Today, the "Child Care and Development" class at my high school assigned all 50 students to carry a fake baby around school all day for a week. I can't even read a page of my notes without hearing a robotic crying noise. Today is the first day. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, for my Teen Living class, all the students got a fake baby. In order to stop the baby from crying, you have to use the bracelet they provide. I lost the bracelet. I have the baby all weekend. FML
Today, my class got baby dolls for the week to teach us how to be good parents. After school, I went to the store with my mom with the baby doll. When I got home, I realized that I left the baby doll in a shopping cart. FML
Today, after our teacher had said this class would be very important and that we should take notes, instead of writing notes, I brought a recorder to class. After class, I listened to the recording, and all I could hear was muffled voices. FML
Today, I worked my first day at a nursery. At nap time I spent about an hour trying to get all the kids to calm down and go to sleep. I'd finally got the last one to drop off, when my phone rang. Loudly. FML
Today, I emailed out class requirements for the upcoming school year. I had to include, "No toys, no bottles, no pacifiers, and children must be fully potty trained in order to attend." At least 3 parents complained. I teach second grade, and none of them is special needs. FML
Today, I had 15 teenagers literally laugh in my face when I asked them to be quiet. I'm a student teaching in a high school, which is the culmination of 2 years of my life and $20,000, and I might in fact actually hate doing it. FML
Today, I’m a high school teacher and I finally learned how to use the smartboard properly. I connected my laptop to demonstrate a lesson… and projected the last thing I had open: a half-written email complaining about how loud this exact class is. Thirty teenagers read it in silence. One kid raised his hand and said, “Fair.” FML
Today, I have to attend a mandatory parenting class due to a false report filed against me with CPS. My son's school play is at the same time as today's class, and I'll have to miss it so I can learn how to be a "better mom". FML
Today, as a natural science teacher, I was drawing a uterus on the class chalkboard. One of my students started messing around and being noisy, so I shouted, "Be quiet and check out my uterus!" FML
Today, I fell asleep in class. I'm the teacher. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

moral of the story: you only have this baby for a week and it's already driving you nuts. a real one you're stuck with for at least 18 years. DONT HAVE A BABY FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME. (:

Duct tape does wonders.
CareFace 16
Man I'd hate to be your metaphoric baby...
chinchily 12
My school just did that! Except I had to take it home for 2 nights. Duct tape does nothing. (No I didn't try, but the noise will still come out of the speaker)

How about take out the batteries instead? It's fake so something must power it..
THExistentialist 13
the back has a device that records how long you let baby cry before attending, whether or not it's turned off, etc. we would get points off for negligence and fail if we tampered with it.
lilhellian 27
Ok throw the baby against a wall and tell the teacher you realized your not ready to be a mommy/daddy.. Maybe she'll pass you for that realization! :D
HKCgrimmjow 15
Stick it in the oven!
chinchily 12
Unfortunately telling the teacher that you know your not ready, won't get you out of the project, and will make her give you a harder program. At least that's what my teacher did.
HiIAmKevin 8
I think every high school should do that project...maybe teen pregnancy will drop by a few thousand.

CareFace; Your profile photo is precious and that baby is adorable! Off topic, I know. But I simply had to say it. Thank you for being a 'CareFace' :)

When I did it, the abuse light came on because I kept laying it on its stomach. It wasn't my fault, though. My mom kept forcing me to make it cry in front of people...

I had mine for a whole weekend, and on the second night my mom couldn't take it anymore and she wrapped it in a blanket, shoved it into my dresser, shut my bedroom door and let me sleep in the living room. My neighbors called the police on me for child neglect because it screamed all night.

109, that was my exact thought. These babies are to annoy the crap out of everyone so teens will make wise decisions about sex.
LiveLoveBeatles 19
We had the same class at my old school. For the girls it was optional, but was mandatory for the guys taking the course. My friend chose to take the baby home and even volunteered to do extra and he now has a child of her own as a Junior in high school. In my opinion, I don't think it really does anything. Teens are still going to have sex, it might drop the percentage of it, but this course has been around for quite some time.

