This doctor’s witty answer is going to make you laugh hard, but this whole joke will make think whether parents trust their kids more than they are supposed to.
A woman takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor. The doctor says, “Okay, Mrs. James, what’s the problem?”
The mother says, “It’s my daughter Darla. She keeps getting these cravings, she’s putting on weight, and is sick most mornings.”
The doctor gives Darla a good examination, then turns to the mother and says, “Well, I don’t know how to tell you this, but your Darla is pregnant-about 4 months, would be my guess.”
The mother says, “Pregnant?! She can’t be, she has never ever been left alone with a man! Have you, Darla?”
Darla replies, “No mother! I’ve never even kissed a man!”
The doctor walked over to the window and just stares out it. About five minutes pass and finally the mother says, “Is there something wrong out there doctor?”
The doctor replies, “No, not really, it’s just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill. I’ll be damned if I’m going to miss it this time!”
Being a single parent is never an easy task, and anyone who had any children from a young age would know that its not a walk in the park. But one young man tried to do what he believed was the right thing, and reached out online for help. He was a 23-year-old single dad who is struggling with an unexpected reality. Disappointed as he had a lack of social life due to increased parenting responsibilities, it was hard for him to advance at work, and impossible to date anyone else new. He eventually came to the conclusion that it may be a good idea for him to put his now 2-year-old son up for adoption.
The young father had shared that he was the one who convinced his college girlfriend not to have an abortion due to his religious beliefs. He also accepted sole responsibility for their child afterwards.
After her pregnancy, he asked her not to abort the child and she reluctantly agreed but stressed that once the baby was born, it was up to him to raise their boy. He wrote in his post on Reddit: “I was graduating that year and already had a pretty well-paying job lined up so I felt that I could provide for my kid.”
However just after a mere 2 years later, and now he is starting to feel the strain of wanting to have a normal life of a young adult while raising a kid. “I just feel so tired and secluded from the world. My only friend is my son, between work and him I have no free time. All I do on my free time is go to the park with him, watch kids shows etc. My mom lives kinda far away but she visits every few months and lets me have some alone time but it’s not enough,” he wrote in a Reddit post.
He also added that due to his “parent responsibilities”, he has not been able to advance at work and was unable to date as a 23-year-old who already has a child with another woman.
Now the young father is saying that he is considering to give his boy up for adoption so that he could be raised by a “more stable family” – and users were mostly disapproving of it.
But no matter how stressful parenting can become, most do not actually arrive at this conclusion. The young man also admitted that there are only two issues which are entirely personal, and perhaps seen as selfish complaints by many. Getting personal time back is not a good reason to give up the boy for adoption at all – to them. “You signed up for this,” one person responded to his post. “I feel so angry for that child,” another person commented afterwards. Someone else even reminded him that his son “isn’t a pet”.
After reviewing comments and realising that no one was going to support his idea, the young father has since reconsidered his decision.
“I think I was just in too of a dark place to see how bad this post is and even if I got a lot of non-constructive comments that hurt, I got a lot of comments that really hit it on the nail with how bad it would be to follow through with this as well as giving me really sound advice,” he replied in an update to his previous Reddit post.
For now, the young father is going to try therapy and joining some single parent groups for help – he also plans to hire a babysitter. He added that he is going to reach out to his ex-girlfriend, though he is “pretty sure that she hasn’t changed her mind”.
“Lastly, I just want to say that I love my son and that I genuinely thought that him getting adopted by a stable family would be better for him. I can now see how that can mess him up in so many different ways. I think I might have some sort of postpartum depression that comes and goes and when I wrote this post I think I was at my lowest,” he concluded.
Therefore dear readers, what do you think the father should have done? We await your response!
Sisters’ power! Yes, that’s something real and often makes girls’ world go round.
The bond between sisters is like no other. Just imagine having your best friend by your side all along. Sharing with her your parents, your room, the clothes, and your days. That has to be priceless.
Sometimes it may happen for sisters to get jealous of one another, but eventually all of them understand that no one else out there would love them as much as their female sibling.

