In 1992, a couple donated their egg and sperm to a local hospital. In 2020, that frozen embryo was finally implanted into a woman which which resulted in the successful birth of the world’s first ’27-year-old’ baby.

I think the words “tired” and “parents” go together almost all of the time, but with the year we’ve all had, there’s no question that it does now.
We’ve had a lot of togetherness, very little leaving the house, and are all trying to juggle work along with everything else.
We could use a laugh, is what I’m saying – and these 12 memes are an excellent reminder that not only is it good to laugh at our lives sometimes, but also that we’re not alone in the madness.
Kids have a death wish.

I don’t know what kind of life I envisioned myself having at this age, but watching a half-naked toddler lick the frosting off a Pop-Tart while sitting on my chest at 5:45 in the morning was almost definitely not a part of it.

I love animals, and I was obsessed with The Crocodile Hunter back in the day.
While I was recovering from a difficult surgery, Steve Irwin’s “Danger, danger, danger,” was the fastest way to make me smile.
So of course I follow his daughter Bindi’s Instagram to keep up-to-date on what’s happening in the Irwin lives and at Australia Zoo.
Bindi and her family post a lot of great pictures to Instagram.
Whether they are pictures of the family helping animals, traveling, or just hanging out at home, they are always delightful and sure to please, like this group photo she posted recently:
It features her mom Terri, brother Robert, husband Chandler, and showcases Bindi’s baby bump.
Bindi and Robert are so much like their parents that it’s scary sometimes.
Steve definitely did an amazing job in the short time he had, to pass down his love of wildlife and his passion for conservation.
Like her parents, Bindi met her future husband during a tour of the family’s zoo.
After a years-long, intercontinental courtship, Chandler finally popped the question in 2019.
Now he’s part of the Australia Zoo family too, and honestly, I’m not sure there’s a more welcoming place on earth.
In many ways, Chandler is a lot like Steve-o.
That post, featuring an Australian Carpet Python, sure does remind me of a famous picture of Steve.
(And the UPS commercials where he used to pretend to get bitten.)
Unfortunately in the spring of 2020, Bindi and Chandler’s wedding plans had to be modified due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But that didn’t stop them from enjoying the gorgeous day with family and close friends.
You can’t help but think that Steve would have been thrilled.
Especially later in the year when they made their very special announcement.
Once they found out she was pregnant, I bet Bindi couldn’t wait to recreate her family’s iconic photo.
Neither could her followers! The post has been favorited over 1 million times!
Just like Steve and Terri, it is obvious that Bindi and Chandler will be great parents.
And the world will be better off for the new Wildlife Warrior they are bringing into it.

There’s nothing quite like a baby’s smile to light up a gloomy day.
Even when a cranky relative claims, “They’re not smiling at you. It’s just gas.”
One new adoptive mom from Texas proved cranky relatives everywhere wrong, when she shared a video of her beautiful little one smiling on cue.
The video, posted to Facebook by the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network, shows 8-month-old “Baby H” lying on a blanket for tummy time.
Image credit: Facebook
When her mom asks how her day is going, Baby H smiles up at her.
Mom coos back that she loves her new smile and asks, “Can you show me again?”
After a moment, the little girl obliges, grinning from ear to ear.
Image credit: Facebook
Her mom is so tickled that she laughs. “Oh my goodness! I like that new smile.”
Thrilled with the attention, Baby H keeps it up.
As long as mom will laugh, she’ll cheese for the camera.
Image credit: Facebook
Children, and babies especially, change and grow so quickly that it’s always a joy to record precious moments for posterity.
This family was not only lucky enough to document their daughter’s sweet smile, but they were willing to share their delight with the rest of the world.
As they told the Daily Mail:
“You can tell by my laughter how much we adore this smile and she actually only smiled like this for a couple of weeks so this video is a treasure for us.”
They decided to share the video, courtesy of the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network, because:
“We hope that all the viewers will see the beauty that lies in people with Down Syndrome. Although a Down Syndrome diagnosis can be scary, the reality is that your child has a purpose and will be able to live a full and happy life.”
The video has amassed more than 300,000 likes and over 38,000 comments on Facebook.
Watch it and see for yourself.

