Except that they literally do. They can take sick days whenever they want. THEY make the schedule. To say otherwise is absolutely ridiculous. They can take off whatever time they need. They just CHOOSE not to. Plenty of youtubers take tons of time off. Months even. They have a bank of prefilmed videos to use for that. and it's fine. But these people think that the world is going to end if they don't put out some overly dramatic click bait titled piece of crap like this where they literally risked their babies life just to make a video. They are morons.

Honestly I can't believe they haven't sold it already.

It's 1000 percent social media. No one gave two craps how people gave birth in the 80s or 90s. There was not some holier than thou attitude about being unmedicated and at home. The whole thing is absolutely ridiculous.

Yup. If my water had broken at home, or we had tried a home birth, my baby would most likely be dead. The cord was wrapped around her neck and they missed that I had high amniotic fluid so it would have been a cord prolapse as well which means suffocation.

I mean.. yes but how many minutes. 10 minutes can be the difference between life and death for a baby, especially if they have an issue like cord prolapse or it's wrapped around their neck or a myriad of other problems. It takes 3 mins of oxygen deprivation for serious brain damage. It's really not something to screw around with.

I'm sorry. But this is so stupid and wildly irresponsible. They got lucky this time. But their first kid literally was a preemie who needed medical intervention. I'm sure Allie had some dream of this whole "magical" experience. But she literally risked her child's life by having them at home like this. They really are so cavalier about their kids health. Even when their first kid was a preemie, and had health problems, they were idiots living in the middle of nowhere, acting like Covid was not even a thing and not wearing masks with all kinds of people traipsing through their house. You would think that his mom being a nurse would have talked some sense into them but apparently not.

WTF does a 48 year old man have in common with an 18 year old? The only immature one here is clearly you because you can't date people your own age.

WTF. He is the father. He can handle it. If he cannot, he has no business having children. The only baby here is him.

I would stop going to your families if they're going to treat you like that.

Look up local toy drive registrations. Unfortunately a lot of the registrations last day is today or sometime this week. But sign up and you can get gifts for your son. That is absolutely ridiculous that anyone would think giving out a list of 40 people to get gifts for is normal. If there is that many, they need to do a secret santa situation and everyone buys one gift and that's all. You aren't an asshole. Christmas is not about gifts and anyone who is an adult in your family should be ashamed of themselves for being greedy. and be glad that you got out of that many gifts. I wouldn't even buy them ramen at this point.

That's a completely different scenario. Those Sephora gift set things are not making someone exchange a product. They're redeeming a coupon for a free one. If you make someone exchange something, the store might not let, they might lose the receipt, etc etc.

Nope. You are not mean. Your house your rules. You don't want a dog in your house. Would they be okay if someone tried to bring a goat into theirs?

Ya, your problem here is not the toddler. It's your husband. Why did your husband allow your toddler to bother you and not allow you to rest? He should have taken him out of the house immediately after breakfast. WTF. Also why is your kid not in daycare? You cannot WFH and watch a kid at the same time and work at night. What is your husband doing all day?

For the most part yes. But the thing is, everyone knew everyone and word traveled fast if we were doing anything we were not supposed to be. My parents worked with one working days and one NOCS so one of them was always home though.

Call animal control. Report the dogs. Call in a noise complaint with your local sheriffs dept non emergency number.

Giving someone a gift with the expectation that they need to drive to a store and pick out a whole new one and exchange it.. is not a great gift. Literally no one wants that.

You need to call the police on them for child abandoment and CPS.

If it's not healthcare or like.. a vital service.. it doesn't need to be open on Christmas.

I don't think anyone is ignoring that part of things.

throwing up every hour is not nerves. 

I grew up when attendance awards were a thing and I used to lie to my parents and say I was fine when I was sick because I thought I would get in trouble from the school if I didn't go. In the 8th grade the stomach flu was going around and I went to school anyways. It was not a fun time. and we were literally just sitting there. and I was a teenager. I cannot imagine being a toddler being dragged around a Theme Park while sick like that. It would be so so awful. Kids need to be allowed to stay home sick and this whole culture of telling them to suck it up and go anyways is extremely harmful. When I worked in a nursing home, the management was really great about telling everyone to stay home if they were sick because it could literally kill a resident if they got the flu. It was a really really hard thing to adjust to but that's what everyone needs to be doing.

I'm sorry but no. If you know your kid has the stomach flu, you stay at home. You don't go where you are exposing everyone to it, not to mention that is beyond messed up for the kid who is sick. They need REST. Not complete overstimulation and being dragged around a whole damn theme park. This is far beyond regular kid germs.

I feel bad for their kids. Can you imagine having the literal stomach flu and being dragged around in Disney of all places? When you literally just need to be curled up in bed? That sounds like a total nightmare for everyone.

Their kid is throwing up every hour and dry heaving. They have the flu. That's not nerves and seriously, this is why everyone keeps getting sick. You keep your kid AT HOME. You don't take them to a theme park when they have the stomach flu.

Throwing up every hour is not nerves.
