20 Women Share What Happened After Someone Stole Their Baby Name

Ok, maybe it’s just because I’m a guy, but I don’t really see the big deal here. There are so many people with the same name out there, does it really matter THAT much if someone else has it too?

Then again, when it comes to TRULY unique names (like “Margoux,” for instance), I guess I can understand why someone would get upset.

1 Okay, that’s fucked up.

2. Well, you don’t own a name, so…

Photo Credit: Whisper

3. Not something to get violent over, dummy…

Photo Credit: Whisper

4. You didn’t realize it for 2 years, but realized it for 2 more? Don’t be a professional victim…

Photo Credit: Whisper

5. We always hurt the ones we love…

Photo Credit: Whisper

6. Yeah, but she’s 18. She’s not smart enough to think of something cool. So that’s on you!

Photo Credit: Whisper

7. Might or will?

Photo Credit: Whisper

8. Gripe. Her. Out.

Photo Credit: Whisper

9. Then. Use. It.

Photo Credit: Whisper

10. I’m guessing they didn’t get that wrong.

Photo Credit: Whisper

11. Boom.

Photo Credit: Whisper

12. With THAT spelling? Okay, that’s fucked.

Photo Credit: Whisper

13. So… why are you calling her your best friend…

Photo Credit: Whisper

14. Can you really steal a name?

Photo Credit: Whisper

15. Then blame your husband!

Photo Credit: Whisper

16. Just tell her!

Photo Credit: Whisper

17. Oh… that’s great revenge! Well done!

Photo Credit: Whisper

18. People should ask if it’s okay… but maybe they’re afraid of the answer?

Photo Credit: Whisper

19. Obviously…

Photo Credit: Whisper

20. What? Did you have the name stored in a box somewhere like a weird little secret?!

Photo Credit: Whisper

So much pettiness, so little time…

16 Baby Shower Confessions That Made Us Very Uncomfortable

Confession time: I’ve actually never attended a baby shower. I’m sure I will at some point, and after seeing these crazy confessions, I guess I’m semi-looking forward to enjoying the drama.

1. Just feel how you feel. Those emotions are all yours.

2. Dem hoes…

3. Nerd baby FTW!

8. Oh snap.

Photo Credit: Whisper

9. **sniff**

Photo Credit: Whisper

10. So fabulously, profanely petty.

Photo Credit: Whisper

11. Just. Say. No.

Photo Credit: Whisper

12. Oh, this sucks…

Photo Credit: Whisper

13. Y.I.K.E.S.

Photo Credit: Whisper

14. Pro gift.

Photo Credit: Whisper

15. Divorce her immediately.

Photo Credit: Whisper

16. Not a bad point, tbh…

Photo Credit: Whisper

Shocking, yes. Surprising? Not really.

But that Grandmother-To-Be shower and then no baby shower for the mom is peak pettiness. How does something like that even happen?

F**king people…

Mom Has the Funniest Response to Her Daughter’s Struggle with a Robotic Baby

I used to date a girl who was obsessed with the idea of having a baby, even though she had pretty limited experience with them. For whatever reason, the whole fantasy of how fulfilling being a mother is caught her hook, line, and sinker. I often wonder, however, if she’d have felt that way after doing one of these mechanical baby exercises. I’m betting on “No,” because the reality of having a baby is VERY different from the fantasy you see on TV.

A teenager named Olivia thought she’d have an easy early childhood education class…but nope. Her ‘walk in the park’ ended up teaching her a valuable lesson in just how difficult child rearing is. And her mom was there to capture it, of course!

Her mom, Lawren, shared this post on Facebook, which has since gone viral because you know every mom out there can relate to this scenario.

Meet William. He’s Olivia’s interactive baby assignment for her Early Childhood Education Class. Now, meet Olivia with…

Doesn’t Olivia just look like exhaustion, personified?

People on Facebook responded with their thoughts.

Lawren told Buzzfeed that after the assignment, “Olivia thinks she may adopt an older child, like a 10-year-old, when she’s ready to be a mom!”

I think it’s safe to say that “William” the robot did his part…

FDA Warns Parents Not to Let Babies Use Teething Jewelry

As a parent, there’s nothing worse than seeing your little one in pain while you stand by, powerless to stop it. And while cutting teeth is just a painful rite of passage, the popularity of “teething jewelry” at least gave parents the illusion they were doing something to help.

A post shared by Kendra Raymer Blog (@kendra.raymer) on

But After the strangulation death of an 18-month-old, the Food and Drug Administration is officially cautioning against it.

“We know that teething necklaces and jewelry products have become increasingly popular among parents and caregivers who want to provide relief for children’s teething pain and sensory stimulation for children with special needs. We’re concerned about the risks we’ve observed with these products and want parents to be aware that teething jewelry puts children, including those with special needs, at risk of serious injury.”

And if you’re sitting there thinking you’d never put your baby to bed wearing a necklace, well, you’re not in the clear – a 7-month-old baby died after choking on a teething bracelet while his parents were in the room with him.

A post shared by Khansa Khadijah Wijaya (@khansakhadijahwijaya) on

“Choking can happen if the jewelry breaks and a small bead enters the child’s throat or airway,” the report continued. “Strangulation can occur if a necklace is wrapped too tightly around the child’s neck or if the necklace catches on an object such as a crib.”

