embraced it. I fell down in one of those belts of bark dust in a restaurant parking lot. My friend, instead of rescuing me from myself, flopped down there beside me, asking if I was praying and could he join me. Something happened. Fir the first time in my life, I felt like an equal. It was alright to trip over something and fall, long as I didn't end up in the ER. I discovered I took myself too seriously and let others define me. I decided there in the mud that if I was going to live with this vision impairment, I might as well enjoy it. I still have grieving times on occasion, but they don't last long. It gets better. The very best thing I can do is go do something for someone else. It's energizing!
Hanna isn’t sacrificing her life at all she loves Shane and taking care of Shane is just part of there relationship ! I am so excited for there future together
Nicole Praus Wtf, I read your comments 5 times trying to remember when I wrote that, and than I read your name
Nicole Praus AMEN!
@Evgeny Knorr we will never know that for sure.
@Evgeny Knorr Not sure what your problem is but out of the many many videos I've watched of these two, is undeniable to me how much they love each other. Anyway if they can a few bucks on the side with CZcams because of their brilliant personalities I don't see the problem.
This Evengy Knorr person seems to be stirring up every thread with ridiculous comments (I haven't actually read any, just replies to her...) then deleting them. Clearly just a pathetic troll. Sad...
I hate the term wheelchair-bound. My wheelchair has given me freedom.
Colleen Gibson I hate it as well!! With a passion!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Mario disagrees
Did you really have the need to say Mario disagrees. Who cares.
Colleen Gibson I didn’t need to but I wanted to so I did. There seems a lot of conspiracy theorists on here masking as ableist tits. Or it might be the other way around!
What ever, moving on from you.
One of the stupidest things anyone could say is don't have kids - Shane's gonna be an awesome dad and I'm sure your kids will love and adore him and always respect him and look up to him
I really like his confidence despite being disabled. I can see why someone as beautiful as Hannah fell in love with him. I see no hint of insecurity in him. Shane you are a real man. And Hannah you are the perfect ideal of a woman.
"Someone as beautiful as Hannah"???
Beautiful can be more than looks

@@gingercowgirl5358 theyre saying that because both Hannah and Shane have said before how rude people will comment crap like how does he get a girl like that or she’s way too good looking for him etc. so they’re saying they can see why someone so pretty would fall for him because of his character and personality and completely forget about his disability.
Love this. I worked in a disability services office for years and it amazed me how many people use the term “wheelchair bound” or “confined to a wheelchair”... it makes me cringe! I tried to educate people as much as I could. A wheelchair is a wonderful, amazing tool for people who may have mobility differences. It can open up someone’s world and give them freedom!
KatieLu Weeman my wheelchair is my lifeline!! I’m certainly not “bound” to it! Like you said... it’s MY FREEDOM!!!
When Shane said "I have a backpack," the first thing I thought was that you could fill it with ice cream sandwiches.
#6, yes! I was once out for coffee with someone with a disability, and someone came up to me thanking me for “the work” I do... I felt so embarrassed... just trying to have coffee 😐
I'm desabileyty
Crazy how rude people are and they are so oblivious to it 🤦♀️
Yeah working as a disability support worker I have received tones of thankful comments for just doing my job… like I don’t deserve a medal for getting paid to have coffee and hang out with great company I throughly enjoy.
Likewise I feel like they judge just as quickly if they see me slightly unengaged on my phone while with the person I’m supporting, giving them independence and not constantly being in there face on a 12hour shift, with someone who has 24 hour 24/7 support; like they are just trying to live there life and have downtime too.
I love the chemistry between the two of you; the positivity is infectious, and the laughter heals. ♥️ Thanks for being awesome!
The socks are perfect. Wear them anytime!
Even to funerals!
My husband would like those socks. He loves Cheez it's.
And always with shorts!
THOSE SOCKS ARE EVERYTHIIIIING!!! what life is worth living for, the world NEEDS to see Shane in his fancy, sassy cheese-it socks!! :D wave, Shane, wave with your cheesy feet!!!!
Yes you said it perfectly! You need to get you a lady that supports the coolest socks being shared with the world ! 😉
Oh I totally relate to this!! When I first met my now husband, he was already diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. So many people kept saying to me “Are you sure you want to give up your life to be a caretaker?”🙄 I didn’t “give up” my life. I have a career and hobbies and my husband and I do so many fun things together just like any other couple. It is insane how many people think inter-able relationships equal sacrifice or that it makes us (the able bodied person) special or some kind of saint. I’m lucky he puts up with ME every day!
