Empathetic

By anonymous - 28/12/2011 08:14 - United States

Today, my 9 month-old son realized he is just as tired as I am. His solution is to cry loudly. My solution was to cry along with him. FML

Like mother like son, eh? Are you sucking on soothers as well?

Uh, when you are raising a young baby who cries and needs constant attention (and probably experience some post natal depression) I think it's okay to have a little cry when you're over tired and stressed.

If she cries as much as the baby, she was to young for you bro....

Is this a grammar website, Lina? -.-

My bad... I forgot that this site was for the grammatically correct (sarcasm)

To the people saying its not a grammar website: It pretty much is. To the commenter I'm replying to: Are you trying to make a joke of some sort? If you were, it wasn't funny. If not, then I don't really get what you're trying to say. I'm assuming OP is the child's mother, in which case your comment makes no sense.

No worries Theisland. I thumbed you up anyways. :)

Keyboardwarrior: It was a joke, from a tv show, but I guess I failed to make a funny today.

12- apparently you do not have a child.. Being a parent is the hardest thing a person will ever do.. It is so stressful. And that is just terrible that you say she is too young for the father of the baby if she is crying. I can't even begin to tell you how much I cried within my sons first year. Every mother cries.. And most mothers cry A LOT!! Have a child. Then see how you and the mother feel. FYL to the max, OP!!

Theisland: I understand where you are coming from. But if someone is having a problem reading my comment and understanding what i was saying then someone else is on the unintelligent side

He knew what you were trying to say, he wasn't talking to you. He was talking to the anti-grammar nazis.

Calm yo ****, he made a stupid Jersey Shore joke.

57: it was a damn joke, why do you always get butt hurt over everything people comment? And I know all about taking care of children. I helped take care of my little brother my whole life. I guess on my comments from now on I'll need to write a paragraph explaining exactly what It meant!

Tweetypie - is there any other kind of Jersey Shore joke?

57-you spend too much time writing ******* comments telling people off over the Internet won't make a difference so shut the **** up and enjoy the humor of the site/app.

157- Just a little FYI... Using the "F word" isn't attractive or appealing in any way, shape, or form. As a matter of a fact, you saying it so much made me want to comment even more. You didn't get your message across at all. And just so ya know.. I'm actually, in a normal situation, the first person to say something nice and positive and give a "smiley face".. But I don't take jokes like this too kindly.. Everyone has already said their peace. I've already been yelled at,(which is very weird, considering that you can't yell through a message that is typed.. Yelling is through your voice, which I would never put up with, to be yelled at in person..). Anyway.. I'm just saying that a potty mouth only makes me want to comment even more. "yelling", if you will, never accomplishes anything. If you want me to actually take your advice, as rude as it may be, you should come about it with a different approach. :) Good day to you! ;)

After a little investigation, I am very ashamed to say that I just gave a rebuttal argument to a 13-year-old kid.. Wow.. I can't believe I just brought myself to that level..

157 You're comment contradicts your post. You're telling her off, while telling her that telling somebody off over the Internet won't solve anything. Take your own advice?

desireev 17

And guys.. I really am sorry for acting like that. It's not my character. I am not one to act like that at all! (I can't believe I'm giving a cyber-apology) lol It's actually been bothering me most of the day. I really am ashamed of how I've acted on this post. I just don't take jokes like this too lightly. From now on, I'll take my own advice and keep my mouth shut unless I have something nice to say! But for real, I truly apologize. I shouldn't have acted that way. I do, however, stand by my beliefs and I still say that this subject is one that is not to be joked about. But, once again (lol), I do apologize for the way I acted. I hope all of y'all have a great evening! :)

This site is not grammatically correct because the majority of the people on here are unintelligent. So good for you. You all give witty comebacks to 13 year olds. I thought I'd come on here to just upset some people cause it can be quite fun sometimes but other people's stupidity has made me decide to leave. Goodbye and good luck with you all thinking you're so smart, telling off children. *This statement is just in general from all I've seen here on this website.* Disappointment.

It's not always easy to "eat crow" Desireev, good form in doing so. :) (Cyber hugs!.....which can't actually happen cause you can't hug online, like yelling..... ;) Okay, enough teasing. Cheers!). :D

I'm sure you'll have more days like that. Try taking naps with your baby as much as you can. I know it's easier said than done when there's so much to do.

Don't worry. Only another seventeen years, then you will be crying because of your wrecked car...

All you kids who are laughing and teasing will change your tune as soon as you have kids. My kids are the best thing in my life, but they are also the most difficult. OP, children are maddening, but they are worth it. Hang in there.

Thank you, Doc. It is such a relief to see another parent with the same opinion as mine. I'm sure you are an excellent father! Your wife must be so proud! :)

Exactly, these young ins do not understand how completely exhausting and wonderful this precious time can be with a baby. They will know someday.

I'm his wife and I most certainly NOT proud of him. He is a lying cheating pig and does a horrible job at raising our kids.

U need some serious ME time!! And a baby sitter, maybe the DAD!!!

Come on now. In this modern world, what young mother expects the baby's father to be there for more than a child support check? Something like 8/10 kids are born to single mothers. The rest are born from guys like me and DocBastard who get called "old fashioned" on a fairly regular basis.

Drifter - your statistics are a tad off. By "a tad off" I mean "WAY off". Worldwide 1 in 6 children live with a single parent. It's about 14% in Australia and 25% in the UK (thanks, Wikipedia). I think that 80% statistic to which you are referring is that 80% of single-parent households are headed by a woman.

I dunno, Doc.... I live in Texas and most people here are single parents who wait for child support checks each month... Admittedly they work at McDonalds and live in trailers.... But whatever... That has nothing to do with it, right?

been there before, ah the joys of an infant!

What's with your profile picture?? That's just weird...

Looks like she is showing off her nice boobs and at the same time representing the bulldogs... Duh

Wait... But isn't that what FML is all about? It's a contest isn't it? Just kidding

Been there. Feel for ya! It gets better.

Just give him to a babysitter an go out and have a drink with some friends, solves everything :)

desireev 17

Except when you wake up the next morning with a screaming child and a terrible hangover.. Not so much a "solves everything" scenario anymore.. Not to mention, while you're out, all you're gonna do is worry about the baby. So no, not really a good time.. At all...

OR don't get drunk, have a nice evening with friends and call home every hour or so to check on baby.

Or don't go drinking, because your fun time doesn't depend on the amount of alcohol you're consuming..then again, your choice
