Today, after hours of trying to put a screaming baby to sleep, she finally fell asleep in my arms. I was so happy. Then, I got the hiccups. FML

When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, after battling for hours to get just a little sleep before my early morning work shift, I finally began drifting off. Then I got the worst attack of hiccups in my life. FML
Today, after finally breaking my addiction to sleeping pills, right as I was drifting off to sleep at my first decent drug-free time in over 4 years... I got the hiccups. FML
Today, my boyfriend tried to rid me of my hiccups. As he'd screamed at me and I'd pissed my pants, I just burst into tears. FML
Today, I finally got my fussy newborn back to sleep after the creaking of my chair woke her. I then crept two rooms over and opened a pack of chips, the crinkle of which woke her again. FML
Today, I tripped and fell, damaging my sternum and making it incredibly painful to breathe in or out too much. About ten minutes later, I got the hiccups. FML
Today, after two hours, I finally got my very cranky, sick baby to fall asleep. Five minutes later, a neighbor started shooting off fireworks. FML
Today, the nine year old girl I was babysitting got the hiccups, so I told her to drink some water upside down to cure them. She ended up vomiting on the floor. FML
Today, after I finished giving my baby a bottle then burping her, I lifted her up and was bringing her in for kisses. As I was doing this, I felt this warm liquid hit my lips and slide into my mouth. I instantly pulled her back and she'd vomited. It took everything out of me not to vomit myself. FML
Today, my 10-month-old kept me up all night after a gruelling day. I finally fell asleep with her at about 2 a.m., and I woke up half an hour later to her hands on my throat, and her biting my nose. Startled, I took a big breath through my nose and snorted an ungodly amount of slobber. I’m awake now. FML
Today, my hiccups got so intense that I threw up in the middle of class. FML

Alright teenagers, listen up. Whenever you start acting obnoxious. Just remember that your parents did THIS for you because they love you. Always remember that.

The **** your life button virtually means the same thing without wasting precious comment space.
DocBastard 38
You realise there's also a thumbs down button, right? If you think comment space is so precious, just thumb her down and move on. And now I'm part of the problem. Damn you!!

Yeah I can't stand crying babies especially like in a movie or plane.
SuperDanielNL 23
Plane blows hard, when there are like 4 of them aboard, they cry and wake eachother up. That's my vision off hell, an infinitly long flight, with to little leg room, a crazy sweaty guy next to you and a couple of babies aboard. But why would someone bring a baby to the movies, then you're a sadistic bastard.

You don't say.

In case you haven't noticed, #12, a lot of parents are narcissistic ***** who think that their little darlings are just so cute when they're screaming and running around a restaurant like little Visigoths. And they don't want to be separated from them, so they come to an R-rated movie or a fancy schmancy restaurant. I don't fly much, but the possibility of a screaming child on a plane is why I always bring my iPod with me. As long as they aren't too close, it's not too painful.

I can only imagine every time you hiccup, the baby jumps in your lap. Good luck OP

My parents got the hiccups?

My mom still did that when I was a teenager.

I would literally take my baby's pacifier to stop myself from crying.
SuperDanielNL 23
I heard that driving around in your car with the baby might work.
southernbelle_rn 16
Unless she's like my little girl and hates being in the back of the car by herself! A lot of them hate that, especially cause they're backwards and can't tell what's going on.

Car rides worked like a charm for my nieces and nephews. The problem was getting their sleeping bodies from the car to their beds without them waking up again.
TheDrifter 23
I used to just park in the garage (it's temperature controlled), recline my seat, and sleep in the car. It's a much better option than waking the little ones up again. For years, every time they got in the car they fell asleep, worked like a charm for road trips.

Water for you, car ride for her. Being a parent is hard work. Hang tight, OP.

Aw, colic is the worst. My niece has colic and screams for hours. Try something called gripe water. It sounds silly but it totally works!
southernbelle_rn 16
Yes, it does. She'll like the flavored kind, apple, too.

I heard soy milk does too