My father is also disabled, he has just one leg. After my parents split up and my mum eventually got into a new relationship, I was totally confused why the new man had two legs 😆
Aww... lol
Love the socks, you guys being together all boils down to one thing, you both love and respect each other and that is quite obvious by the way you look at each other, stay happy and safe
People are jealous of what Shane and Hannah have!
I agree with the thing about people saying they couldn't do something other's do. For example I've helped care my dad through cancer and was told this by people. I appreciate the sentiment but really there's no choice. If your given a situation you cant really just decide not to deal with it. If a family member is ill or disable you just get on with it and support each other. So when people say they couldn't do it really they would if in the situation as you can't really not do it. Sorry for the rant, hope this makes sense
This is so true!!
Love the socks Shane!!!!!!
Emily, this is so true. I have Multiple Sclerosis, in a wheelchair, live by myself, and work full time. I hear it all the time! Even my last physical therapist was adamant she couldn’t when I told her the exact same thing. I don’t know if it’s because of my independence but I always tell people if they’re faced with it they’d be able to do it!
I’ve got a deadbeat dad. I wish I had a loving father in a wheelchair.
I'm rich and I will be the father
I can be your daddy
Sickos go away
I have an abusive dad (fortunately I left a year ago)
I wish I had someone like Shane as a father
I'll be your loving dad in a wheelchair. Come sit on my lap. lol
There's lots of able bodied dead beat parents. You two would be amazing parents and your children will be so blessed💗
Agreed!
Amen! We are disabled and are grea parents!
I can second that! They’re such amazing people in general
As the wife and caregiver myself, I love you guys and your candid responses. I especially appreciate your response to the sex question. I understand your desire to keep the specifics private, but I also commend you for addressing some of the misconceptions people have regarding disability and sex. Also, you guys are too funny ❤❤
We need little Shane-Hanna (Shanna) babies with baby cheese it socks some day!!!
amandamusic80, I like that name idea! Sounds very pretty for a little girl. 🥰
Shane coming in for the edit part 😂😂😂 you two are such a special beautiful gift to this world . Love you both
I came across a video “day in the life “ on Facebook and just wanted to express my sadness that people are cruel to you guys and also thankful you are willing to put your life out there to help educate people about disabilities. I am severely dyslexic and both of my siblings are on the autism spectrum. I can’t count how many times I’ve asked someone I’m dating or a friend for help reading or writing and the reaction often isn’t one of compassion and understanding. I’m happy you guys found someone who can understand and love you for you. What People don’t realize is we don’t have to be ashamed of our “disabilities” because no one is perfect so we really aren’t different. The biggest difference is we can’t hide from our struggles and therefore we make peace with them and find happiness sooner than most. ❤️
I love the way Hannah looks towards Shane frequently because it’s obvious she has so much confidence in him as her partner and friend. Wheelchair, disability, whatever - Shane teaches people how to respect him by his intelligence, wit, and confidence in the purpose behind the life he’s been given and, though Hannah does his care, you can tell he’s the one to gently and assuredly lead their relationship. It’s truly amazing to see and I’m thankful for such a beautiful example of an interabled couple that are way healthier than most able-bodied couples I know. Amazing examples to all of us with your love and respect for one another!
@@robertjustin9638 bullshit
Speaking of Shane being a parent some day, the funniest thing i've ever seen Shane say in a video is that he hopes his future children come out with a little tiny wheelchair. I randomly think about that sometimes and I always laugh.
I do the same thing! Any time either of them mentions a baby or having kids I have the visual of shane scootin around with like 4 or 5 tiny little kiddos in tiny little wheelchairs scootin after him in a row like little ducklings and it always makes me smile. Babies in wheelchairs is such a cute fun visual
Haha me too! Shane and the little wheelchairs following him like a mama duck and her ducklings🤣🤣
these comments lmao, lets not romanticise disability... no one deserves to be born like that
@@12.56AM oh geez, don't be one of those people that's more sensitive than the guy with the disability. It was Shane himself that came up with the visual
12.56AM oh blimey you are a wet flannel! Disability has its perks too you know.
You Guys!--- I found this video to be the MOST informative one you've made. I have absolutely no experience with disability, and you both have taught me so much in only 18 minutes.....thank you!
When my girlfriend and I started dating I had a broken pinky toe and for months it kept getting run over because we were learning how to walk and roll together.
Oof, that sounds like it hurts.
