It is quite cold this time of year.

14- She didn't say she was in the class. She just said that class assigned the students with the babies.

They might not be taking the class - other people might though and be carrying babies around school and disrupting everything. The babies around school - although maybe designed to put you off/realise how hard it is, is a bit unrealistic though isn't it? I mean if you had a baby you wouldn't go to school with it, you would find someone to look after it wouldn't you?

Good point, #21 and #23.

What if people would hire a babysitter for the fake baby... Imagine the face of the babysitter, must be priceless.

Not really, we had a class that we had those ridiculous electronic babies for when I was in high school, and it was a core health class, we didn't choose it and couldn't skip it. :/

When we did it in highschool teachers made us leave them outside the classroom. And outside the school library.

Only 18 years? I'll have you know that I'm 35 and I still cry robotically to my parents whenever they're trying to study their high school notes.

I love your comment DropBearMeat :D

25- then give it a thumbs up, don't comment

Yeah, but it was hilarious so I thought a simple thumbs up wouldn't suffice.

78; Why didn't you follow your own advice and simply give them a thumbs down and not comment?

114- I knew someone would say that. But lately I keep seeing people saying "I love your comment" "haha that comment is funny" when it really isn't necessary.

Mine was a potato -- less likely to go bad, or to make a horrible mess if someone jostled you in the hallway.

In our school they still give out eggs

they dont cry.. but I hear they make an awful mess when the old lady next door hurls em at you from her window

Nowadays, I see it as a great lesson as to why you shouldn't become a parent so young.

They have to make up for the lack of real poop with more crying.

Count your lucky stars that your children weren't colic. Some will not be as lucky as you. And yes, it may not be realistic but you can at least learn about your patience before considering becoming a parent.(:

We had the raw eggs. Teacher kind of tossed mine on my desk....and off it rolled. Many bandaids for my eggy offspring there. I now have 2 kids and am a fulltime college student with a husband working out of town most of the time. Dear god....just...I still count the years, the many many years until I have my Phd...

It's lucky that you have resource to afford or family/friends to help with the baby. Teen parents often do not. My own son went through a phase, while I was in college, where he would only sleep 20 minutes at a time and screamed while awake. I did the crying doll in high school. It was but a mere glimpse of motherhood.

My second was extremely colicky, 3 hrs strait screaming a night. But when she slept it was at least 2-3 hrs at a time. We live far from family and friends, but we cut out what we have to so we can afford daycare so I can get my degree, and actually learn what I need to. Family of 5 on a military salary isn't easy, but we prioritize and make it work

my family lives far away. Friends all work or in school. We had to save for years for me to go back to school and to afford daycare. We also budget carefully to be able to keep being able to afford this. Also the reason why husband has a high stress, away from home job. At night, isolation due to kids in bed asleep, babysitters are expensive so I never go out. A lot of sacrifices but, the end goal to add to family finances and quality of living, and to show children what can be achieved....better be damn worth it lol

The hardship is worth it. I wouldn't trade being a mom for anything. But - those dolls are great if they make someone realise how not ready they are to take on parenting. Babies are cute - motherhood (parenthood, really) is not.

my kids I would never trade despite the stress of trying balance my classes and labs around daycare and school schedules, and massive homework plus ensuring the children get one on one time and attention. There is never ever any mommy time. If those dolls help bring that message home to just how difficult life is with a baby...it is for grownups that plan for them! Then all the power to them. Much better than abstinence only education which jist leaves the poor kids in the dark about....everything.

Very realistic depending on the kid! I screamed pretty much straight for the first six months of my life because of colic and food allergies. My parents had to look after me in shifts so that they could get some sleep.
