Photo of the Observer magazine - headline is 'Yes, we're parents' - a very large photo of Lucy and James in their garden takes up almost all of both pages, with a column of print on the right.

Disabled motherhood – a category error? The infantilisation of disabled parents

Text reads: What should you do if your child yells at a disabled person? (You probably already know the answer...)  Lucy & James are outside - Lucy's sitting in her wheelchair and James has a prosthetic leg strapped on over his clothes. We look suspiciously young - the photo is a couple of years old. You can just about see that Lucy is pregnant. A 3 year old Mainie stands between us looking sun-kissed and happy. We're white with brown hair, Mainie's looks blonde. Images 2 to 9 have this same photo as background. And text is on a background of cream torn paper on all images.
