Mila’s parents are blind, but she can see. The 7-year-old can and must be independent, and sometimes, her parents just have to let go.
Whether they’re crossing the road or doing housework: Mila’s parents had to trust her from a very early age. But, at the same time, they don’t want their child to feel burdened with the responsibility of looking out for the family: Mila should be able to have a normal a childhood as possible. How does that work? Carolina Machhaus met the family.

Imagine falling in love and having faith in each other every day. This family is amazing
My mom was blind for one year. I was grown with a ten year old daughter at the time and it was hard. My mom lived on her own and I did all the doctors appointments etc for her. She had diabetic cataract surgery and was able to see again. I can't imagine being a child and having to grow up so quickly. But her parents are absolutely amazing and I appreciate how they insist on providing her with a wonderful life. Sadly, I lost my mom in October. But I'm grateful for the time I had even that period of blindness.
DW with another excellent documentary. This agency goes above and beyond to help humanize the world.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful family!❤
Beautiful and respectful family. I feel lucky to be able to live without the challenges they face, and will try to handle any hardship with their grace!
It was very irresponsible and selfish of this blind couple to have a child. Although they say that their daughter "is not a domestic help" , the reality is is that she DOES and WILL have to help her parents and DOESN'T and WON'T have a regular carefree childhood that every child deserves to have.
The blind visually impaired was able to find a good guy, while thousands of single women with good eyesight can't find a good guy 😉
So, the next time I am going to complain…
This documentary is just as powerful today as the year it was made.
You both do a wonderful job. You have opened my eyes to what possibilities blind people can avail. Thank you for sharing snippets of your lihe with me and others.
DW with another amazing documentary👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻 about Irons' conscious family ….for having a child & settle family life).. God bless their lives, steps… this video learning others for having strong conscious & morality for capitulation of hard, harsh circumstances … good luck for DW documentary channel
🇻🇳❤️🇩🇪
The beautiful fact the two lovely blind people have a seeing child. I really hope they live a happy fulfilled life. I hope more seeing people give the family the respect they deserve!
Thanks for sharing, what a lovely family!
Wonderful introduction to their lives
Thank you for sharing your journey 💕 in life. Truly a wonderful family. Happy new year to you all xxx
Good documentary, a loving n strong family, respect to these parents for raising their child so nicely
The DW family, what can I say, always shining {thank you in all the languages of the world} your humanity is limitless. A distinguished reportage that is more than elegant and professional. My tears fell, not out of sympathy, but out of respect for this exceptional family. You and this exceptional family have all my love and respect. Jamal is an Iraqi atheist
dont worry 80% of the parrent who can dont use their eyes any way
Both of my grandparents were blind and they raised 3 kids. I grew up admiring my Grandma Black more than any other woman in my life. She had some amazing skills!
DW with excellent documentary))) love it!!!!!!!!!
i cant see myself, but people can see me…..she is amazing person
There are millions of parents who are able to see but cannot give the love that this couple is giving to their child.
I think it's selfish blind people having children, then being a burden on them.
I am moved, thanks a lot.
Love them ❤️
I like the documentary! Thanks for sharing
I think their daughter will be a very responsible adult and will have a better chance at a fulfilling life because she will be more confident and appreciative of the things she has and those that matter!
Touching and inspiring at the same time
Beautiful people. Beautiful family. Thanks DW for the perfect New Year gift.
Gotta love DW ducumentory, good job! and amazing parent.
I LOVE IT
A child trying to parent her own parents, it's cute!!
please add it to the spanishi DW Documental
Wow, what an amazing family ! I believe that there are millions of parents who are not disabled but are unable to provide their children with love like this couple do. Beautiful and respectful family.
What a beautiful family. Quality documentary.
It always tickles me when a person speaks, but it's not the language I expect
What inspiring and strong family. Wishing them all the very best in life.
Could have explained how they play UNO. Is it braile?
I don’t see the problem with parenting blind.
