Newborn Hydration: Comparing Babies, Bananas, and Potatoes

At birth, a newborn baby’s body consists of approximately 75% water, which is a slightly higher water content than bananas but marginally less than that of potatoes. As humans age, the percentage of water in their bodies decreases. By adulthood, the average human body is about 60% water. Maintaining proper hydration is essential for numerous […]

Was a Woman Wrong for Letting Her Dog Push Over a Young Child? People Shared Their Thoughts.

You never really know what’s gonna happen when dogs are around children.

That’s why both parties need to be responsible to make sure no one gets hurt. The most loving dog in the world might snap for some reason and bite a kid.

Or a child might do something to harm the animal. You just never know…

And a young woman took to Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page to ask readers if they thought she was in the wrong regarding an incident with her dog and a child.

Let’s take a look.

AITA for letting my dog push over a toddler?

“I (20f) have an 8 month old puppy.

He’s generally very well behaved, we’ve been going to a trainer with him since he was 4 months but he’s still an excitable puppy. I have him around young kids pretty often but I have them greet him properly first so they can play safely.

I take him for two walks a day which double as training sessions since he gets really hyped up outside and pulls/jumps which we’d like to stop even though he’s not particularly big and that means we’re frequently stopping and starting.

Today he started pulling near a local daycare, I stopped and he corrected himself so I gave him a treat and we went to head on when two young girls (2f, 4f) rushed over.

I knew them, they’re my neighbours and I generally get along with them so I paused to say hi, letting them know that my dog was okay to pat if they’d let me settle him down first since he gets a little excited and I didn’t want him jumping on them in case they got hurt. The girls seemed to understand but their dad came over and told them to “hurry up and pet the dog so we can go home”.

I tried to explain to him that I needed them to wait a second since he loves kids and if they wanted to pet him I just need to grab his collar and have him sit since he was still in training but he wouldn’t listen and told the girls again to “just pet him”.

So they did and my dog who was getting increasingly more excited about all these people immediately did what I warned and jumped up. The older one didn’t mind to much and let him lick her but the other fell over and immediately started screaming.

She didn’t seem hurt, just startled, but the dad immediately went off at me for having a “feral, untrained mutt” and told me I should never have my dog near kids before stormed off with his kids.

I did try and warn them but I love little kids and I feel awful about her being knocked over, especially since I probably could have grabbed him if I was paying more attention to my dog and less to the dad.

AITA for what happened?”

Here’s how people reacted on Reddit.

This reader said that the other dad in this situation is definitely to blame and that the guy is, quite simply, a d**k.

Another person said this boils down to one thing: entitlement from the dad in this story.

And this individual pointed out that the person who wrote the post tried but the father put his kids in danger by acting like this.

Finally, this Reddit user said that the person who wrote the story was trying to do the right thing and he did everything he could in this situation.

A Pregnant Woman Refused to Let Her Mother-in-Law in the Delivery Room. Was She Being Unreasonable?

I find it to be so strange when I hear about people who want to be in the delivery room who aren’t either the mother or the father of the new baby.

Like…why would you want to be in there?

And why would anyone let you in?!?!

But, here we are, friends…

A woman shared her story on Reddit and asked if she was wrong for the way she reacted. Let’s see what happened.

AITA for telling my husband that if MIL is in the delivery room that he can’t go?

“Okay, so this is an issue that I can’t deal with

I(28)am six months pregnant. Me and my husband have been discussing who can be in the delivery room.

I told him my mother was going to go obviously and he said he would want his mother to be there. I would be fine that but the hospital will only let 2 people in.

I told him if she went he won’t be able to go. He said he was expecting me to get rid of my mother and and let him go but I told him that wasn’t happening.

We’re now in an argument and he said he going to go to his friends house. It’s been 2 days and he still hasn’t returned. He isn’t answering my calls either. Now I don’t know where he is.

AITA.”

Hmmmm…now let’s take a look at how Reddit users reacted to this story.

This person said that the woman who wrote the post was not to blame for anything.

AT ALL!

Another reader said that they can’t believe why this woman would stay with a man who treated her this way.

This individual argued that women (and probably some men) should have a plan to get away from someone if they ever need to and they need to keep an eye on all the red flags that might pop up.

This Reddit user said that who will be in the delivery room when the time comes is completely and totally UP TO HER and no one else.

Now we want to hear from you.

