“Takin’ shits an suckin’ tits”
Shout out to all the moms, dads, and babies going through the first year. It gets better!
Pst… Don’t tell… but, small kids, small problems. ;)
I’d rather change a hundred diapers and bootlefeed in the middle of night than having to worry about if they made it safe home after a night out.
No, man… Appreciate the simplicity. Enjoy the sound of little feet walking little steps on the floor. It’ll be gone before you realise that you need to spend even more time trying to find something on the TV that both you and your better half want to watch at the same time…
Kids are great.
I’m currently at the “small problems” stage, and I’m trying not to take anything for granted. Yeah, I’m mildly sleep deprived, but life is great.
worry about if they made it safe home after a night out.
That’s why you beat some sense into them before they go out. /s
Why do they ask for that information anyway? So they know to capture you alive when you got a job that’s in demand in the destination country? Or do they hope to catch terrorists by fishing for ‘bomb builder’?
It really feels like some by-gone form field so many just keep putting on there because it’s always been there.
So many places, including doctor practices, ask for this (in Australia), and you’re just left feeling, why?? This is useless information that they don’t need to know.
For tax, home loans, etc, sure, that’s relevant information.
A doctor has a reasonal interest in your occupation. For office workers they’ll know to expect back issues and may nudge you towards preventive measures, for instance.
“professional boob sucker”
Unless the baby is getting paid or is certified I think he’d be an amateur boob sucker.
amateur boob sucker
Say that out of context
Why professional? Is he getting paid? Seems like an intern at best
He does it for a living
I interpreted the instructions to mean put “Not Employed” in the box, but they were ambiguous at best.
An unemployed baby?
How embarrassing.
This new generation is so lazy.
Write terrorists just to see what happens
Local law enforcement breaking down their door, worst case is that they live in america
“Freeloader” would also have been an acceptable choice.
We did “Photography Model” for ours lol
Nah just visiting
Ha! They got you to declare it as an occupation. You better not miss a tax filing or you’re screwed… /s
In the US (not sure about other countries), why would you give up the credit?
Unemployed.
Diaper filler
I’m just sus on if she’s trynna get that baby on a plane.
Don’t bring babies on planes, it’ll upset the baby worse than anything and leave the entire rest of the cabin only slightly less so.
Everything upsets babies, they live to be upset.
Yes but being made to fly actually hurts them because they aren’t ready for the pressure differences.
They aren’t crying just for the hell of it as much as everyone likes to joke about that being the case, that’s literally the only way they have to express that they need something or that they’re in some kind of distress for a good stretch of the time after they’re born.
Until the kid is able to sit still and be relatively quiet all you’re doing by forcing them onto the plane is imposing the very loud and painful results onto everyone else just trying to travel.
This goes for movies and restaurants and other such public places, though at least now you’re not also actually hurting the kid by bringing them into that situation. Still being as much of an ass to everyone else just trying to go about their business though.
If you’re mad that you’re not allowed to go anywhere anymore, hire a babysitter to take the break you’re imposing onto everyone else or maybe consider that next time before you bring a being who won’t learn to sit still and stop screaming for everything the want and need for years to come into the world.
You chose to be a parent, goddamn act like it.
It’s a pretty easy problem to solve, give them a bottle or sucking snack just before takeoff and landing, and keep them tired so they sleep most of the way. We’ve traveled with babies and it’s really not an issue most of the time.
Then again, we had to deal with two blowouts (huge poops that escape the diaper) on the same flight, so there certainly are hiccups you can’t plan for. But most of our trips with babies have been pretty okay.
You’re assuming a lot about a person’s situation who would be traveling internationally with a baby. They may not have a choice. In general, babies and their parents have as much right to exist in public as you do. Of course the courteous thing to do when your child is being disruptive is to try and calm them or remove them from the situation, but that’s not always possible. I’ve gone into a restaurant with a very happy baby that only turns sour after the food is ordered. All you can do sometimes is just try to mitigate it until you can get your food in to-go boxes and get out. Also worth noting that the main issue with flying for babies is the pressure change and not being able to deal with it. People will often yawn or chew gum to relieve it, and for babies you can give them a bottle or something chewy (depending on age) and it does the same thing.
Unless you’re literally moving across the world there’s no excuse. Just take the train and get a sleeper car if you need to travel long distance continental.
Order take away from the start if you want restaurant food so bad, wait for the movie to come out on stream if you want to see it so bad, just stop putting your loud and uncontrollable kids onto everyone else.
If you spend half the energy actually parenting the kids that you just did defending why you shouldn’t have to even if they disrupt everyone else’s time in public, you’d have kids that wouldn’t be an issue well on schedule.
What the hell? You don’t know me or my kids, why are you coming at me about my parenting? You’re talking out of your ass about raising kids. They don’t go straight from babies to adults, there is a lot of in-between, trial-and-error. Sometimes they cry, in public even (gasp), and we handle it. Sometimes they misbehave and we handle it. They’re not going to learn anything by being locked away from society. And if being out in public with other people who might have children with them is so hard for you, maybe you should order in and watch Netflix.
Just take the train and get a sleeper car if you need to travel long distance continental.
A. Trains? What trains? We don’t have shit for trains here.
B. Oceans? Did you consider those?
A. Literally all of those High Speed Rail fantasy maps are just superimposed on existing routes.
B. You do realize that makes taking the kid on the plane even worse right, there are passenger ships that travel between the continents.
Travel by land/sea is WAY more expensive and WAAAAAY more time-consuming than flying. If you can’t deal with a relatively short flight where there’s a chance that a child might make some noise, I’d recommend YOU take the land or sea route. Much more comfortable, please enjoy.
“Sorry, it’s a two week voyage. Hope you brought plenty of diapers.”
Honestly, publicly accessible HSR would be a dope way to travel with little ones, just flip the TV on and lock the door to the sleeper car room whenever you need to take a break from the railcation and get food or something.
Family carriages can even have a diaper dispenser and changing station in the room!
