No thanks

By Kara - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my downstairs neighbor had a home birth. Not only did I hear eighteen hours of uninterrupted screaming, they called me afterwards to ask if I could come over to help them clean up. FML

Lovely... Excuse me while I empty the contents of my stomach. (I clean up my OWN mess)

Yeah sure I'll help clean up your blood, mucous and various other bodily fluids... ummm hell to the not a freaking chance.

You should've called the cops and told them you thought someone was being murdered

My mom had me like a boss. Lol. Sisters and their friends went to bed, no baby. When they woke up, BAM!!! Baby me just chillin. None of the neighbors in the apartment heard. Of course, her labor was so fast that the doctor almost dropped me on my head... Point being, my mom is awesome.

She had Dr. Zoidberg didn't she o_O (/)(;,,;)(/)

Did you get to hear the screams that made the baby too? did they ask you to help clean up after that too? Sounds fishy...who would do that?

not unless they pay you, even if they did i'd still probably say no

Annoying and nasty.... Definitely say no!!

The woman had a home birth that was not in a single-family detached home, so therefore most of the screams of pain could be heard by others, and these people ask neighbors to come help clean up? Not only are they probably hippies with no sense of privacy or consideration for others, they're also lazy. Clean up your own ******* afterbirth. It's your right to have a home birth if you really want to roll the dice with your and your baby's lives should anything go wrong (midwife or no midwife), but it's not your right to keep your neighbors awake because you refused a way to give birth that would involve pain medication. Next time, these oddballs should get a detached home where she can shoot out their junior hippie and scream her head off and no one will probably hear or care. Then call those people who come out to clean up crime scenes to take care of the mess. For a fee, not for free.
