Great detective work, you found my wife’s account. Get a life

Means a lot, thank you

thanks, ya I actually set out for this site to be clean, apolitical satire about kids and parenting. a friend suggested this idea for an article and while i’m personally liberal, i can see humor in both sides. I by no means means aspire to be like babylon bee. There is, unfortunately, a ton of negativity in this sub dedicated to humor.

dude i run this website by myself as a side hobby and google adsense doesn’t come close to covering the monthly web hosting so i am definitely too cheap to pay an artist at this point. I’d love to pay an artist someday if it were to make money

it is in that style for sure. It’s the first political article I wrote for the site so I’m interested to see how it goes!

Haha yes I could see that being confusing if you’re looking at the current pic 😁

Thank god I wasn’t that dumb, I would have died from embarrassment

I 100% agree so it makes this story even better.

A friend and his wife were at a social event and his wife was very early in pregnancy, they had only told their parents at this point. A 70-something year old man in a suit walks up to them out of the blue and says congratulations. They are taken aback because they didn’t even consider him referring to the pregnancy. He goes on to say he is a retired obstetrician and because of years of experience can just tell.

Ballsy move by the doc but he sure did know his stuff.

He was very embarrassed but it very well could have not been for him personally. Either way it was a dumbass thing to say!

He was very embarrassed and went for the adult diapers. My 17 year old gangly, awkward self didn’t help the situation at all either.

In highschool I worked at a pharmacy. 30-something man looks lost so I ask him if I can help him find something. He says diapers and I assume he’s a father so I stupidly say “the adult ones are right down there but you don’t need those ha ha, the baby diapers are down aisle 1”

You can guess the rest of the story…

5 y/o, 2y/o and a dog here, I feel your pain! 😆

You’re right, I forgot to include events that test parents’ sanity and mental fortitude. That would really break the parents that are skating through the events due to their natural athletic ability.

due to feedback, i ditched the AI image and replaced it with a stock photo. I’ll add an Edit note to the post to make sure its more clear.

no i understood! i started it with a ‘thank you’ but i could see how you could think that. I obviously am fluent in sarcasm or i wouldn’t have this website.

Hey thanks for the feedback.

I think you’re severely underestimating how much AI is used in what you read daily that is not disclosed. I assure you writers at Reuters, Fox News, The Onion, etc use AI to assist in writing/editing articles. (emphasis on assist as myself nor any respected journalist would copy/paste a whole AI article). Every company is leveraging AI tools and I run this website by myself so of course I will too. Even both my wife and my corporate jobs at different companies have both had presentations on how to use AI effectively and safely for our jobs.

AI isn’t nuanced enough for satire but I find it very helpful taking my ideas and helping form it into the formulaic style of a news article.

I try to use free stock photos for my articles unless I have a hard time finding a match then I use AI. Thanks for pointing that out, I missed that - I’ll switch the picture to a stock photo

ty, i’d love to pay for custom art/photos for articles someday but the website is just run by myself as a side hobby so needing to use the free options for now.

It’s my website and sorry to hear you don’t like it. I found there are niche satire onion-like websites for many different topics such as sports, concerts, gaming, etc but none for parenting so I’m giving it a shot.

I have a hard time finding free stock photos for my articles at times so sometimes I use AI. Apologies Edit: I’ll follow what the votes say and change the pic to the stock photo I was originally considering, thanks for the feedback
