‘A little motherly malicious compliance never hurt anyone': New mom gets back at relentless MIL who keeps waking up the baby during nap time

There are many new routines you have to get used to when you have a new baby in your life. Your sleeping schedule, eating, traveling, working, and, well, everything. A baby is completely helpless and you have to basically do everything for it. So of course that is going to change your life completely. New parents are made aware of this these days and know that they are making a life-altering decision by having a kid. And mothers who were never warned about this and had to figure it out as they…

'Back off and wait for us to be ready': Childfree couple snaps when tenacious parents pressure them to have kids immediately

When you're in your late 20's or your early 30's, if you've been in a semi-stable relationship for more than 5 minutes, nosy relatives start coming out of the woodwork. You've heard the phrase ‘it takes a village’, but never thought it meant the village coming after your ever-fruitful loins, chasing you with baby-mongering pitchforks and flaming fertility torches.

'I'd never let her forget it': Student's family eats their school project

'I'd never let her forget it': Student's family eats their school project

This is the newest version of “My dog ate my homework.” Apparently for one student, their excuse is that their project got eaten by their family! At some point while you were in high school, you probably had to do this assignment for your health class. Students often have to care for a fake baby as if it's a real baby. The fake baby can be an egg, a bag of flour, or, if you live in a wealthy school district, an electronic baby that cries throughout the day at random intervals. The project often…

Every server feels their stomach drop when they see a toddler seated in their section.

'I wish I was joking': Honest confidante rebukes the baby names chosen by her pregnant friend, saving the child from a lifetime of embarrassment

One of the huge downsides of having 8 billion people on the this Earth is that there are only so many 'unique' names to chose from. With 1 out of 25 Americans named 'John', it makes you wonder how many parents feel forced to think of baby names that are out of the box. Well, with the turn of the century, it seems like a lot of people have gotten extremely creative with baby names– and not in a good way.

'Unleash your inner lawsuit': Man gets promptly fired after telling management that his girlfriend is pregnant, capturing the entire lawsuit-worthy Zoom call on video

There are a lot of things in life that are unethical, but not technically illegal. For example, passing gas in an elevator just before getting off at your floor is disgusting, but not actually a crime. Similarly, when people sing so loud at a concert they overpower the sound of the actual band playing (I'm looking at you, Swifties), that's not technically illegal either. However, there are a few instances where illegality and wrongful behavior come together...

'I questioned her moral choice to pick fabric over a baby': Entitled sister makes outrageous threats after sibling would not loan her a wedding dress

Let's set the record straight: we, along with the rest of Reddit, are totally Team OP. Let's get into it. The story starts out with the OP's Karen of a stepsister mortifying her at a family dinner. She drops the bombshell that she's expecting, and then, in an attempt at a toast, she calls out her sister for being "bigger in size and heart." Not cool. And if that wasn't enough, the stepsister then thanks the OP for letting her...

'My coworker named her baby Strawberry Rain': 20+ cringeworthy baby names

We all know someone in our lives who made a questionable choice when naming their child.

And guess who's stuck with that name for life? An innocent kid! Below is a compilation of some of the most…

'That child has been screaming for 40 minutes!': Kevin has screaming match with baby on flight, causes everyone to get deplaned

Being stuck on a plane with a screaming baby is certainly headache-inducing, but it is never reason enough to throw your own tantrum. Babies get a free pass when it comes to sobbing uncontrollably because most of the time, they have no idea what's even happening. Grown men, on the other hand, do not get to make everyone's flight experience a complex mess and a half. But that's exactly what this Kevin did in this viral video . You can even see the passenger seated next to him, who appears to be…

'All four kids… agreed to not invite us to the baby shower': Stepparents cancel vacation plans for stepkids after paying for baby shower they weren't invited to

This family drama came to a boiling point after this stepmom finally said “no.” It's hard for parents to say no to what their kids want. After all, you want to give your precious children the world! Parents work so hard to put food on the table, keep their kids wearing nice clothes, drive them to sports practices, and more. Children have no idea how much effort their parents put into raising them, so they don't always say thank you. For most of us, though, we grow up and realize all the sacrifi…

'Why are you always dressing your girl in pink?': Karen neighbor gets mad at father for dressing his 2-year-old daughter in pink clothes

This bizarre and completely unnecessary exchange did not help this Karen's cause at all. She accosted her neighbor demanding to know why he always dressed his two-year-old daughter in pink clothes. Her logic was that while girls traditionally enjoy the color, they deserve the opportunity to wear other colors as well. Listen, from an ideological standpoint, we're inclined to agree with this Karen's thinking. However, there is no way she is seeing what this young girl is wearing all the time, so…