Allie is a 9-year-old girl who knows how much effort it takes for her mommy to put her little sister to sleep. Luckily, this adorable young lady is very considerate and always steps in when needed. Above all, she enjoys spending time with baby Ashlyn.
The sweet interaction between these two sisters has gone viral for all the right reasons.

Lovely Ashlyn is treating her big sister with the most adorable smile ever as she hears her singing.
The choice of the song just adds to the cuteness of the video. Lion King’s “Circle of Life” is what Ashlyn enjoys listening to. As for Allie, she simply can’t believe the baby’s reaction. She’s so happy that she can’t hold her tears back.

The parents are filled with joy seeing their daughters love each other so much.
“Is it because you love her that much?” her mom asks. After a moment, Allie replies: “Because she smiled at my sweet singing!”
She then continues singing only for her sister’s ears. She wants the little one to be as happy as can be.

This really can’t get any cuter. We hope the two will continue loving and caring for each other their whole life.
Life is hard anyways, but when you are a child of a police officer or a member of the army, every day is filled with a hidden feeling of anticipation of whether you parent will get back home safe and sound after they make sure everyone else is.
We’ve heard of many cases of officers losing their life while serving the country and its people so these fears are real, and they are there, and we can’t do much about them.
Meghan O’Grady is a 16-year-old teenager who knows all too well what it feels like to have a parent who is a police officer. She is however, a very compassionate young lady who does something incredible for the families of officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Facebook/Blue Line Bears
Knowing how much it would mean for the bereaved family members to have something that was sacred to the loved ones they lost, Meghan started the Blue Line Bears. This Florida girl creates bears using just a needle, a thread, and the late officer’s uniform shirts. After she hand-sews the teddy bears, she carefully delivers them to the family’s doorstep. After they have this priceless gift in their hands, all those moms, dads, spouses, and children can’t thank Meghan enough.
She is honest and says how what she does was inspired by the tragic incident when five Dallas officers lost their lives while doing their job in 2016. This planted fear in her for her father’s life and now she just learns how to live with it.
Facebook/Blue Line Bears
So far, Meghan has created 450 bears that she personally delivered to families in 34 states. Each bear has a personalized badge with the person’s last name written on it. People are praising this amazing girl and her even more amazing idea. In a video with CBS, Megan said:
“I want them to be able to kind of hold a piece of their loved one again, because the shirts are obviously the most personal part of the job other than the badge itself.”
Meghan’s organization is a non-profit one and runs with the help of donors who are supporting her good cause.
Facebook/Blue Line Bears
The families of the blue line community may not personally know each other but they live every day with the same fears, and are proud of the same achievements of their family members. All these people are connected by their hearts.
“We are all so closely related and we’re all here for each other, and I just want them to know that there are so many people out there for them who watch out for them no matter what happens and that we all genuinely love them.”
What Meghan does makes a change in the way children mourn for their parents they won’t get to hug ever again. These huggable bears provide comfort during the toughest of times.
The latest bear she created is the largest so far.
Meghan is a kind soul and a teenager like no other. Way to go young lady!
This Jennifer Lopez’s fairytale-like performance is definitely one to remember. Being one of America’s sweethearts for so long, this multi-talented singer took our breath away once again when she took the stage of American Idol. Her amazing vocal along with her very special outfit enchanted the audience around the country. People who witnessed the unique performance of “Feel The Light” from the animated movie “Home” agree that Jenny from the block is an entertainer we don’t get to see that often.
The gorgeous and pretty huge gown takes up most of the stage and perfectly fits her figure. It’s a long white dress with a fitted corseted top and shoulder straps.