I’ve heard so many awful in-law stories lately that I think I’m still gonna hold off on getting married for a little while…
I think some of my married friends out there might know what I’m talking about, right?
Because things can get complicated and much worse when in-laws try to butt in and tell the people who are married to their children how to do things…and here’s a perfect example of that.
The man took to the Reddit “Am I the *sshole” forum to tell his story and ask for feedback. Let’s take a look.
AITA for telling my wife and in-laws to f*ck off after they told me to stop cuddling my daughter?
“I have 3 kids, 15F, 12F and 7M.
My oldest has always been a cuddler, and that suits me fine because I am too. Recently my in laws were over, and we were all watching a movie together. It was a kids movie, and so my 15yo was bored out of her mind and tired, so she started to snuggle up to me and go to sleep.
After the movie was over, we sent all the kids to bed/their rooms and got chatting for a bit longer. There was a fair bit of wine involved (I was sober though), and eventually after a short silence my FIL let it drop that he thought it was inappropriate I still cuddled with my 15 yo.
I don’t really know why he brought it up suddenly, but I was prepared to laugh it off and just assumed it was the alcohol. To my surprise, my wife and MIL both agreed with him.
I have a lot of respect for my in-laws, I get along with them great and I consider them closer than my own parents. Obviously I’m quite fond of my wife as well, but I outright told them to “f*ck off and go f*ck themselves” and then left them and went to bed.
I’ve never spoken to any of them like that before, but it felt like the right thing to say in the moment. They all want me to apologize for being so rude to them. AITA?
Edit due to info request: We were not spooning, she was sitting next to me laying on my chest.”
Oh, boy…let’s see what people on Reddit had to say about this.
This person made it abundantly clear that the man was not wrong in any way for his actions.

And another reader responded with an interesting take on the whole situation.
Could it be that they were trying to link this dad’s behavior to toxic masculinity?

Another parent weighed in and said there is nothing wrong with the dad’s actions and that they still cuddle with their older kids, as well.

This Reddit user said that we as human beings need contact and it’s a basic need.
So, in other words, there’s nothing wrong with it.

Finally, a person made a very good point about not letting the daughter even know about this situation, because it could lead to hurt feelings.

Was this guy wrong for lashing out at his family like this?

Everybody has different rules when it comes to their kids and social media. Whether it’s screen time for them or how often we choose to share their images ourselves, parents’ expectations really run the gamut.
It seems to follow that we would ask others what they’re comfortable with – and then follow their lead with their kids – before posting pictures of minors on the internet.
Am I being unreasonable asking people to not post pictures of my kids on social media? from NoStupidQuestions
This woman is not finding that to be true, though, leaving the rest of us to realize, once again, that you can’t assume much of anything when it comes to human behavior.
Here are 15 people weighing in on what expectations are reasonable, and what might be expecting too much.
I have a friend who, in addition to never posting pictures, also asks that nobody ever say what her child’s NAME is on social media.
As a dad myself, do I think that’s crazy over the top levels of protection? Sure.
But do I also respect her wishes as a parent? Of course.
That’s not unreasonable at all. That’s your decision as a parent and anyone that argues might have their baby picture taking privileges revoked. I don’t blame you and it’ll be how I handle my children if/when I have them.
People need to respect your decisions. Don’t back down no matter what they say.
My biological father accidentally found out we had our daughter and we do not say her name or post her pictures on social media. He’s into little girls and our closest family knows and backs us 100%. The less he knows about her the better it is. We never mentioned the name part but it just happened organically and I didn’t realise till you mentioned it in the post.
It’s a special case for us but we’ve had no push backs from people not in the known.
People like you that respect our boundaries( even when it is over the top and you don’t know why) makes it so much easier for people in our situations.
I’d even say OP’s stance is the most reasonable possible. Remember how embarrassing it is for teenagers/young adults, to have photo albums with their baby pictures shown to friends or partners. Now imagine your parents had shared those pictures with the whole world.
People are way too careless about posting shit on social media and i applaud OP for not wanting to subject his/her baby to that.
It’s your job to protect their privacy until they are old enough to do it themselves. You’re doing exactly what you should be doing!
A family friend of mine recently had a baby (about 1.5 years ago). She’s made an Instagram page in the baby’s name where she posts embarrassing pictures of the baby with captions pretending to be the child – for example, captions like “Mama said I have to take a bath after soiling my diapers, but that ruins the fun!” and the like. I am mortified for her and feel bad for the child once the kid is old enough to read. It’s so painfully cringy and such a violation of the child’s privacy!
It’s bonkers to me that a parent could be so selfish & not consider the fact that eventually, their child will grow up, and the child won’t want their name and pictures plastered all over the internet from before they were even old enough to understand consent.
Not only is it reasonable, it’s responsible and forward thinking. There is no guarantee that any of our kids would thank us when they get older for posting pics of them online for all to see. If they want to share them one day then that’s their business.
The way I handled it was to set up a private group for close friends and family to share the occasional picture, but only because those people knew my kid in day-to-day life anyway. That said, my mother-in-law still kept reposting pics to Facebook until we threatened to block her.
I’ll double down on this, as an already established mother. I didn’t let people post pictures of my kid for a long time. Immediate family is allowed to post pictures now, because they respected my boundaries. More than that, they respected me as I figured out what my boundaries were. I needed to figure out as a mother what felt appropriate, what felt like an overshare.
If OP wants to keep their children off the internet, especially after their previous experience, absolutely everyone needs to respect that wish. There is no reason the child’s picture is needed online.
It would be good to look up what the laws are in your area, as chances are posting a picture of your child on social media would constitute “publication”, and you would have to provide permission for that.
I’m a drama tutor for after school classes and whilst the business I used to work for would encourage us to post on Instagram, I refused to do so unless I had consent from the parents. Too easy for a business to get sued.
I have asked my family to consult me/us prior to posting any photo of our kids or ourselves.
Most do, but a few wanna tease me or argue with me.
I do not talk to them anymore.
My kids, my life, my decisions.
No way!
Privacy is a right, which you should be able to exercise whenever possible
My sister is pretty adamant about not using social media.
The kids are teens now and they have their own accounts but post very rarely.
It’s a personal preference and I think it’s a pretty reasonable one.
I know numerous people who exercise their right to keep the image of their baby private.
My aunt and her spouse specifically had a sign outside their wedding ceremony location entrance requesting that while photos were allowed, they were not to be shared on social media.
That same announcement was also made immediately before the ceremony started.
AFAIK, nobody shared anything.
You aren’t being unreasonable at all.
My husband and I decided before Baby was even born that he wasn’t going to have on online presence until he could fully appreciate what that meant, and decided he wanted one. Meantime we send pics and vids of him through WhatsApp etc, but his relatives on both side of the Atlantic know that none of these images or vids are for wider dissemination, full stop.
I feel pretty badly for the generations who have had their whole lives put on the internet without their knowledge or consent. Family vloggers are gross, becoming a meme clearly has some downsides, and it’s been pretty well proven that excessive exposure to social media had a deleterious effect on a person’s self-esteem. I want my kid to be aware of what he’s getting into.
Can’t we all just respect each other? I’m starting to think the answer is not really.
What are your rules when it comes to your kids and social media?
Let’s compare in the comments!