Don’t hold back now! Let it all out!

Guy Asks if He Was Wrong to Kick a Co-Worker Out of His Wife’s Baby Shower

This story is really strange…

I understand that we all spend a lot of time at work, but when people start calling themselves someone’s “work wife” or “work husband”, I can see how that would make some folks uncomfortable.

And a man took to Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page to ask if he was wrong for the way he treated such a co-worker. Let’s see what happened.

AITA for kicking my coworker out of my wife’s baby shower?

“I (29m) work in a pretty tight workspace. We have about 9 of us in my department and it’s a pretty even split between men and women.

There’s one coworker “Eva”(20f) who started working here a few months back. She’s really good at her job and seems to get along with everyone. We get along well as we work on projects together and are usually in the group of people that are the last to leave most days. I learned some weeks ago that she was calling herself my “work wife”. I knew what the term meant, the sentiment wasn’t shared and I’ve expressed as much.

I don’t think I’ve been rude about it, I just let her know that I’d prefer for her to keep things a bit more professional. There’s no real harm in the term, but for someone who doesn’t understand the joke, it just looks and sounds wrong. I’m also a happily married man, and my coworkers including Eva know this.

I thought I had done a pretty good job nipping things in the bud after our conversation [I no longer heard the jokes from her] so I didn’t think it would be an issue to invite her to my wife’s baby shower. My coworkers are all vaccinated (our job helped us get them) and my wife WFH so there wasn’t much concern for the sickness that shall not be named.

Eva comes in and immediately starts back up with the jokes. “You’re OP’s home wife? Nice to meet you!”, “it’s so nice to see who takes care of my hubby when I send him home!” My wife is a very sweet and patient woman so she just laughed it off, albeit uncomfortably and moved on. However the jokes got worse and wouldn’t let up.

At one point Eva was telling people she would be our baby’s second mom. My wife’s friends and family were annoyed and my wife looked very uncomfortable. I had pretty much had it by then, and took her aside and told her that the jokes weren’t funny and that she could either apologize to my wife right now for being so inconsiderate and gross, or she could just leave. She chose to leave.

Word got around to our coworkers what happened and while they agree that she was acting inappropriately, that I should have let her down a little easier, as it was “obvious she likes you OP”.

Am I really the a**hole for kicking her out?

And here’s what folks on Reddit had to say about the man’s story.

This reader said that the man is not to blame and he needs to make sure human resources at his company knows all about this…just in case…

Another Reddit user said that anyone who “likes” a married co-worker and makes it known is pretty gross.

This person said that the other co-workers are also to blame for their behavior.

No, he shouldn’t be nice to her because of this!

And this Reddit user agreed that the other co-workers seem to be part of the problem.

Finally, this individual made a very good point: if a man acted like this toward a married woman at work, they would definitely be labelled as a creep.

Do you think this guy was out of line?

Or did he do the right thing?

The Parts of Pregnancy Nobody Talks About

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the quickest gestation period for any mammal goes to the Virginian opossum, who only goes about 12 days before.

The longest period belong to the Indian elephant, who typically clocks in at about 22 months (for those keeping score at home, that’s nearly two years.)

Humans fall right smack dab in the middle of the spectrum with a tidy 9 month pregnancy in most cases. And while that may seem a short sentence compared to the likes of the elephant, it’s full of enough contortions and bodily surprises to make it feel significantly longer.

But don’t take my word for it – I’m just some dude. Check out what these women had to say.

10. “Some days I hate being pregnant.”

If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

9.  “That moment when…”

Is it time to go to the hospital or just to clear the room?

Source: Whisper

8. “It’s scary to try to push hard.”

I feel like that alone should be on a motivational poster.

Source: Whisper

7. “Never have coffee while pregnant.”

All that AND no coffee? This is the worst.

6. “I have a superpower.”

If you count the ability to create a new human being I’d say you’d got two superpowers.

5. “I love my baby but…”

What’s going on in there anyway?

Source: Whisper

4. “Pumped full of dough.”

So do mine and I don’t even have an excuse.

3. “It scared the baby and makes her jump.”

Imagine what that would feel like from the inside tho.

Source: Whisper

2. “I freaked my husband out.”

Yup, that’s next level pregnancy alright.

1. “I swear!”

Subsidize TP.

God bless you, pregnant ladies. I don’t know how you do it.

Have you ever been pregnant? What was it like?