It resembles a dress one would opt for if invited to a royal ball or a very special occasion, but it’s actually more than just an elegant dress. It’s a part of a big sparkly show like you’ve never seen before.
As the song goes on, the dress starts changing colors and becomes even more spectacular with every passing tone. The whiteness is now turned into dark shade filled with stars, resembling a never ending galaxy.
Now comes the best part, when the dress is completely illuminated in vibrant colors that depict scenes from the movie.
Behind this masterpiece lays God given talent and a creative mind.
“The gown is actually a dress with a 20-foot radius skirt attached to it,” explained stylist Rob Zangardi, according to Hollywood Reporter. “The look was inspired from an old vintage reference that we’ve been holding on to for a long time, waiting for the right moment.”

The dress, which was made from fabric from International Silks & Woolens in L.A., actually came in two pieces.
“There was the dress by Misha that gave us the top silhouette and the giant skirt was then placed over that,” explained Lopez’s other stylist for this look Mariel Haenn.
Lopez simply fell in love with this stunning creation.
“It wasn’t until she stepped in and we took her picture in it and showed her how she looked in it that we got the ‘wow’ reaction!” said Haenn. “We were hoping to be able to make a dress that was stunning on its own but also simple enough to allow the animation and projection to be as functional as possible.”

The magical images that were projected on the bottom part of the gown were mapped days before the performance to make sure they perfectly attach the skirt.
“We wanted this to be spectacular yet elegant,” Zangardi added.
This is really something very unique and worth watching.
The advance of technology creates device addicted generations that cannot function without their phones. The worst part is that many are using them while driving, which may result in life-threatening situations. Talking on the phone while behind the wheel affects drivers’ ability to respond to hazard and texting while driving is illegal in almost every state, but people still do it.
The recent accident that took place because of a cell phone usage led to the loss of the life of 17-year-old Katelyn Ray.
The tragic news left her family in disbelief. They couldn’t accept the fact that their sister and daughter was gone.
According to the police’s official report, the tragedy struck on September 5, while the teenager was driving on a highway in Panola County, Mississippi when she crushed in a school bus. Luckily, none of the students suffered any injuries, but sadly, Katelyn died on the spot.
What was supposed to be an ordinary day where this girl would pick her sister up from work and the two would have a fun day together, turned into the worst day of the life of the Ray family.
The Chester County Sheriff’s Office posted photos of the accident on their Facebook page as a warning to others of the tragic outcome of using a cellphone while driving.
“***PAY ATTENTION!!*** The driver of the car was 17 years old,” the post read. “No black marks because she never hit the brakes and she still had the cell phone in her hand when they removed her from the car.”
“I said don’t forget to pick your sister up. She said OK. Love you. And I said I love you too,” Katelyn’s mother Shelia Ray explained.
These are the words she will never forget because that was the last thing she said to her daughter before she died.
“We’ve been trying to call her and call her, no answer and then I got a phone call from the highway patrol, that said she had been really bad car accident,” Ray said.
“I get off work at seven o’clock and that’s when I got worried because she wasn’t there, Katelyn’s sister, Courtney Pettit, said. So, I gave her maybe 10 to 15 minutes. She may have stopped somewhere got her something to eat or something. About 7:30 a.m. when she wasn’t there, that’s when we started worrying,” she added.
EXCLUSIVE – The family of 17 yr old Katelyn Ray provided me with this picture of her. Ray was killed in a school bus crash in South Panola County today. She was a proud aunt and working on her GED. RIP. pic.twitter.com/rVyrdviLAv
The big sister got worried so much that she posted on Facebook asking if someone has seen Katelyn. They hoped that someone would call them and tell them she was fine, but instead, they got the call that changed their lives forever.
“We don’t know what situation she was in, but when you look at that car, you can only think the worse,” said Stephanie Pettit, Katelyn’s aunt.
Katelyn Ray was proud aunt and she was taking GED classes at the WIN Job Center.
“A happy person like she was just happy, outgoing, bubbly. She loved hanging out with friends and family,” her sister said. “She was outgoing. She loved life, she loved her family.”
She only had her driver licence for two months before the crash took place.
What has happened to this young girl is beyond tragic. She was full of life and had a bright future ahead of her, and it was all lost because of one bad decision. That of using her phone while she was driving her car.
Our condolences go to the Ray family. Stay strong.