In the best of times, people have varying degrees of comfort with children that don’t belong to them.
Some people adore kids, and want to hold every single one who will let them, and others want nothing to do with kids or babies, no matter how cute, for valid reasons of their own.
This OP on Reddit’s Am I The A$shole works in retail, and with the current health crisis, is required to follow customers around and disinfect any surfaces they touch.

A single mother with two young children came in looking for a dryer, and wanted to check out the floor models before making any decisions.
Fine.
Image Credit: Reddit
What wasn’t fine was that she kept trying to hand her baby off to the employee while she looked, but the person really didn’t want to hold the kid.
Image Credit: Reddit
She demanded to speak with the manager, who agreed with her.
Image Credit: Reddit
Both the manager and their co-workers agreed the employee should have just held the baby and been more sympathetic to the woman’s plight.

The people on Reddit were much more inclined to take the side of the poster, for some very valid reasons.

Also, there are liability concerns!

This person suggested that maybe the manager could hold the baby, since he or she was so into it.

And this mom pointed out that woman had plenty of options that would have been safer and more considerate.

If you don’t regularly check Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole” forum, you should really check it out.
People post questions on there about things that are happening in their lives and they want to know, as the title implies, they ask Reddit users if they are an a**hole or not.
And this one is from a guy who wanted to know if it was wrong for him to bring a baby to one of his classes.
Let’s take a look at what went down.

Hey, emergencies happen, right?
And you gotta step up to the plate when family members ask you to do something, especially in a pinch.
So this guy did what he thought was right and went to watch the baby.
But the next day, by the time his online class was about to start, the parents weren’t back yet…so he decided to do the class with the baby on his lap.

And, to top it off, he had to give a presentation.

The professor said it was all good so he turned on his camera, his baby cousin slept the whole time, and it went off without a hitch.
But then he got his grade…and a comment from his professor.
Photo Credit: Reddit
And this guy was pretty confused about the whole thing.
Photo Credit: Reddit
So what did the internet think?
No, she’s not an a**hole.
Photo Credit: Reddit
And, honestly, what’s up with that professor?
Photo Credit: Reddit
Not that bringing a baby to a class is very common… but still… it was SLEEPING.

So what do you think? Was he okay doing this? Or do you think he should’ve figured something else out?
Please share your thoughts with us in the comments! We love to read what you have to say!