You guys are really awesome. I love watching your videos. I suffer anxiety and depression and when I am having a bad day, your videos are sometimes the only thing that cheers me up. You are so positive, cheerful and funny. Keep posting!
Honestly, Shane would be a great dad!
Whenever Hannah leans in to Shane as she laughs, I can just feel the love and affection. I don't know why but when I see that little gesture it really strengthens my confidence in their relationship. It also brings a little joy to my small dead heart, which is obviously the most important thing. =P
my wheelchair is my lifeline!! I’m certainly not “bound” to it! it’s MY FREEDOM!!! 💗💗💗💗👩🏻🦽👩🏻🦼
Exactly, when I got a stick people were so upset for me, but I was actually relieved as it meant I could be more independent. The alternative would be, you know, bed. Where I had just been.
I think you need a full cheez-it outfit
agreed
Don't tempt him LOL!
omg could you just see him in a newsboy cap??
Like Ladbaby and his sausage roll onesie! 😋
I would love to see a full snack ensemble. Oreo shirt, maybe Ruffles potato chip shorts. A shout out to what I getting me through quarantine-SNACKS!
My son (Jacob) liked your socks. He is also in an interabled, long distance relationship. Jacob's girlfriend has SMA also and she lives in California.
Being in a wheelchair myself and requiring care, I do believe my husband should receive praise - especially from myself. I think it’s important to acknowledge how wonderful it is for my husband to go to work all day and the come home to care for me. I think it’s unfair to not give him the praise he deserves. Not everyone is willing or able to handle the extra responsibility and when done in the appropriate context I think praising someone is deserved.
Big props to your husband then! You’re right, the responsibility isn’t for everyone but I bet he’s lucky to have you by his side regardless of wheelchair :>
I'm getting the StoryWorth for my Mom. My Mom is also disabled and last year, due to her weak immune system, she has pneumonia which led to sepsis. On Mother's Day she slipped into a coma for 14 days, spent 6 weeks in the hospital and another month in rehab. Since then, the damage done to her body, has left her hospitalized 8 months out of the last year. I can't imagine a world without her and this is something I know she'd enjoy and it leaves an extra little something for my brother and I. Plus I'm making her a charm bracelet from scratch; all charms are handmade from clay. We always celebrate the beauty and hero that is my Mom but this year has pushed me to the brink and I just want her to know how loved she truly is; although I know she already knows.
When I watch you guys I actually forget all about Shawn’s disability I literally don’t see the wheelchair I focus on faces during the interactions and on the quirky dialogue and the shared LOVE and RESPECT that’s so obvious!
Keep wearing them Shane if it makes YOU happy. I wear crazy socks every day. ❤️
My doctor does too!
I wear penis socks!
All I ever wear is black, but I ALWAYS have some crazy socks on
My favorites are Lama-Socks right now 🦙
I genuinely love this channel, been helping me with my anxiety by calming me down with your wholesomeness and the great humor you guys have. Keep up the amazing work and never let people get under your skin with their ignorance.
Your relationship makes me Want to believe in the World again. i’ve never seen anything like this. You 2 are perfect for each other! I wish you the Best life❤️
Oh, pleeeezzzzzeeee......you two appear to be still “dating” whilst engaged, and from your obvious chemistry I have high hopes you will “date” perpetually. The best to you and yours.
Shane you lucky bastard, you better hold on to her till the end buddy, shes a gem that glows eternity, I'm totaly jealous, but it's ur love and compassion that inspires me to care and nothing else matters blessed to you both much luv💖💕🤗🙏😇
I think the person who made comment not to have kids, should be the one to NOT have kids! If they do, I feel sad for the children to be brought up in ignorance!
I agree!!!!!!
Me i agree with you
I love you two. I can see how much you love each other and that is so inspiring. Shane, I think you will be an excellent Dad. From what I've seen, you have all of the characteristics of a stellar father. Hannah, I think you will be an excellent mother as well. Both of you are so full of love and that's what children need more than anything.
I like how u both complete each others sentences
You both are funny, wonderful, caring, pretty, handsome, (is that enough praise for you both!? ). LOL thanks for always putting a smile on my face!
They are perfect for Shane he has so much fun with life let him wear them all around the world whenever you can travel again.