The FDA also reminds parents that they don’t recommend the use of “teething creams, benzocaine gels, sprays, ointments, solutions, or lozenges for mouth and gum pain” either, and suggests following American Academy of Pediatrics’ guidelines for soothing teething pain.

Those include rubber teething rings (cold is best!) or rubbing the irritated gums with a clean finger.

It’s hard to watch, parents, and even harder to have patience with a constantly irritated infant, but according to the FDA, the risks of using the jewelry to mitigate everyone’s pain is too much.

My advice? Try a large, peeled carrot right out of the fridge. Works like a charm!

Hilarious Twitter Thread Had Everyone Insulting Babies,

Who doesn’t love babies? They’re so sweet and adorable and innocent. They’re literally called “bundles of joy.”

Well, not everyone feels that way. I know plenty of folks who aren’t really enamored with toddlers. A lot of them even took to Twitter after this tweet by Twitter user Charlily.

Apparently, people had some feelings about babies, y’all.

The hits just kept coming!

Hmm, I guess babies are kinda useless and lazy.

Poor lil’ babies.

So: babies – adorable or useless? You decide!

This Invention Makes Going to the Bathroom with a Baby SO Much Easier

File this one under “Stuff You Never Knew You Needed.” Going to the bathroom with a baby in tow is a PITA, but this invention allows you to do so in peace. Lifehacker writer Michelle Woo discovered this contraption during a trip to Tokyo, Japan.

Right next to the toilet, there is a seat for a baby. It’s like a shopping cart seat, but for the bathroom!!! GENIUS.

Photo Credit: Lifehacker

These contraptions have been around in Japan for years, per this Reddit post. While a lot of moms are probably over here wondering when on Earth we’ll get these in the U.S., several Redditors assert that these are actually… a Thing? In certain U.S. cities?

“Saw one last week in a Wal-Mart in Ohio,” one Reddit user wrote.

“See them all of the time in PA,” another said. “Just have to go into the handicap stall.”

Photo Credit: Reddit

Okay, so why are they not in EVERY bathroom? This reminds me of the Great Changing Table Debate. Going out would be a lot easier for families if these simple contraptions were commonplace everywhere.

Apparently, Japan is parent-friendly in many other ways. They have rentable strollers at shopping centers, and feeding rooms at airports (with hot water dispensers for making formula)!

Catch up, America!

Charles Vance Millar, a Toronto lawyer…

Charles Vance Millar, a Toronto lawyer, died in 1926 with no relatives. In his will, he left all his remaining assets (equivalent to $9 million CAD) to the woman who had the most babies within 10 years of his death, creating a “baby race” where woman competed to have the most babies.

Mom Calls out Anti-Vaxxers After Her Newborn is Exposed to Measles

Never as a child growing up did I think we would one day live in a world where anti-vaxxers were as big of a thing as they seem to have become these days. Even though cases of vaccines causing adverse effects are exceedingly rare, and the concern about links to autism has been thoroughly debunked, they still continue to endanger everyone else via their stubborn refusal to accept science. Thanks to anti-vaxxers, previously eradicated diseases like measles are now making a comeback.

Jennifer Hibben-White posted about her experience on Facebook. Thankfully, her son didn’t get measles, but her story should be read by every anti-vaxxer.

She starts with a picture of her son, and then the facts:

Her doctor advised her to take precautions, which left her enraged (understandably):

She directs her rage at the ones who deserve it: those who have chosen not to vaccinate their children. And she doesn’t hold back:

Hibben-White reveals the heart-breaking reason that underlies why she’s so passionate about vaccinations—the loss of her daughter at five years old. She would have done anything to save her daughter, yet people are taking their access to life-saving vaccines for granted.

Finally, she calls out anti-vaxxers on their hypocrisy:

So savage.

15 Tweets That Perfectly Sum up Life With a Newborn

Parenting is an incredibly rewarding experience, but it’s definitely also hard, exhausting work. Newborns are especially tough to deal with because they’re constantly crying, pooping, or sleeping. That may not sound so bad, but wait until you experience a wailing newborn at 3:00 a.m. in the morning.

Newborns are tough, which is why I want to hug all 15 of these parents for making me laugh through my exhausted tears.

#1. This continues into toddlerhood but it can be any type of food or sticky substance, not just puke.

#2. Times two if you’re doing it with a partner.

Image Credit: Twitter

#3. Mostly when you should be sleeping.

Image Credit: Twitter

#4. There’s no way to turn those things off at the beginning.

Image Credit: Twitter

#5. Totally normal question.

Image Credit: Twitter

#6. That’s sure to freak some people out.

Image Credit: Twitter

#7. Luckily, she won’t remember any of this.

Image Credit: Twitter

#8. Wait, we’re supposed to change?

Image Credit: Twitter

#9. I mean, nice try, though.

Image Credit: Twitter

#10. We’ve all cried over spilt milk if we just spent 20 minutes pumping it in the middle of the night.

Image Credit: Twitter

#11. The sleep deprivation is real.

Image Credit: Twitter

#12. Because we’ve all tried.

Image Credit: Twitter

#13. If it’s the latter I want to be friends with your kid.

Image Credit: Twitter

#14. I’m good.

Image Credit: Twitter

#15. See also: I’ve found my keys in the front door the next morning.

Clearly they’ve kept their senses of humor!
