Mom Completely Loses It When Her 14-Year-Old Daughter Brings Fake Baby Home From School
By waterbaby
After Lawren Cole Galloway's 14-year-old daughter brought home a baby, she had little sympathy for the poor girl, even though she was obviously exhausted and in tears. As a mom of four, Lawren knew exactly what it felt like to be up all night trying to comfort a crying infant, this just wasn't her problem to deal with.
Of course mom wasn't without a heart. She made sure to take plenty of pictures of her struggling daughter every chance she could get. Having a baby before she was ready for one is a lesson that Lawren felt the teen needed to learn, and doing it now while she could still give the baby back to its owner was as good a time as any.
Thankfully, the baby that daughter Olivia brought home wasn't actually a real one! It was as fake as a plastic Barbie doll, but he did have a name, and "real" needs. As mom explained on her Facebook page:
"Meet William. He’s Olivia’s interactive baby assignment for her Early Childhood Education Class. Now, meet Olivia with William. She’s had him since Friday night. She is absolutely exhausted and ready to quit the class and give William back. (Maybe even throw him back)."
Lawren said that it's been a learning experience, and her favorite moment was when Olivia came into her room at 3am, but this real-life mom wasn't having any of that!
"She was crying real tears while feeding him his bottle. She was begging me to help her because she just wanted to get some sleep. ?? Yeah, no."
Olivia is the eldest of four kids, and while the teen was shedding crocodile tears over her fake baby, mom Lawren was actually caring for a real one: her 3-week-old newborn.
By Sunday evening, William seemed to magically know when it was supper, because he started crying as if on cue the moment Lawren set the table! She told Love What Matters:
"Long story short, Olivia had to warm her plate up 3 times. His feedings were taking nearly 20 minutes, he required a burp, diaper change and about 12 minutes of rocking. After a disastrous dinner, Olivia went to take a shower. She loaded William up in his car seat and took him in the bathroom with her. She finished up rather quickly and explained that she decided to take a bath instead."
Like most new moms, Olivia discovered that she had no time for simple self-care tasks, like washing her hair. The poor girl was scared that her little boy would start crying and need her while she was in the shower!
By the time Monday rolled, Olivia couldn't wait to give William back. Unfortunately for her, Olivia didn't turn out to be mom of the year. The interactive baby recorded all of the teen mom's actions, including rocking, diapering, and feeding. She got dinged for not providing proper head support, and 3% of the time, the baby recorded instances of "rough handling."
"Olivia failed her assignment. Having siblings in NO way prepared her for what it might be like to have her own child. This assignment should be mandatory for both boys and girls in high school."
Although this hapless teen didn't quite get it right the first time around, she was given a second chance the following weekend with baby John, which is a chance that most moms never get.