I love your videos! I recommend them to my friends and family. I am a caregiver. I have worked with my client for almost 6 years, she’s family! That’s my girl ☺️ even for me in a working position I don’t see me doing her daily routine a “chore” its a necessity! We have a blast with it. I call shower time, “club (her name)” 😂 I turn on her light up radio, color lights & sing and dance around💕 we have so much fun together everyday! I take her out on girls days all the time. I love taking her out, being apart of the world. It’s not only important for her, but for the community around us to see and to interact with people from all walks of life. Thank you for spreading the word on so many different topics in the community. And showing how it’s possible to be in a happy loving relationship ❤️
“it is so amazing that you brought him out today” I can imagine your faces🤣 I’m glad you guys can laugh at this, it made me giggle too. I pictured it in my head.
My partner has cerebral palsy and uses a chair and i relate to Every. Single. Thing. You said!! Thanks for giving voice to couples like ours! (I'm also from Bethlehem PA coincidentally lol...)
Yall are awesome!
Totally agree with Shane's opinion on the whole "confined to a wheelchair" statement - makes it sound like we are permanently glued to the chair 😅
Steph Dower I’m strapped in with duct tape ;)
to be fair, he IS literally strapped in to his chair lmao. I, personally, do not mind using confining language when talking about my wheelchair, but maybe that's because I've been told multiple times by strangers and doctors alike that I "clearly don't need a chair" and that I need to "just get up and run" 🙄 while my end goal is definitely not getting out of the chair, but being healthy and in as little pain as possible, I'd rather not give people an opportunity to question the validity of my disability 😅
My mom takes care of a friends son who has cerebral palsy. My older sister had it but sadly she passed away before I was born so I never got to meet her. My mom used to take me to work with her if I didn’t have school, and I learned SO much from her doing her job. I’m so thankful I was able to learn from her and watch her throughout the years.
Sent by SBSK! DUDE! You guys are absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing, as far as the haters, screw them! You guys keep doing you and making others smile and have more faith in humanity these days! Ive just watched SBSK's doc about Ruby! What an awesome kid! You all have brought a smile to my face. Which is very very rare as I suffer from severe PTSD, depression and debilitating pain. So thank you very much. Sending love and positive vibes your way!
Big fan of the socks! This made me smile 😊, after I stopped laughing. 🤣
I myself have a disability and I need a wheelchair. Being in quarantine means that I can't go out and face my fears of social anxiety. Because of your videos and this one, I am hopeful that I will find a significant other soon and get over my anxiety. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
I’m so in love with how great you guys are. Your love for each other and the obvious friendship you also share, is so beautiful. It’s so important to not only love but to laugh, and be friends as well. I’m truly happy for you guys. Thank you for what you are doing to educate people on what real love looks like.
Your videos make me so happy and help me through many sleepless nights. Thank you so much!! I love you guys
My fiancé and I are interabled. I have a condition called Elhers Danlos Syndrome and my fiancé is able bodied. Our relationship is great 😍❤️
My sister has Ehlers Danlos as well
@@gailboyce3123 it can be cruel at times. With subluxations, gastric issues etc.
@@FjIrwin ...are you on an Ehlers Danlos site? I would like to connect. I'm trying to get my sister to share some of her experience.
@@gailboyce3123 no unfortunately not. She can add me on Facebook if she wants. She’s not alone in this fight.
Hannah’s look in the beginning when Shane started talking 😂😂
I peeped that 🤣🙄
Yup! Such bullshit! There’s disability people in chairs that play ball and can interact w kids he can’t and he needs to get real and stop this mascaraed
broodjebakpao1994 absolutely it’s just will be a matter of time before her patience runs thin , it’s the same for every human . No matter what the situation is the beginning is new and different and then no matter what it ALWAYS GETS OLD AND PATIENCE WEARS THIN AND THINNER! She’s obviously in it for a easy ride in life , think about it. She does not have to report to a boss or sit in an office day in day out. The problem I have is there’s no way these people can have a intimate relationship and a caregiving one together they need to get real and stop the bullshit
Robert Justin absolutely and then they try to justify and make these videos to prove it. They are both in it to feed off gullible people that give donations and purchase his books this platform is to grow sales there’s no way she’s having sex w him. Her name is not even on the house they just bought
broodjebakpao1994 Marriage not yet they are engaged well fake engagement. Funny every photo and all of hannah past years never ever seen a picture of her w a guy she only seems to be pictures of her and girls. For them to continue to show everyone that this relationship is true just keeps showing how fake it is. Shane tried this same exact thing w another girl named Anna and that only lasted a few months same story same everything
It blows me away that folks are confused by the caregiving aspect of your relationship. In any relationship there is quite a lot of caregiving. Don’t they ever cook their partner dinner, help with their laundry, run their errands, help with chores?
I love caring for the people in my life by cooking for them or doing little things around the house to make their life easier or more enjoyable.
