And re-reading the same book 900x to someone and then getting told that somebody else does it better and you are doing it all wrong. And the book must be either mysteriously sticky, wet, or both.
But having to clean boogers, mystery food, and unidentifiable “stuff” off of the book—-as well as everything else the child touched—-then sanitize it first.

You were required to tote it from class to class and then take it home. I was given a stroller and other relevent items. It would randomly cry at all hours day and night. To get it to stop you had to pick it up and put this key-like pin in the back and hold it in until it stopped crying, which could take awhile. I believe it also had to have diapers changed. As well, it had censors to know when it was dropped or moved or if you let it cry too long before putting in the pin. It would log all this info and if it was dropped or you failed to put the pin in promptly when it cried, you failed your entire home economics class. Pretty sophisticated for early 90s tech. And no one in school could make fun of you because we all had to have our turn with it. I thought the entire exercise was amusing and a really good lesson because that baby was annoying as hell and you had to take it with you no matter where you went. Afterwards, I could only imagine how much worse a real child would be.
That should be mandatory for any teenager in the world!

That doesn't explain about STDs and the reproductive system etc. Proper education is vital.
After each student has been forced to stay up all night listening to a crying baby recording on loop. Said student must be on time & alert in class the next morning.
Same as if you have your own and have a job....

And stepping on Legos or other small, hard toy. Also, having food crumbs in your drink
Add random, unknown sticky/crusty/crumbly debris in your bed, shoes, pockets and every kid-level surface....

The deterrent should be having kids while a teen and living at home. You should have the sound of your parent shouting at you to stop your baby cry with some old-fashioned trick that, with a baby crying even louder cos of the built up tension and hostility, and being threatened to be kicked out of the house with your baby and nowhere to go.
Yeah, 16 And Pregnant and the first season of Teen Mom is sometimes accurate on that, but not everyone watches it, and you never know what is for the camera. It hits harder when it's more personally closer. Which reminds me. I knew someone that was given one of those baby dolls in High School. She got a failing mark cos her little brother threw the baby doll down the stairs. So, that's another warning for little teenagers to not have babies too young and living at home with siblings. LOL jkjk. But, yeah, I agree with you there.

lol id get thrown out that class. id stab the fake baby. and brake the tv
One won't knw how sweet a sugar is unless one"s tried the taste of bitterness. The same goes here, believe me that all those heart wrenching cries, headache inducing screams will be missed (I kid u not) once the kids grew up! I m a 47yo grandpa with 2 sweet grandchild, and I wouldn't trade it for the experience sitting them, the laughter, cries, diapers etc... Update : or at least, the "bitter" experience of having a baby (and/or child) would make one realized how much sweet (and more) somethings that one's taking for a granted before and thus (being) prepared (for them, now seemingly sweet things 😅) the next time they happens! 🙏🌹
Seems like good birth control to me. It's been my experience that kids as young as 10 or 11 know exactly how babies are made.
And stepping on multiple Legos while a toddler shouts they can't sleep without Binky Bear.
I think that so much more ought to be added to this. *students must be sleep deprived *add the smell of soiled diapers *Add a baby doll that pukes at least four times a day * include a budget and a list of what parents require daily just for the baby * Set up a mock store, which is low on diapers, formula and wet ones etc..when one adds more and negative impacts of reality, it might make a deeper impact
Just don’t have children. Nasty little buggers. I don’t get it!! Animals are so much cuter
No. Just make 'em watch "The Upside Down Show" for 3 hours. If that doesn't promote abstinence, safe sex or whatever, nothing will
You also have to play "Why is the cheerio wet? When did I give you the cheerio?" 3x a day
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. The pressure society puts on moms is unbelievable. Expecting moms are told countless ways how they “should" give birth, feed their baby, build their career, promote a healthy relationship with the baby, and so on and so on. Meanwhile, moms who delivered a baby are expected to “get back on track,” meaning life, work, family duties, body shape and size should be the way society wants. If not, many moms feel like they failed, hence self-worth problems and even depression may emerge.
This the greatest idea!! You take out your pitcher and get it filled, I want one!!! image-626d...11-png.jpg
This survey commissioned by TIME found that half of 913 new mothers that participated had experienced regret, shame, guilt or anger, mostly due to unexpected complications and lack of support. And that’s not all.
More than 70% felt pressured to do things a certain way. More than half said a natural birth was extremely or very important, yet 43% wound up needing drugs or an epidural, and 22% had unplanned C-sections. Breastfeeding, too, proved a greater challenge than anticipated. Out of the 20% who planned to breastfeed for at least a year, fewer than half actually did.
The majority of mothers in the survey pointed to “society in general” as the source of the pressure, followed by doctors and other mothers. Sadly, this has become the new norm and not many women dare to publicly talk about it in fear of being dubbed “selfish” and “not good enough.”
So no wonder so many women these days choose to stay single and/or childfree. Contrary to common belief, a new study found child-free people are as happy as parents, with the authors surprised by just how many men and women indicated they didn’t want to have kids. The result follows the larger trend of Americans having fewer children in general: the U.S. birth rate fell to a record low last year and there could be 300,000 to 500,000 fewer births in 2021, according to some estimates.
Yes, and I'm never quite sure whether I'm deep cleaning BECAUSE I'm mad at the world and being passive- aggressive about it and want them to slowly back away from the crazy lady with the scrub brush and bleach, or whether I'm mad at the world because I'm having to deep clean AGAIN and I'm the only person doing it.
So to find out more about why more and more women consciously decide to opt out from parenthood, we spoke with the relationship coach Jane Parker. “I think there are many possible reasons and each woman who chooses to be childfree and/or single has a unique reason for themselves,” she told Bored Panda.
Parker explained that some women realize that their career is more important to them than having children or getting married. “Devoting your life to caring for another is a very big choice to make, and not all women want to commit to that. Life without children can create more ease for adventure, unlimited possibilities, and freedom of choice.”
Another reason may be finances. “Maybe some women just love the idea of only needing to think and take care of only themselves and aren't willing to make the sacrifices that parenting requires,” Parker said.The relationship coach said that childfree women may not want the responsibility of raising a child or, quite simply, “they love their life exactly how it is and don't want to change it to fit around a child.”

You might not be wrong though. My hubby doesn't use soap. Just rinses the dishes and puts them away...wet, with food still stuck on. 'It's good enough!' No...no it really isn't.
I like breakfast, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood right after waking up, you know? Why force it on yourself.

And then the kids grow up and move away, and you miss them but they don't miss you because for them, life is a great big adventure, and you can't be mad at them because you did the exact same thing to YOUR parents. And now life is just more or less wrapping things up and putting things away and shutting things down so my wife won't have to deal with so much mess when I die.
Um. We’re living the same life. But you sound like you’re doing it with style. Bravo!

Agreed. A man who doesn't know how to wash dishes or even remember their child's birthday, isn't someone whom I would want to spend the rest of my life with if you ask me. That only means I'll wind up doing everything.

Remember people it's all temporary, it's won't last. Just enjoy it because soon you'll be dead...forever.
This is not the point of this article but reading your comment made me think of something I read recently. The person asked another individual that was fretting over if death would be painful, if anything was known or felt prior to them being born, and then said think of death the same way, you didn't know anything about anything before you were born and you won't know anything about anything after you die. So don't worry about it. Reading that changed my whole attitude about death. Edit: spelling