Being a mom is not easy. Constantly making sure your little one is getting the right amount of attention while doing a bunch of other errands along the way has to be really tiring. Above all, young kids go through stages while growing up and they are all likely to turn into “mean little” humans that “enjoy” throwing tantrums and getting things their way no matter what it takes. Hopefully, this doesn’t last long. The thing is that no matter how hard you try, sometimes it’s impossible to cope with your naughty child’s behavior.
It’s even more devastating when the tiny humans decide to misbehave in public. Most of the time parents feel embarrassed and are secretly judged by the passersby who believe they sort of failed at parenting.
A mom who was traveling from Portland to L.A with her 18-month-old boy while pregnant with her other child knows this all too well. Fellow passenger Beth Dunnington recalls what happened when the boy experienced a meltdown while waiting to board the plane. This time, however, no one regarded this mom a “bad” parent. On the contrary, strangers stepped in and made sure the little one was all good.
“A toddler who looked to be eighteen or so months old was having a total meltdown, running between the seats, kicking and screaming, then lying on the ground, [and] refusing to board the plane,” Dunnington wrote on Facebook.
Dunnington wrote how the young mom was all puzzled and had no idea what to do as her boy took the terminal for his personal playground.
“She couldn’t pick him up because he was so upset, he kept running away from her, then lying down on the ground, kicking and screaming again,” she wrote.
“The mother finally sat down on the floor and put her head in her hands, with her kid next to her still having a meltdown, and started crying.”
And as both the boy and his mother were sobbing, things took a different turn.
“… (I’m crying just writing this) … the women in the terminal, there must have been six or seven of us, not women who knew each other, approached and surrounded her and the little boy and we knelt down and formed a circle around them,” she wrote.
The strangers knew they had to help the struggling mom calm her child down so they approached and did their best to entertain the boy. Dunnington herself sang to him “The Itsy Bitsy Spider,” while another one peeled him an orange. As for the rest, one of them gave the boy a toy she took out of her bag, and the other one gave the mommy some water. They all did what they knew best.
“It was so gorgeous, there was no discussion and no one knew anyone else, but we were able to calm them both down, and she got her child on the plane,” she wrote. “Only women approached.”
They all boarded the plane eventually and took their seats without discussing what had happened. Well, it seems that it really takes a village to raise a child.
“We were strangers, gathering to solve something. It occurred to me that a circle of women, with a mission, can save the world,” she wrote. “I will never forget that moment.”
It was back in 2017 when young Angelica Hale’s out-of-this-world talent captured the attention of the audience worldwide. Even those who are not fans of competition shows made sure they are in front of the TV when it was her turn to wow the world over and over again.
Her part in the America’s Got Talent series was one of a kind, and despite being a runner-up during the competition, she finished second.
The good news? Angelica is back and we get to enjoy her amazing vocal a bit longer. Competing along the rest of the champions, among which Susan Boyle, Angelica has a lot to offer at the spin-off series that garnered heaps of attention. All eyes are on AGT: The Champions.
Little Angelica made history with her stunning performance of “Fight Song.” The 11-year-old prodigy got a Golden Buzzer for a second time, a reward given by the judges that saves the best acts from being eliminated. Judge Howie Mandel was so overwhelmed by her act that he just had to reward her.
“When people show up on this show, the level of competition is much higher. Just by the title, you are amongst champions. You show up and you ripped the ceiling off this theater. That was your fight song and if I can do anything, I am going to help you win this fight,” he commented after Angelica’s performance.
The young girl couldn’t believe what had just happened and burst into tears, saying:
“I can’t believe this is actually happening to me. I never expected this to happen. I wanted to thank you so much. This is a dream come true.”
All the judges agree how this very special girl has in her what it takes to be a champion. Describing her as a “firecracker” and a remarkable performer, she is likely to reach for the stars.
She is indeed our favorite. You can watch her performance for yourself, if you haven’t seen it so far.