“Acts of Service” is even one of the love languages. In my opinion, caregiving is a part of any loving relationship, romantic or otherwise.
I think the intimacy and tenderness it takes to help fulfill another persons needs is beautiful. Feeling seen and cared for is underrated.
I’ve been watching you guys for a few months now. I think it’s amazing that you guys have found your forever person in each other and use your time to educate others on interabled relationships. It’s sad that people lower the tone with there uneducated comments rather than seeing the good in highlighting what life is really like for an interabled couple! Wishing you the happiest of lives together and can’t wait for you to share your love with your beautiful children to come! ❤️💙
So excited that you’re here in Minnesota - and I love your socks! When I first heard you were living here I offered to make you tater tot hot dish and you replied to my comment. Of course you have replied to thousands of comments...lol Anyway I’d still love to make it for you sometime - you know - when it might not kill us all to be in public. I bet you’re missing Fudruckers too - such delicious burgers with gooey dripping cheese sauce. Mmmm. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us - and hi 👋🏻 to Chloe!
Wear the socks if they make you happy. With all that is going on around us we all need a little HAPPY.
Hannah, Shane: Just wanted to say I saw a post on reddit (HumansBeingBros) ... I too "assumed" that Hannah was the care taker, and I was humbled when the video said "I am his fiancee". Made me realize that I was assuming, and sorry for that! You folks are inspiring and have taught me a lesson. So thank you.
When I watched that clip and Shane talked about the hateful comments you have received I wanted to comment and say a sincere Thank You to both of you. Thank you for being strong. thank you for educating me (and others for sure). Thank you for being so open and helping people expand their horizons. Love is better than hate. I wish you both all the best in your life together.
I don't like when people say caregiving is a chore, when you love someone you just want what is best for them. So I agree with you on that point.
The socks are awesome! I love wearing things that might bring a smile or laugh to random people. Especially during these difficult times.
Shane please do "10 Things I Learned Dating A Girl With Legs"
Poppie Searchfield lol Shane has legs 😂
@@littledreamboat Ahaha you're so right - I totally forgot he has legs XD I only think of myself as having legs when I am standing up... in my wheelchair = legless.
Good idea. Maybe we should try that!
Hanna said “number 7” like she was chills (he’s the Burger King foot lettuce guy) 😂😂
I just love Y'all's banter and humor💗
I've spent a lot of time in my life and career around the "disability" community, and it's just awesome to see Y'all advocate for and normalizing different ability levels. Blessings 🥰
“How nice of you to bring him out today.” 😂😂 OMG. I would be laughing so hard if I watched someone say that to you. That’s hilarious. How ridiculous. Hahaha
Those socks go with everything.
i first found shane on tumblr when i was young and i really enjoyed his content. after a while, i stopped using tumblr and sort of forgot about "Laughing at my Nightmare" (sorry shane 😂) BUT a few weeks ago, CZcams recommended a video and i am just so grateful. you guys are spreading so much awareness and education and you guys do an amazing job of spreading laughs as well!!
I just stumbled upon y'all's channel and I'm so happy I did! Y'all are the cutest couple and this video brought me a lot of joy. Thanks for the smiles and laughs, and for teaching me a lot about interabled relationships. Subscribing for sure! 😊
This relationship is so fake... I gotta expose them. I’m sorry to end this idea of unconditional love that they are falsely spreading.
Elizabeth that’s not it at all. They can be in a relationship. A very rocky one, because that’s just how life works. But this one isn’t at all real.
Elizabeth are You stupid or blind? I think both.
Elizabeth anyone with a basic understanding in human psychology as well as body language can see through this image. You lack social skills and I can tell.
Mario Miceli stop arguing with her. She already said she didn’t want the truth. She’s fine with blissful ignorance. It brings her comfort.
@@Huntermaro You know, for someone trying to represent themself as the pinnacle of rationality and trying to "expose" this "scam", you are terrible at presenting a convincing argument with evidence that isn't just your personal opinion about disabled people. Please return to incel reddit where you belong.
Gosh I would love to have an online chat session with them! I learn so much with each video they upload.
Maybe consider organizing online q&a sessions online as a way to raise fund for the new covid campaign of yours? x
As a chronically ill/disabled woman, I really hope to find a partner as smart and loving as Hannah. Most abled people ignore you as soon as you “look disabled”, but shockingly I would still like a relationship in my life!
Thank you for your stories. I think it's great that you do away with prejudices. Greetings from Germany.