I wonder... as a big brother to a sister eight years younger than me... would I still have to take the course, even if I would have proof about my little sis and that I KNOW what this stuff is about FOR REAL? :-)
Czech_Zidane 14
And this reminds me - my friend - a girl - had a little sis FOURTEEN years younger than her. And you probably realize - every time when she came out with the baby coach, it was like "what the, who was the bast...?" until the town realized, that the baby is her sis, not a daughter :-D

Hopefully the kids in op's school won't treat the babies like the kids in the show.

Extreme baby parenting!
GothickNihilist 15
I thought of O grady. The episode in which Kevin charged people a fuckton of money, to care for the babies. There was a reset button on the back of the neck. If only real kids came with reset buttons.

Haha that used to be my favorite show, I really wish the series went on for a little longer, it made me smile :)

WAAAAAAH!!

thanks, I couldn't picture a screaming child without the help of this wonderful comment -_-.

KILL IT
BellaBelle_fml 23
It might just be me, but the way I read their comment I thought that they were making a sort of a pun as their name suggests. Like they were implying that the OP is being a baby by whining about the situation. He we the 'WAAAAAAH!!'.
BellaBelle_fml 23
Ok, where on earth the last few words of my last sentience came from I do not know, lol. It is meant to read, "Hence, the 'WAAAAAAH!!' " This is the second time this has happened to me today on this site. I'm normally pretty good in making sure I proof read every comment I post before I hit send, but apparently I am slipping in that department.

^It happens to the best of us. I've done it before, as well as, thousands of others.

I thank you for your support and understanding in my moment of crisis :)

Now, you'll get to learn what your mother did for you as an infant. Then, you'll appreciate her more!(:
Mossears133 15
Well, hopefully she wasn't still in school when she had OP :3

Not only does it piss off students who have to take care of the baby, it also pisses off other students who are in that school. Trust me I know.
ElmoSaysSquishy 28
My school does this but they mute the babies during the day. It's a bit pointless considering a real child isn't just going to remain silent between 9am-3:30pm.
usnwife 18
You also don't take a real baby to classes with you though...
riack 2
Unfortunately in college there are people that brings their infants to class

So I take it that sticking your boob in it's mouth won't work for this one, and you can't distract it with peek-a-boo either? This Is a tough one. I guess the moral issues of throwing it out the window don't apply here, so you can go ahead and do that! It'll survive. Now, if only you could rewire real babies...
gc327072 31
When I was in middle school, the ones we had would stay silent if the electronic bottle was up to its lips. So, my neighbor duct-taped the bottle to its mouth.
wlddog 14
It sounds like a simple magnet design. Try that first, then see if you can rewire it with a internal on/off switch. That way you can determine when you feel like parenting an electronic baby, and even get an basic understanding o electronics. We are the robots future, we must teach the kids while they are still in school how to properly take care of our robotic offspring.

@62 Kobayashi Maru FTW!
wlddog 14
84???? I am not a kid.... I have no idea what you are referring to. Is it a movie or something?
Ray_of_midnight 23
@89 it's a Star Trek: TOS reference, from ST II: Wrath of Khan. One of the tests at Starfleet Academy was ostensibly a simulation of rescuing a civilian vessel in distress, the Kobayashi Maru. In reality, it's set up to be a no-win situation, and is set up as such to test how the cadet will cope when faced with a no-win situation. Captain Kirk, when he was a cadet, beat the no-win simulation by hacking and reprogramming the simulator so he could win. Yes, I'm a big nerd.
wlddog 14
Oooooh that!!! I totally forgot about that. I was thinking of a Japanese comic or something. I remember that Star Trek. Just didnt know the name. Thanks.
PhilSnake22 13
I find shaking the baby violently helps.
supportcommand 17
That's very true. It usually shuts them right up. And if it doesn't, just put it outside on a tether like a dog. It will learn.