Babies’ cuteness is key to their survival. Cute babies are just extremely hard to ignore, and this is likely hardwired into human brains. Less cute children are treated differently.
The post Babies’ cuteness is key to their… appeared first on Crazy Facts.
For a lot of people, there’s nothing more natural or terrifying than childbirth. Is the baby going to come out alright? Is the mom gonna make it? Will the dad pass out or not?
And when it comes to this Ask Reddit thread… nothing was held back. And I mean… nothing.
Doctors, nurses who deliver babies, what are some strange/funny things people have screamed while giving birth? from AskReddit
From surprise genders to raptor babies to some REALLY inappropriate things… these stories have got it all!
Let’s take a look.
My dad has told me they thought I was a girl all the way up to birth.
I came out as a c-section and the doctor goes “huh, this ones got extra equipment.”
I am not an obgyn but I was questioning a patient in the ER about some other health problem, she wasn’t carrying at that time. When I got to the part about the gynecological history I asked how many kids did she have and how were they born. She had two kids and were both born with C-section. I should clarify that this was in Spain and the patient was gypsy, now gypsies are not usually well educated and women often marry young and don’t finish school, they also talk weird.
Now, the lady told me she had 2 kids and 2 c-sections and I asked her why she had to deliver by c-section she said because the first kid was a “come coño”.
Well, this can be translated as “p*ssy eater.” This lady was convinced that her first child was going to eat her pussy and had to be taken out before he did.
You can imagine my surprise.
At first I didn’t understand and left the room after the questioning still puzzled. I went and started digging in her file and found out that the c-section had to be done because after she broke water the doctors noticed the amniotic fluid was filled with baby sh*t, usually when a baby shits in-utero, it is a sign that the baby is suffering and has to come out quick, that was why she had a c-section. Now here is why it is funny:
- In-utero baby shit is called meconio.
- The doctors probably told this lady that she had to get a c-section because the baby comes with meconio
- Comes with meconio = “viene con meconio” in spanish.
- “Viene con meconio” sounds a lot like “viene comecoño” (p*ssy eater)
- Imagine being told your whole life that your mom had to get a c-section because you were going to eat her p*ssy when you actually almost died at childbirth.
I know it must not be that funny in English but I did my best translating it and hope some of you see how funny it was for me.
One lady was too posh to swear when in pain from contractions, she just said “jeepers creepers.”
When I was born, my dad didn’t know that babies are usually born face down.
And as I was coming out he screams “OH MY GOD SHE DOESN’T HAVE A FACE.”
I was high on meds at the time, I was begging for BBQ ribs in between contractions.
“C’mon, honey! The nurses will never know!”
They were standing right there.
Apparently, when my aunt was giving birth, she was all jokes.
Very angry jokes, but jokes none-the-less.
KNOCK-KNOCK! WHO’S THERE?! THE BABY! NOT YET!
Not a doctor, but a father.
When my first child was born his head was kind of misshapen, and when the doctor lifted him up to show my wife she yelled “why the f*ck does he look like a raptor?”
I lost it.
EMT who did a birth on the side of the road.
Woman shouted “f*ck me!” during a contraction and the husband casually replied “that’s how we got into this mess, dammit!”.
I had a very hard time containing myself.
Patient fully dilated, started pushing, then changed her mind. “I don’t wanna do this, I’m going the f*ck home.”
And then tried to get off the table.
When my sister was in labor, she was screaming and our mom was trying to be comforting:
“It’ll be OK. Take some deep breaths. It’ll be over soon.”
Then my sister looks up at our mom and says “You have no idea what this is like.”
Paramedic here: Delivered a baby for a lady who did not realize she was pregnant and called us for ‘abdominal pain’
Patient: ‘You are an idiot! I am not f*cking pregnant’
Me: ‘Well, I can see a head crowning’
Patient: That must be a f*cking tumor!
The tumor was a healthy baby girl. Mom was totally sweet afterwards btw.
My roommate and I just finished our labor and delivery rotation in July.
During one of the births she was helping out in, the mom and the dad were separated but still good friends. So while this woman is pushing out her baby she begins to half tell/half scream that my roommate should date her ex/the baby daddy. The conversation went something like this:
Mom: You should really….(screams in pain)….go out with….(Screams again) him sometime. He’s really fun.
Dad: I wouldn’t mind some drinks sometime, what are you doing this evening?
No, she did not go out with him.
I’m white, Irish ancestry so I had red hair when I was a child, and my wife is black.
Her sister was also in the delivery room. When the baby crowned her sister told her she could see the baby’s hair. My wife who can barely breathe blurted out, “The hair isn’t red is it?!”
Apparently she was terrified the baby would be black with red hair.
My mothers labour was extremely short, I was born within an hour. So that means that she went from experiencing minimal pain, to extreme pain with little time to adjust.
When my dad was driving her to the hospital, he unfortunately had to stop for gas. He went into pay, and just then an elderly man in a wheelchair stopped him, asking him to buy cigarettes for him as the store was not wheelchair accessible.
My mom then proceeded to lean out the window, yelling “DON’T HELP THE CRIPPLE.”
We have never let her forget that one.
When my brother was born, they had to use forceps to get him out.
My mom saw them and screamed “THOSE ARE SALAD TONGS! YOU ARE NOT PUTTING ANY GODD*MN KITCHENWARE IN THERE!”
I am seriously crying laughing. The things people say at their most vulnerable are comedic gold, right?
