I hate this.

I have a "baby simulator " from my school that cries at random times for 24 hours. It is sooooo annoying and cried 3 times already since 7:00 this morning (eastern time.) The way they do this cruel and unusual punishment is tie a key to a wristband on you that is impossible to get off without cutting it. If you cut it, you fail. When it cries you have to pick it up while holding it's head so you don't lose 10 points for a neck snap and turn a key in the stupid thing. You hold the key in there for 1-30 minutes until it coos. It hurts your wrist after a while and you can't do anything about it. You also have to keep it perfectly upright or in a car seat. I am going to be up aaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllll night so if you guys and gals could give me a heads up to what will be on tv tonight that'll be great. I'll be posting my progress on here during the day.

Welcome to parenthood. At least you have a key!
Try walking the floor all night with a baby who is screaming & hasn't slept more than 15 min at a time for 3 days!

Think of this as a learning experience..........

A learning experience to me is watching Paris Hilton learn "The Simple Life", not having a robot baby cry in your ear while you try to go to sleep.

And do you think that you magically turn a real baby off at night?
Welcome to the real world.

You've got that right tigsmom - real kids don't come with an off switch. Think of this experience the next time you're out on a date!

Ya can't kill a robot baby. I'm 13 for god's sake! I'm not just gonna go around having babies! I'm a nerd on a Disney website and 1 of my least interests is having a baby. So here's the list of when it cried:
7th period (around 12:00 est)
8th period (around 1;00 est) due to a neck snap by some dirtbag
and 3:00 est

I'm looking forward to having one of these in the house next year when Lil'mermaid take Parenting as a health class.

(what do I do with the dog who hates to hear a baby cry?)

We had to do that last year, but it was OPTIONAL to take the mecha-baby home. I decided not to take one home, and I think I made the right choice.

I take it you have never babysitted in your life. Try having to babysit twin three month olds then tell me how you like your robot baby...

I was just reading through that website you linked to.

The infant simulator is a lifelike, life-size (20 1/2 inches) vinyl baby weighing 6.5 pounds. It is anatomically correct and available in both sexes and five different ethnicities.


Is it just me or is that a bit too far?

No, you know how the world is. Very PC.

Stupid political correctness. Because of it I can't go to the store and buy Plain M&M's anymore. I have to get "Milk Chocolate M&M's". And that's not a milk shake, that's a frozen dairy dessert with chocolate flavoring.

It's how it is. Mine is a white *clears throat* caucasian male but it or he is about a foot tall. It weighs about 15 lbs including the car seat.

CRIED AT 5:30 est

All I have to say is welcome to life and the reason they are doing this type of stuff to younger kids is cause of the younger ones haveing babies themselves ...thank some of your peers....sorry spoken truth...thats what i am learning in college right now...

Im sorry I still dont feel any sympathy for ya. Look what you get to expect when you are a lot older and really are a parent. Believe me those dolls only cry for a while, while the real ones cry for hours upon hours and such like that. :dazzle:

Truer words were never spoken - this is a lesson you need to learn before it becomes a new way of life.

Looks like someone isn't the king of nonchalant at the moment :lookaroun

Me: sung/cried to the tune of Brahm's Lullaby...
Go to sleep, go to sleep, Oh please go to sleep.
Mommys tired, go to sleep, oh PLEASE go to sleep.

Just wait till you have a baby with colic & they don't eat or sleep for days on end. Please try to learn something from this. Its not a dumb assignment.

HINT: Very useful for a crying baby: wrap in a nice warm blanket. Put the baby in a laundry basket (yes, a basket) and place it on top of the dryer. Turn the dryer on and let it rock the baby to sleep. (STAY with the baby). My pediatrician told me this one & it really works. :wave:

i dunno
this seems like a highschool activity...not one for a 13 year old...

when i was in hs, we didnt have these high teck crying machines
just eggs or bags of flour
either way...kids still broke them


have fun with your baby and um just think of it this way...
they're trying to discourage kids your age from having real ones
take the hint and be good:lol:
