Boeing 737 mysteriously spotted in random field and no one knows how it got there

Bali, a province of Indonesia and the westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands, is without a doubt one of the most breathtaking places on Earth. It represents a magical blend of cultures, people, nature, activities, weather, culinary delights, nightlife, and a lot more. The fun and sun seekers describe it as the paradise on Earth, and we have to agree with them.

Despite all its natural beauties, there is something else that serves as a tourist attraction in Bali. Believe it or not, it is an abandoned Boeing 737 which simply appeared beside the Raya Nusa Dua Selatan Highway, resting in a limestone quarry. The truth is that no one really knows how the Boeing ended up there, and locals have different stories to tell about it.

Some believe that the plane was brought up in parts and later put together in the deserted location by an entrepreneur who wanted to turn it into a restaurant but then let go of the idea.

However, this isn’t the only abandoned Boeing in the area. Another one lies beside a Dunkin’ Donuts location and just like the first one, this one is a tourist attraction as well.

As this second one is quite easy to locate, the first one is surrounded by a bunch of ship containers and you need a guide to take you to it.

The plane has no branding on it and another legend attached to it says that it used to serve as someone’s home. It landed on the island in 2007 but only started serving as a tourist attraction 11 years later.

In 2021, the residents of Bali noticed yet another jet which is placed on the top of a cliff at the Nyang-Nyang beach.

For this one, it is knows that it belongs to a Russian guy named Felix Demin, who landed the plane there to attract tourists and awake their curiosity. He hopes the place would become a popular spot for photographers and plans to convert it into tourist accommodation.

However, no matter how good Demin’s idea might sound to some, others believe the plane placed atop the cliff could ruin the sea view.

For more on these abandoned planes check out the video below.

In case you visit Bali and you want to see the Boeing 737 and the rest of the abandoned planes, Tony Dunnell, spokesperson for Atlas Obscura, has a few tips and tricks to share. “The view of the plane is obstructed from the highway, so you need to keep your eyes open, or you could easily miss it. When you come across a wall of sea containers on the side of the road, you have arrived. You can see the plane by climbing up onto the containers that surround it. Or, for a better view, head slightly further down the road where you’ll find a path that leads up above the plane. You’ll have to pay a small fee to enter, as the plane is on private property,” he said.

After Anne Heche’s death details preceding the tragic car crash surface

Actress Anne Heche was switched off life support days after she was pronounced brain death following the accident she suffered on Friday, August 5. She was driving her blue Mini Cooper when she crashed into a home in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Heche’s crash caused a huge fire which took 59 firefighters around 60 minutes to put under control. She remained in coma the entire time before her family made the decision to “peacefully” take her off life support.

As she had always been a supporter of organ donation, the family waited for a suitable donor recipient to be found before they said the final goodbye.

Shortly after she was taken to the hospital following the tragic accident, Heche’s blood was tested and the results showed presence of narcotics in her bloodstream. However, it would take weeks before further analysis help determine what types of drugs it is and to rule out any substances that were administered to her in the hospital. At the time, LAPD Officer Jeff Lee spoke of Heche’s case and explained that “her blood showed signs of impairment and that is why it is now being investigated as a felony traffic collision.”

However, now that she died, there will be no further investigative efforts made in this case, as reported by LAPD.

“Any information or records that have been requested prior to this turn of events will still be collected as they arrive as a matter of formalities and included in the overall case,” they said.

“When a person suspected of a crime expires [dies], we do not present for filing consideration.”

Preceding the accident which cost her her life, Heche appeared in a since-deleted episode of her podcast Better Together, which she co-hosts with Heather Duffy, in which she claimed to have been drinking vodka “with wine chasers” after being “rocked” by a “very bad day,” as reported by ET.

Since the episode aired on Friday, mere hours before the car crash, many believed it was Heche’s drinking and her bad day that had to do with the tragedy. The producer of the podcast, however, claimed that the episode was filmed earlier that week.

As reported by TMZ, Heche’s fatal crash was her third for the evening. According to the site, she first crashed into the garage of an apartment complex and when some of the residents tried to take her out of the vehicle, she went reverse and sped off. A video shows that she nearly crashed into a woman who was walking on the sidewalk while speeding down an alley. Heche’s car didn’t seem to slow down nor the actress made an attempt to swerve in an effort to avoid hitting the woman, who was left in a state of shock.

The third and final crash was when Heche’s Mini Cooper made an impact with the house.

We are very sorry for the loss of such an incredible actress. May she rest in peace.

Boy, 8, coughs for FIVE years before doctors find toy logged in his throat

An 8-year-old boy named Marley Enjakovic has spent five long years struggling to breath properly. His parents took him to a bunch of doctors who ran a bunch of tests, and all they could say was that this boy suffered from allergies and even astma, thus he was given medications for those conditions.

Sadly, his breathing didn’t improve. On the contrary, he kept coughing without stopping and couldn’t do any sports because of that.

As his symptoms only worsened in the period of five years, since he first started experiencing them, he was one day urgently admitted to the ICU. It was then that doctors discovered what was causing the coughing. Apparently, Marley swallowed a plastic toy, a tiny flower, that got stuck in his throat and stayed there for five long years. He was operated on and doctors managed to take the arts-and-crafts plastic flower out.

The boy’s mother, Skye, said her son had started to have coughing fits while he ate but as time went on he coughed ‘for hours upon hours’ and ‘it was getting scary.’

When they finally learned what caused Marley’s severe breathing problems, his family was shocked but relieved at the same time.

“I was absolutely shocked. but also really relieved, to be honest, because out of all these years I finally had an answer,” mom Skye said.

“My main concern at that point in time was that he was actually born with that condition.”

“Because if he was born with it, he would have had other issues. To know it was caused by a foreign body, it was a slight bit of relief for me.

“My message to other parents is that if you feel like there is something wrong, just keep pushing for it. 

“I am so glad I did because it means I have him today.”

We are so happy everything turned out for the best for this sweet boy and he can finally live his life to the fullest.

Woman gets $2,500 fine for bringing half-eaten sandwich from Singapore to Australia – ‘I didn’t think I’d done anything wrong’

How much money are you willing to pay for a sandwich? We all know all too well that this fast-food speciality is many people’s favorite, and that includes a woman named Jessica Lee from Australia. Little did this woman know, however, that her half-eaten Subway sandwich would cost her $2,534.

If you wonder how this is even possible, stay with us and hear this woman’s story.

As it turns out, Lee was taking a flight from Singapore to Australia when she felt like having something to eat. So, she got herself a sandwich while transiting through Changi Airport. She ate half of it and decided to keep the other half in case she got hungry again. What happened next is crazy, to say the least.

Exhausted and eager to get back home, she totally forgot about her sandwich. So, the moment she landed in Australia, she was given a A$2,664 (S$2,534) fine because according to the Australian Border Force, food items brought into Australia have to be declared on one’s incoming passenger card and they might also be inspected by biosecurity officers.

Passengers who fail to declare or make false declaration may face a fine of up to A$2,664 for breaching the Biosecurity Act, a spokesperson for the the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry in Australia told News.com.au and added that “All meat products and vegetables must be declared on the Incoming Passenger Card,” calling it a legal declaration.

The spokesperson explained that passenger are reminded of this by the messages printed all over the airports.

Lee, however, said she didn’t feel like she did anything wrong.

Apparently, the problem with Lee’s half-eaten sandwich was that it contained lettuce, which is fresh produce.

Once she shared a video in which she spoke of the incident on TikTok, it vent viral and many believed she didn’t deserve to be fined. Lee on the other hand admitted that it was an oversight on her part and said, “I am very aware this is my mistake and I do take ownership, I am paying the fine. Just an emotional video.” 

As the story went viral, it reached to Subway Australia after someone tagged them in the comments and just days latter, the company “worked magic” and sent Lee a package containing a A$2,664 (S$2,534) gift card, along with some Subway merchandise.

“We hope this covers your chicken and lettuce needs,” the company wrote.

‘Jesse’ from ‘Free Willy’ is now 42 years old and still works as an actor

Free Willy became a high-grossing film widely loved by the audience, and the reasons for that were plenty. This masterpiece, which turned into a classic, taught us all about love, friendship, and the underwater world. At the same time, it raised awareness of wild animals held in captivity, thus melted the hearts of millions of people worldwide. The film grew into a franchise, with a television series and two sequels.

The role of the orphaned boy, Jesse, who befriended the orca was played by child actor Jason James Richter.

This young boy turned into a star almost overnight and received plenty of awards, including the Young Artist Award for Best Leading Young Actor in a Feature Film.

Speaking of the enormous success and the celeb status he earned, Richter told IconvsIcon in 2018, ”I had no clue. It was my first film and I never had any idea of if it would be a success or not. It was amazing to make! Like I said, it was my first film and when you are a kid, you don’t see any of the ugly stuff that happens on set and it’s a positive experience. Everybody who worked on that movie was great and I have totally fond memories of them.”

With his mom being an actress herself, it was natural for Richter to follow into her footsteps. He was never forced into anything, acting was simply something he loved and dreamed of ever since he was just a child. “I’ve been watching these people do this. I know all these words, so I could do that too!” he recalled telling his mom one day.

When he auditioned for the role of Jesse, there were around 4000 children his age who wanted it as well. But Richter was something special. Producer Lauren Shuler-Donner, who cast the unknown Richter, said in 1995, “He’s a young Steve McQueen.”

Meeting Keiko, the orca which played Willy, for the first time was something Richter could never forget. “You don’t see the danger. At 11 years old, you’re just like, ‘Oh my God, a whale! That’s amazing! This will be awesome!’ Had I been 17, I might have been like, ‘Hey, this thing is going to bite my hand off,’ but when you’re 11 you’re just like, ‘Oh, wow. Cool. Let me touch it,’” Richter told Daily Beast in 2013.

Once the movie was released, millions of people donated to the Save the Whales Foundation, whose number was shown on the credits list, and $20 million were raised.

Richter, who became a teen star, moved on to other projects, including guest appearances on “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch,” “Rugrats” and “The Client.”

However, after appearing in Free Willy 3: The Rescue, he decided to leave Hollywood because he felt that he needed a break. He was 18 at the time.

Richter turned to music and performed with various bands before joining Fermata as a bassist.

However, as years went by, he felt nostalgic about acting and guest-starred on “Bones” and ”Criminal Minds.”

In 2013, Richter had his directorial debut with the short film “The Quiet Loud.” He loves working behind the cameras as much as he wants to be in front of it.

In 2017, the actor landed a role in “Last Rampage,” an American crime drama film. Most recently, he starred in “The Little Things,” and “Last Call.”

Richter, who is now 42 years old, runs a podcast together with Dustin Burford, “The Richter Scale,” where they discuss ”random crap from around the world.” He has a net worth of $500,000.

Reaching stardom as such a young age isn’t always easy, but Richer did know how to handle his fame and is still doing what he loves, and that’s being part of the film industry.

Nobody recognizes her now – After her son’s passing terrible days followed for the great actress

Building a career in the world of film and reaching stardom didn’t come easy for actress Linda Gray, who portrayed the legendary role of Sue Ellen Ewing in the hit show Dallas.

In fact, this woman’s life has been filled with both excitement and a number of obstacles, as well as a personal tragedy that changed her forever.

Source: Youtube/Topcelebs

Raised in Culver City, California, Linda was given the chance to spend a bunch of time around the filming studios and it was something she loved. At the same time, she imagined herself working at those places and that’s how she knew she wanted to become an actress.

Linda’s father was a cold person, but he always supported her dreams. Her mother on the other hand was a heavy alcoholic who was under the influence most of the time.

Not surprisingly, Linda didn’t have it easy growing up around her mom.

After starring in commercials and landing minor roles, Linda finally got her big breakthrough with the classic TV series Dallas. She appeared in total of 308 episodes and played alongside Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy.

Linda, who is a recipient of two Golden Globe Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award, went through a personal tragedy in 2020 when she lost her son Jeff Thrasher, who followed into her footsteps and opted for a career in the film industry where he worked as a director and producer. His most recent project was The Junior Chef Showdown, a Canadian reality cooking competition television series, which premiered in 2020 on Food Network Canada.

Among the rest, Jeff worked on the production of the shows The Amazing Race Canada and Canada’s Smartest Person. He directed Furze World Wonders in 2017.

Linda had a hard time coping with the loss. Shortly after his passing, she posted a tribute on the social media, writing, “A celebration of my son Jeff’s life. He was the kindest, funniest, sweetest human being….. he brought the world such love and was loved by everyone! May his journey be a magical one.”

Ever since Jeff’s passing, she wasn’t seen in the public often. Recently, however, she was spotted walking a cart with her glasses on and a visibly aged face. It is obvious that the tragedy took its toll when it comes to how she feels and looks like.

Linda, who will be 82 this year, lives a quiet life in the Valencia suburbs of California, where she owns a farm.

We are so very sorry for Linda Gray’s loss.

In a touching video he shared on YouTube, Jeff could be heard saying that a wonderful thing happened to him. With tears of joy running down his cheeks, he explained how the members of the church lined up to tip him. He received $700. He simply couldn’t believe that complete strangers could step in for him in such manner.

Needless to say, his video has been seen by thousands of people who said that it was obvious his words of gratitude were genuine. He wasn’t afraid to show his happiness.

Being in the middle of a process of recovery from drug abuse, this gesture meant the world to this young man.

“I’ve been going through a hard time lately, trying to make a living. I’m amazed to see that people who don’t know me wanted to help me at all costs!” Jeff concluded.

Many people commented on the video because they felt the urge to send Jeff best wishes. “Hope you get clean and turn your life around man. Wishing you nothing but the very best,” one person wrote, while another added, “Stay clean my friend, join that church. God wants you there.”

Daycare teacher leaves a spiteful note in 5-year-old’s lunch box

Francesca Esdon is a loving and caring mom of a five-year-old boy named Kyler. She loves her boy to the moon and back and makes sure she reminds him of that every single day.

One day, before she left him at the Rocking Horse Daycare Center in Texas, she placed a note inside his lunch box which asked from the staff to remind Kyer that his mom is thinking about him and that she loves him.

Seeing the note, Kyler’s teacher decided to write a comment on it. But it wasn’t a nice one. On the contrary, the words she decided to put on Francesca’s note were disrespectful and hurtful, to say the least.

With a black thick ink, the teacher wrote: “No, put him on a diet and go away!” as an answer to Francesca’s message to her boy.

When she picked Kyler up from daycare and took a look at the note, Francesca was in disbelief. She couldn’t possibly understand how could a teacher write such a mean comment.

The following day, she asked to talk to the principal and explained how her feelings were hurt by the teacher’s message. Further, she alerted them of the teacher’s Facebook profile which contained references to drugs, alcohol, and other inappropriate content. 

Eventually, the teacher was fired, but Francesca didn’t receive an apology.

Speaking to ABC7 News, this mother explained how she didn’t feel like her son was safe at the daycare so she decided to send him to another one.

Mom’s belly won’t stop growing, people don’t believe her when she says how many babies are inside

Because of one reason or another, many people believe that they have the right to judge others without ever trying to walk a mile in their shoes.

Most times, the negative comments we make about others cause pain and affect their self-esteem, but are we really aware of that?

Eliana Rodriguez, who had a daughter, was expecting her second bundle of joy. She and her husband were over the moon.

In anticipation of holding her baby in her arms, Eliana decided to document her journey by posting plenty of photos of herself and her bump on the social media. She was eager to show her friends and followers how her pregnancy was going, but instead, she faced hard times because of what people had to say of her appearance while pregnant.

One thing was certain, her belly was pretty unique and unlike any other belly most people have ever seen.

For one, her stomach was quite big which made many assume that she was in fact carrying twins or ever triplets. Many even advised her to go and check whether doctors missed spotting another baby.

People said things like, “You are huge” “Why does her stomach look like that?” “Omg it was just one baby???????” and “It’s like she doesn’t have ANY stomach muscles to support the weight of the baby.”

Many assumed that she had a hard time dealing with her big belly and said she looked “too fat.”

“Never seen [someone’s] pregnancy belly get this way unless there was twins!!!” one person wrote, while another said: “I have [never] seen anyone able to lift their baby like that in their tummy.”

All these comments interfered with this mom’s excitement. She just couldn’t believe that some people could be so mean. “I was so excited that I wanted to share—we had been trying for a second baby and hoping for a boy and I am an open person,” she told Today.

The truth is that every belly out there that carries a souls inside is a beautiful one. Even if some of them are a bit bigger that we are all used to seeing, or they have a strange form, you never tell an expecting mother that her baby bump is not appealing.

Eliana tried to explain that her belly was in fact a normal size according to doctors, considering she measures 4’11” with a short torso.

“I was never rude back,” Rodriguez explained. “I’d answer, ‘Yes, I am huge and it’s hard.’”

Once she shared how she felt regarding the comments, many took their time to cheer her up with some lovely words of support.

“Twins or not twins no one should harshly judge, or negatively comment about a woman’s pregnant belly… different women are built differently,” one Instagram user wrote.

“It’s SO annoying. I’ve noticed people say this to almost every pregnant woman… There’s a whole baby in there, what do they expect,” another person wrote in Eliana’s defense.

Speaking to 7Life, this mom said, “Pregnancy can come in all shapes and sizes, it’s something we cannot control, and to have someone say I look gross is shocking especially from another woman.” She then added, “As women we should uplift and empower each other, not the opposite. Pregnancy is a beautiful journey and such a special moment.”

There were some concerns that Eliana had polyhydramnios, a condition with too much amniotic fluid around the baby during pregnancy. However, after running some tests, doctors assured her she didn’t really have the condition. “They did check the amount of fluids and checked the baby’s size,” she said.

When the time finally came for Eliana’s son to be born she was taken to the Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center.

Things seemed perfect at first, but then, all of a sudden, the baby’s heart rate dropped and doctors prepared her for C-section. However, ones in the operating room, the heart rates got back to normal and Eliana gave birth naturally after only two pushes.

”I prayed so much.. I felt God’s presence. Yes it was a scary moment seeing about 9 people rush to get me prepped for surgery, I saw Cesar almost break down in tears.. but I took a deep breath and remained calm because it is HE our God who is always in control,” Eliana explained.

”He basically slipped out on his own! It was absolutely perfect! God is so good! I’ve been in so much gratitude and enjoying every moment. This experience was one for the books,” the proud mom said.

The baby was born healthy and weighter 8.3 pounds.

Congratulations on the new addition to your family, Eliana.

Remember Julia Stiles? This is why you don’t hear so much about her anymore

Few actors and actresses can say their roles made history in one way or another. Actress Julia Stiles can definitely be proud of how her role as Kat Stratford in the hit rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You changed the way people saw young women. For once, 20 something year olds were portrayed as totally independent. The character of Kat was one of the few alternative intelligent and feminist characters in the era of teenage romantic comedies.

Speaking of it, Stiles said, “If I had even a small part in that evolution of confidence in women, I’m really happy.”

This movie which stole the hearts of millions of people from every corner of the Earth and helped Stiles rise to stardom wasn’t the actress’s first film ever. In fact, she started acting at the age of 11. Being born to creative and academic parents who installed in her the love for the theater, it didn’t come as a surprise that she had aspirations to find her place under the Hollywood’s sky.

When she turned 15, Stiles got a role in I Love You, I Love You Not where she starred alongside Claire Danes and Jude Law. However, it wasn’t until she landed the role of Kat Stratford, a high-school senior who loves indie rock and feminist prose and hates conformity that pretty much everyone learned about Julia Stiles.

Julia had competition from dignitaries such as Kate Hudson, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Kirsten Dunst, but she was determined to get the role because she knew it fitted her perfectly. “The reason that I wanted that part so badly was because I thought it was so refreshing, seeing a teenage girl be feisty and opinionated and be a fish out of water, but proudly [so],” she told InStyle in 2009.

She starred opposite Heath Ledger and their on-screen chemistry seemed to be out-of-this-world. “We screen-tested Josh Hartnett, Eliza Dushku, Heath and Julia. But Julia and Heath just had the best chemistry together,” the casting director, Marcia Ross, told The New York Times in 2019.

After this smash hit, Stiles landed roles in two other Shakespeare adaptations, but she claimed it was just a coincidence.

At one point in her life and her career, she decided to attend university. Stiles enrolled the Columbia University and majored in English literature.

“Academic professionals don’t really give a s*** about me being in a movie or having to go the MTV Movie Awards. But then also people in the entertainment industry don’t really care about university. That helped me a lot,” she told The Daily Beast in 2019.

She says that college helped her stay grounded. “The good thing about being in college was that people took little interest in me because they were so preoccupied with their own ambitions and exams. Also there’s that thing in academia where movie-making isn’t supposed to be that important, it’s sort of low-brow. So that was refreshing to me and I was determined to be taken seriously,” she told Independent in 2007.

At some point in her life, she was left wondering if returning to her studies was the best choice while there were film offers waiting at the table.

“I don’t want to turn 50 and have regrets that I didn’t go back. Besides, just when I think my head might explode, it’s such a relief to go back to Columbia where they don’t care what magazine cover I’m on,” she told the National Post in 2004. 

Stiles’s career turned quiet at one point and she felt like she didn’t fit anywhere, but that was about to change when she was offered to be part of Hustlers, a crime comedy-drama.

“A movie like Hustlers to me is such an affirmation that like I have a place in the film industry and stories that I’m interested in are being told,” she said.

Most recently, she’s been highly praised for her role in the crime drama Riviera, a British TV drama that found its way to the American screens.

“Now we still have a long way to go but there has been a seismic shift in the entertainment industry where I feel like the roles that are coming my way and that are available to me and my peers, whether it’s behind the camera or in front of it, is even more interesting and exciting now than what we were doing in our 20s, generally,” Julia told InStyle.

In 2017, Stiles tied the knot with camera assistant Preston J. Cook with whom she has two children together. The couple first met while they were both working with the movie Go with Me, in 2016.

We are so glad this incredible actress found her place in Hollywood again. We are looking forward to see her in many new projects in the future.

Video of dad spanking child in public divides people – Abuse or old school discipline?

When it comes to parenting, there is always much debate. What some believe is the right approach to raising a child, others consider not much appropriate method.

Although kids are different nowadays than we used to be when we were their age, there are still people out there who believe that children needs spanking every now and them. Many argue that they were spanked and even beaten as young children and they still turned out all right. Others, however, believe that in the year of 2022, there is no place for “old fashioned discipline” such as corporal punishment.

This is the reason why a video of a father spanking his kid out in the public caused such stir on the social media.

He could be seen placing the boy on a chair before hitting him forcefully on the backside, to the disbelief of the passersby who witness the incident taking place right in front of their eyes.

As he finished hitting the boy, he turns to the girl who is sitting next to them and tells her to sit her ass down. Her response is a simple “okey.”

This raised the question of whether it is ever acceptable to use force against children. It is true that kids drive their parents crazy at times when they misbehave, but is that a reason enough to beat them?

Football quarterback Lamar Jackson commented on the video saying, “I turned out fine,” suggesting he was hit as a kid. Some users called those criticizing the actions of the father as ‘soft.’

One person wrote, “I’m a black mama… I never struck my child with anything, including my hand, and she turned out fine. By the way — my black mama did whip butts and I, too, turned out fine. Parenting styles are as diverse and unique as we are as individuals.” Another one said, “Turned out fine in spite of, not because of. The fight or flight hormone is released during any physical altercation and your brain can’t decipher ‘punishment’ vs sheer violence and still releases the hormone. This creates adults prone to anxiety, irritation, trust issues. It also desensitizes the child to violence and often ends up repeating and worsening the pattern of violence.”

The American Academy of Pediatrics claims that those children who receive corporal punishment become more aggressive and face the risk of mental health issues. “Experiencing corporal punishment makes it more, not less, likely that children will be defiant and aggressive in the future,” the group’s guidelines to pediatricians says, according to NBC News. “There’s no benefit to spanking,” said Dr. Robert Sege of Tufts Medical Center in Boston. “We know that children grow and develop better with positive role modeling and by setting healthy limits. We can do better.”

Son takes his mother’s hand when the favorite song starts playing – now watch the dance that conquered the Internet by storm

The love of a mother for her children is the most powerful feeling of all. The only thing that beats it is when children show appreciation for everything their mother has done for them throughout the years and return the love and the respect in the same manner.

A man named Lance is the son every parent would wish for. Although he has a family on his own and is a father of two, he always finds the time to spend some quality time with his mom and make her days.

This time, he and mom Lucy stole the hearts of millions of people worldwide with their incredible dance moves. As it turned out, she had a hard time falling asleep, and that’s when Lance stepped in. He grabbed his mother’s hand and started dancing with her in the middle of the room like no one was watching.

Thankfully, the rest of the family witnessed this beautiful moment and even put it on tape so that everyone could enjoy the bonding between these mother and son.

Lance’s daughter cheered all along and was happy to see her daddy and her grandma having so much fun together.

Midway through the song, Lucy turns to the camera and says that’s what happens to people who can’t fall asleep in Louisiana.

Needless to say, there were plenty of comments praising Lance for his love and dedication for his mom.

Mom captured the spirit of her dead daughter playing with her toys at her own grave

When a woman named Saundra lost her two-year-old daughter, her world collapsed. Little Faviola Rodriguez was a loving and a happy child. Unfortunately, her life was cut short one day while she was left under the care of her mother’s boyfriend.

The poor mother never knew she could ever lose her little one in such a manner. She always dreamed of watching her baby daughter grow up and grow old and turn into a beautiful individual. Sadly, that didn’t happen.

Children should outlive their parents. They should be given the chance to learn, gather knowledge, make decisions, and become independent, thus start their own families and experience many beautiful things in life. When all that is taken away from them, their parents are left to deal with the pain and the grief that never fades away.

Faviola was buried at the Mosanic Cemetery in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and her mother decorated her grave with some of the toys the girl loved playing with the most. Shortly after, some people started complaining that someone was vandalizing the cemeteries. One particular family who lost their son decided to set up a camera on the boy’s gravestone. When they saw the footage, they were shocked, to say the least.

It showed something truly incredible. At first, they thought they were hallucinating, but the footage clearly showed a young girl resembling Faviola playing with the toys placed on her gravestone. At first, they thought it could be a lost child that wandered off, but after talking to the authorities, they learned no child that age was reported missing.

Eventually, they decided to share the footage with Saundra. Seeing it, she was overwhelmed.

“[The boy’s mother] told us that she had something really beautiful to show us that they had captured on their video camera,” Saundra explained. “So then she pulled out her phone and she showed it to me, and as soon as she showed me the picture I started crying.”

This mom was certain she was looking at her daughter’s spirit. There was no doubt about it. “I know that is my daughter,” she said.

Saundra believes that Faviola had an unfinished business, to help the boy whose mom took the footage go to Heaven. They were both very young when they passed away and their spirits needed one another to guide and help.

“They both have such a tragic story of things that happened to them and… both of them still haven’t gotten justice. So, I think she was definitely there to comfort him and take him to heaven.”

Obeey.Sandrizzy / Facebook

She then felt the urge to share her story together with photos of the beautiful footage that reminded her that her baby’s spirit was still there.

“It’s taken a lot for me to share this with everyone because for one my situation with my daughter is already sensitive for me and secondly everyone has their own beliefs but all I can do if share mine with everyone….” Speaking of the footage and the other boy’s family she added: “I know it was not only a sign from my daughter but also fate for us all to meet.”

Couple adopts rescue dog before meeting him – When the door opens to reveal him they ‘lose it’

The number of homeless dogs that don’t have anyone by their side and are left to fend for themselves is pretty huge and every country is struggling to find these souls a family and a shelter. The fact is, however, that most shelters are overcrowded and can’t find a way to welcome in any more dogs so they decide to euthanize them.

One couple, Tracy and Scott Whyatt set the goal of helping these dogs and finding them forever homes instead of letting their lives to be ended.

Their rescue mission started back in 2011 and ever since a huge number of dogs have been placed with loving families. Namely, it all started when they took some dogs that were on the kill-list and transported them to places where they were more likely to be adopted. This mission was part of the initiative launched by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).

Source: Facebook

Neither Tracey nor Scott ever believed that saving dogs would be their full-time job in life. But they are happy and love working with these animals.

What they do is take dogs from high-kill shelters from San Antonio, Texas, and provide them with the rehabilitation they are in need of. After they feel the dogs are ready to be adopted, they put them in their trailer and together with PetSmart they travel to parking lots in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and Florida where pre-approved people interested in getting a furry friend wait for them.

Source: YouTube

“We had adopted through Tracy’s Dogs before and we had a great experience with them, and we wanted to adopt again through them,” one man who was waiting to meet his new dog said. “There are so many dogs out there who need a home that we wanted to help out.”

The reaction of most owners seeing their four-legged companions for the first time is touching and heartwarming. The doggies are equally excited to take on the new chapter of their lives.

Take a look at the video below. It’s cute beyond words, don’t you think so?

Teen sacrifices his life to save 4-year-old brother from drowning in front of their mom’s eyes

There’s no greater pain in the world than that of losing a child. The thought that they would never see their most precious jewel ever again is devastating for moms and dads to say the least.

With the loss of a child comes grief that never fades away, but intensifies with each passing day.

The parents of Alex Harris, one of the bravest young men we’ve ever heard of, shared the heartbreaking news of his passing.

He died a hero and left a huge void in the hearts and lives of his family.

Source: Facebook

One day, Alex and his young brother Asher were swimming in the Missouri River. They had lots of fun, but then, all of a sudden, Alex noticed that his little brother got caught up in a powerful current. Without having a second a thought, he rushed towards Asher in an attempt to save his life, which he did. Unfortunately, he lost his own life in the process.

Alex held on to Asher until their mom arrived, but he was too exhausted to be able to fight any longer and simply collapsed and vanished.

His mother, Nikki, said she witnessed the moment when her son’s hands slipped. They called help right away, but Alex’s body was found the following day. He drowned.

Alex’s father, Tyson, shared a heartbreaking message on Facebook to inform his friends that they lost Alex. He explained that the young man died trying to save his little brother. He added that he wished he could take his son’s place every second of every day.

Tyson said that he has a hard time accepting the reality and although he is aware that Alex will never come back, he still has the feeling that he would wait for him in front of the car in the morning, like he did every day. The two would travel together for 15 minutes each morning, and they were both looking forward to it because it was a father-son time they used to talk about many things.

Alex’s football coach said that Alex was “simply a person who would assist somebody else out.”

This young man’s bravery will never be forgotten. He saved his brother’s life although he was aware that he could easily lose his.

Rest in peace, Alex.

Following the tragedy, the Missouri State Highway Patrol has urged people to use personal flotation devices when traveling on a river or any other body of water that is unexpected.

It took him in total about a year to get the money and materials all together to do the work on the house, he mowed lawns, did fund raisers online and did jobs for anyone he could and generally did anything he could to raise money.

Luke was friends with someone who knew electrics and he helped him install all the electrics in exchange for Luke clearing out all his garage for him, trade for trade so to speak.

During his project Luke used about 75% recycled materials, a lot of things left over from his grandma’s house, the front door was a gift from the friend of his uncle!

Facebook/Luke Thill

The little house is about 89 square foot and a whole 10 feet in length at around 5 ½ feet wide, it has electricity but no plumbing, so no toilet sink or shower yet!

“I liked the minimalism”

“And I wanted to have a house without a huge mortgage.”

Luke has made many short videos to post on youtube, he tells us about his project, there are many people curious about it and his motivation to do it.

Luke recieved quite a lot of help from his parents both with the building and with the finances, but dad Greg ensured that it was Luke that would pay for most everything himself.

Greg said:

“It was a chance for a kid to do something more than play video games or sports”

“It teaches life lessons.”

The house is a complete dream house for a teenager, a little sanctuary for him to realx and have his own space, it has a microwave, TV and a loft with a bed, there is even a BBQ out back!

Luke diligently does his homework after school time in his little house then in the nighttime, at least some of the time, he gets to sleep there too!

New parents hire repair service to fix furnace, only to find note about newborn son scribbled on the bill

Offering kindness and doing good is the quality only the best among us possess. 

During a harsh winter, the second baby of the family Hulscher was born. Mom Maria and dad Jesse were over the moon and their sweet son became an older brother. 

While Maria and the baby were still at the hospital, Jesse went home wanting to make sure everything was ready for the welcoming of the bundle of joy into the house. But then, he stumbled upon a problem. The furnace stopped working and he started panicking as he knew that finding a repairing company at a short notice would be an issue. 

The winter was a severe one and the temperatures wouldn’t stop going down. He knew he had to act quickly before his wife and the baby came home. He was also concerned for the 2-year-old. So, Jesse called a repair service but he didn’t really expect for them to come soon. But exactly the opposite happened. 

He told the staff at the Magnuson Sheet Metal why he was in such hurry for the furnace to be repaired and they were more than welcome to step in. 

Once the job was done in no time, the repairman handed Jesse the bill. To his surprise, there was only a note written on it which said, “No charge. Take care of baby.” 

Once this lovely story spread around, The Sun contacted the co-owner of the company, Craig Aurand, who said how the company maintains a policy of lending a helping hand to families in need during the holidays free of charge.

Teenager walks into a restaurant and surrenders her newborn to the restaurant’s staff and customers

The customers at an El Patron restaurant in Jersey City, New Jersey, hoped to have some nice time and enjoy great food when all of a sudden, they spotted a young girl carrying a baby in her arms. She was in distress and blood could be seen running down her legs.

It was obvious that despite her young age of just 14, it was her who had given birth to the bundle in her arms.

Not knowing what to do and who to turn to, she entered the restaurant and surrendered the little one to two customers, Alease Scott and her boyfriend Walter Cocca, who got really concerned for both the mother and the child.

Recalling that day, Scott explained how she asked the girl if she could check the baby’s vitals. “She readily handed the baby over to me so my focus went right onto the baby,” she added.

“The baby had a color but I just saw that the breathing was a little bit labored.” 

At that moment, they called paramedics and Scott made sure she kept a close eye on the baby while they arrived. She ensured the one was breathing properly. “Once I applied the oxygen mask to the baby, all of a sudden we heard the most beautiful cry and the baby started moving, she slightly opened up her eyes and then she closed her eyes but the sweetest thing was when she got hungry and she was trying to suckle on the oxygen mask so we knew she was OK after that,” Scott recalled.

“All I saw was a child who just didn’t know what to do and made a very bad decision that worked out… for the good of that baby.”

Scott was very happy she could help someone during their most difficult of times.

One of the employees at the restaurant, Frankie Aguilar, said that the staff alerted authorities of the girl who seemed to be acting strangely.

Luckily, the young mom was later tracked down and taken to the Jersey Medical Center. Despite her decision to leave the baby at a place of business instead of a Safe Haven, she was given safe passage to the hospital instead of jail, in accordance with the protections guaranteed them by her state government. 

What is Safe Haven and how does it work? The idea of introducing these “mailboxes” to the United States was presented by a woman named Mónica Kelsey, who was abandoned right after birth herself. She is the founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes. “Baby Boxes will be placed in Safe Haven locations and will allow a woman to surrender her unwanted newborn under the Safe Haven Law by placing her newborn in an electronically monitored Safe Haven Baby Box (…) These women are telling us that they want complete anonymity and Safe Haven Baby Boxes will ensure that this happens,” the website of the organization says.

It was later reported that the young mom’s parents weren’t aware that their child of 14 was pregnant and that she had given birth. Upon learning this, they took both their daughter and her baby in.

“I didn’t know she was 14 years old when she dropped the baby off to me … We don’t know what she went through. We don’t know how she ended up in that state,” Scott said in a video in which she speaks of the situation.

“So glad she chose to give the baby away and not throw it away. She is adorable. I believe she felt stuck and did the right thing. But she clearly loved the baby. So sad,” one person wrote under the video.

Mom send her teenage daughter to school with witty note

Teenage years are likely to be the best years of most people’s life. Those are the days when we get to hang out with our peers, have fun, and show the world that we know everything. Most teenagers refuse to obey their parents’ ‘rules’ because they feel like they are always right and don’t need anyone to give them directions or tell them what to do. 

One mom named Nicole Poppic from California is sharing one of the struggles she goes through every morning because of her teenage daughter. While her 10-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter are behaving and still need their mommy by their side at all times, 14-year-old Cara does things her way.

Namely, Cara has troubles getting up in the morning and as a result she is late for school. 

Nicole shared with Today how she manages to ‘control’ Cara when she refuses to listen and now the note she wrote to the school explaining why her teenage daughter misses the morning lessons has gone viral and makes us all laugh. 

Apparently, Cara ‘suffers’ from a condition called teenage-ism. Well, I guess we’ve all been there and we can all relate to this young girl. 

One morning, as the family got in the car, Nicole noticed that Cara had put her headphones on and didn’t really mind what her mom was telling her. 

“That is when I saw that Cara had put in her headphones and was staring out her window, completely ignoring me,” Nicole told Today. “I reached over and took her phone off her lap, unplugged her headphones, and threw her phone out the car window.”

Afterwards, she wrote the hilarious letter which said:

“To whom it may concern:

“Cara is tardy this morning as a result of a condition called teenage-ism. Adolescents across our great nation are afflicted and there is no known cure. Symptoms are multitudinous, but this particular morning she suffered from an inability to remove herself from her bed, and also felt the need to talk back to her birth giver.

“She seems to be recovering her senses after watching her cell phone fly out of the car window.

“Please call me if there’s another flare up.

“Thank you,

“Nicole Poppic.“

Once she posted a photo of it on Facebook people loved it so much that it spread like a wildfire. 

We believe Nicole is an amazing mom with huge personality and great sense of humor, don’t you agree?

Olivia Newton-John fought to the end: Inside her final hours

Besides being someone who always radiated joy and positivity with her presence and her dazzling smile, late actress and singer Olivia Newton-John was also someone who openly spoke of her breast cancer diagnosis and helped millions of women in her position to understand they are not alone in their fight.

Newton-John was first learned of the devastating diagnosis shortly after she released her third hits collection Back to Basics: The Essential Collection 1971–1992. This put her tour on hold and she had partial mastectomy of her right breast in just 24 hours after she learned she had cancer.

Doctors assured her that everything was going to be just fine, but she felt uneasy.

She was aware that she was someone many looked up to so she decided to go public and speak of her battle openly. Having someone as loved and as influential like her open up about cancer helped raise awareness and many praised her for her bravery.

“I draw strength from the millions of women who have faced this challenge successfully,” she said at the time.

David Redfern/Redferns

Nine months after the surgery and everything that followed, Newton-John became an advocate for breast cancer.

She turned to healthy food and decided to spend millions on a “greenhouse” to boost her battle against cancer.

”When I was told I had cancer I kept asking myself ’Why?’ All I could think was that the cancer could have been brought about by the environment were living in,” Olivia told Sunday Mirror in 1993.

”I kept thinking maybe it was the air we were breathing and the water we were drinking in Los Angeles. I felt hemmed in, there are too many people in LA.”

In an interview with Santa Cruz Sentinel in 1994, Olivia explained that a major part of the healing process was accepting all the support from family, friends, and fans.

“As a woman, it’s sometimes very hard to focus on yourself,” she said. “We’re always focusing on our families, everybody else besides ourselves. We always come last. You know, mother always gets the smallest potato.”

In 2017, Newton-John was told that her cancer returned and this time, it spread to her spine.

“I am feeling good and enjoying total support from my family and friends, along with a team of wellness and medical practitioners both here in the U.S. and at my Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia,” she said. It was then that she told the public that she also had cancer in 2013.

“A lot of people see it as a fight and wherever you choose to see it, that’s your prerogative. I see it as part of my… whatever you want to call it. I see it as part of my mission, maybe,” she said.

Newton-John has spent a lot of money on cancer research through her foundation The Olivia Newton-John Foundation.

The actress’s niece, Totti Goldsmith, spoke of the last days of Newton-John’s life and said the family had a hard time watching her health decline. “It’s not a shock, we’ve known how sick she’s been, especially the last five days,” Totti, who lives in Melbourne, told A Current Affair.

She said that she and her aunt spoke through Facetime for one last time. “I told her all the things I needed to say. She was leaving us… but I could feel like she got it,” Totti shared.

“It wasn’t just the cancer that got her, it was other complications, being in a hospital and with a very susceptible immune system. She got secondary infections,” the niece said of Newton-John’s struggles during the last days of her life.

“She was really skinny and really unwell and I said to her, ‘Are you afraid of dying?” Totti recalled.

“She said, ‘Plonker’, which was my nickname, she said, ‘I’m not, I’m not afraid, I’ve done more in my life than I could have ever imagined’.

“She honestly never imagined her life would be how it was.”

Newton-John passed away on August, 8. May she rest in peace.

Anne Heche’s family shares heartbreaking update as they determine what is next for the actress

Actress Anne Heche, who came to prominence during the late ’90s with movies such as Donnie Brasco, starring opposite Al Pacino and Johnny Depp, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Six Days, Seven Nights, has been involved in a severe car crash on Friday, at around 10:55 a.m., and remains in critical condition. She was reported to have had her Mini Cooper crashed into a home in the the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles.

According to family representatives, she is not expected to survive.

The statement released on her condition says, “Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne Heche suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition. She is not expected to survive.

“It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she is being kept on life support to determine if any are viable,” the statement revealed.

“Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit. More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work — especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love. She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light.”

As reported by Entertainment Tonight, Heche’s oldest son, Homer, 20, is facing the pressure of making decisions regarding his mom’s medical care. Heche is also a mom of son Atlas, who is 14 years old.

“[Homer’s] being as strong as he can be. Her family is ready to surround her and be there if she wakes up. Everyone is waiting for that to happen,” the media site revealed. “They are trying to focus on getting Anne better, and it’s very hard when they have these negative distractions. Anne is in a coma and fighting for her life. She has no voice here.”

According to CNN, the accident remains under investigation. The blood analysis revealed presence of narcotics in Heche’s body. However, it would take weeks before further analysis help determine what types of drugs it is and to rule out any substances that were administered in the hospital, where she remains in a coma for six days. LAPD Officer Jeff Lee spoke of Heche’s case and explained that “her blood showed signs of impairment and that is why it is now being investigated as a felony traffic collision.”

Despite severe brain injury, the actress sustained burns as well, as the accident resulted in a fire that required some 59 firefighters to put out and caused major structural damage. An eye witness of the crash told NBC Los Angeles that it took “a crane to move the car to extract the driver. It was crazy.”

Another eyewitness, David Manpearl, said how he left his house after hearing the crash, only to find Heche’s Mini Cooper wedged in the back wall of his neighbor’s house. The owner of the house was in a state of shock as he stood in the middle of the kitchen asking for help.

“She couldn’t move because the ceiling had come down, so there was all kinds of debris everywhere,” Manpearl said. “It got to a point where there was fire everywhere. It was all around us,” he added.

Alaska man feeds bald eagles in an incredible video seen over 9 million times

Getting close to wild animals is both terrifying and majestic. Not many can say they made friends with deer, elephants, or bears, but an Alaska man named Jessie Peck has gotten so close to some of the most incredible birds there are that we can’t help but get a bit jealous of him.

Living in Unalaska, Alaska, it’s hard not to stumble upon bald eagles. The population of these birds of pray is over 600 in this place of around 5,000 inhabitants. The magnificent birds are drawn there by the carrion and the waterfowl.

Source: YouTube / jessie peck

Of course, everyone knows that bald eagles should be avoided because they can be very dangerous, especially when they feel their little ones are threatened by humans.

“We have these signs that we put up every year to remind people that there are nesting eagles in the area,” Deputy Police Chief Jennifer Shockley told Alaska Republic. “They will do whatever it takes to protect their young, and that typically includes launching themselves at people and using their talons to lacerate their heads.”

Source: YouTube / jessie peck

Well, this doesn’t concern Jessie Pack much. In a video he uploaded on YouTube, and which has nearly 9 million views, he could be seen feeding a large group of bald eagles. The crowd is cheering as the birds land on the ship one by one.

Many of the people who have seen the video are simply stunned by the incredible sight.

“This is wonderful! How fortunate Alaskans are to have so many of these glorious raptors! ❤️” one person wrote.

“That would be such a majestic experiences. Hundreds of natures most beautiful creatures just coming to chill with you on your boat…so cool, another added.

Source: YouTube / jessie peck

Commercial fisherman Bob Wilson told Men’s Journal: “Do I think they’re pests? Oh, absolutely. But they’re cool pests, so that’s OK. They make a mess of my boat, which is kind of the bad part, but they are our national bird and we love them anyway.”

I wish I could experience something as beautiful and as unique as feeding these awesome birds.

Three-year-old girl who had spent over 700 days in the hospital owing to a heart abnormality has passed away

Baby Valentina Garnetti gained national attention after her mother, Francesca, a single mom of three, shared her life story and asked for prayers for her little one.

Since the moment she was welcomed into the world, Valentina was diagnosed with congenital cardiac abnormality. As a result, she spent her entire life at the hospital, around 700 whole days, to be exact.

Once Franceska opened up about her baby’s struggles on the social media, everyone learned of Valentina and millions of people prayed that she is cured and home with her mom and siblings.

Over the three and a half years, this little angel endured numerous treatments and four open heart surgeries. And if this wasn’t painful enough, she also experienced strokes, epilepsy attacks, and allergic responses.

Finally, in April of 2021, for the first time ever, Valentina was discharged from the University of Michigan’s CS Mott Children’s Hospital.

After her third surgery, her mom took to Facebook to share that her girl ‘was really unwell.’

Ever since her birth, she spent all her birthdays and happy moments at the hospital, and now that she was home, she was still forced to use oxygen, a feeding tube, and a bunch of medicine.  “She’s not only here, but she’s also happy and flourishing,” Francesca said. “She has a great attitude about life.”

On July 16, Francesca made an urgent appeal for prayers as her child wasn’t fine and stopped breathing all of a sudden. Until paramedics arrived, she performed CPR on her baby girl. Unfortunately, when they finally arrived, they said there was nothing to be done. Valentina was dead.

Francesca said she was aware of that as she could hear her daughter taking her final breath while she was in her grandmother’s arms.

“My daughter battled so hard for so long, and her body was simply weary.”

The devastated mother said that her girl is now “healthy in paradise with a heart that is no longer damaged, and she can run, walk, speak, eat and do all the things that she enjoyed seeing other people do.”

Are thoughts and prayers are with the family during these difficult times of grief.

Husband labelled ‘immature, insensitive idiot’ after ‘joking’ about wife’s ‘traumatic’ birthing experience

Children are a blessing from God. A mother is no less than a miracle who gives birth to new lives with pain and strength. What happens in the labor room is just between the wife, husband and the doctors and nobody else’s business.

People are assuring a woman that her angry reaction was justified after she revealed that she yelled at her husband during a New Year’s Eve celebration with his family because he joked about her “traumatic” birthing experience.

In the post, the 25-year-old woman explained that she gave birth to the couple’s daughter a few weeks ago, and that, because it was her first child, she hadn’t known what to expect and the experience had been “pretty traumatic”:

I f25 gave birth to my daughter weeks ago, My experience was pretty traumatic and since it was my first, I had no clue what to expect. Forgive me for the vague details for privacy but I’ll mention all the relevant stuff, I promise.

When I went into labor I had the most difficult time of my life, I was in pain for hours. My mom was with me but she had to go and my husband was with me the entire time. I did something so embarrassing in the delivery room, I pooped myself which was unexpected and just…

I don’t know but it was embarrassing and although my medical team were very professional about it, my husband couldn’t help himself and started laughing about it later and even telling my family about it but they didn’t react, just didn’t find it funny and neither did I, In fact, I found it embarrassing and I already told him to stop bringing it up especially when he started joking about getting me diapers for my “opsies!!”. It got really tiring and chipped away from my self esteem and confidence.

We were with his parents celebrating new year’s eve together when I excused myself to the bathroom. While I was getting up he made a quick remark and said “oh yeah, you should go quickly because we don’t want any accidents just like the one we had at the hospital, you know what I mean?” While blinking at me. His family actually laughed and BIL commented “good one!”.

I was astonished and so angry and ashamed, I literally just lost it on him and yelled at the top of my lungs calling him a cruel insensitive jerk for using the difficult experience of birthing his child as a joking matter and humiliating me in front of everybody. He was shocked, staring back at me and not saying a word. All went silent and I just stormed off to the bathroom til we left and that was when he snapped saying I messed up by talking to him like that in front of his family during dinner, I said I couldn’t hold my tongue for that long and after he kept joking about an embarrassing thing when I told him to stop.

He said he was just joking and I went overboard with my reaction and also, I should’ve sucked it up and waited til we got home so we could address this privately and I could even yell at him as long as I wanted. We argued about it after we got home and he kept saying I humiliated him in front of his family during the celebratory evening by being petty and trying to one up him… He even said I should’ve laughed along and not fly off the handle like that.

The argument didn’t end there, as she explained: “We argued about it after we got home and he kept saying I humiliated him in front of his family during the celebratory evening by being petty and trying to one up him…
“He even said I should’ve laughed along and not fly off the handle like that.”
The woman ended the post asking people if she overreacted, but the vast majority were firmly on her side of the argument.

One person wrote: “NTA (not the asshole). What a cruel and immature joke to make, ask him to push a watermelon out his dick and see if he can do it without any ‘embarrassing accidents’.”
Another agreed, commenting: “NTA what the hell? So he can humiliate you by ‘joking’ in front of his entire family about a deeply private, personal and traumatic experience that you have ALREADY ASKED HIM to stop making remarks about, but if you call him out on it in front of those same people, somehow you’re at fault.”
Some also pointed to the fact that it’s common for women to have similar accidents during childbirth and it is completely normal.

One person replied: “Nope, NTA. Your husband is an immature, insensitive jerk. Pooping yourself during birth is quite normal, but to make fun of you about it is not cool.”
Someone else agreed, writing: “NTA. Pooping during labour is natural and expected by the doctors/midwives, that’s why they don’t bat an eyelid when it happens.

“Your husband is definitely TA (the asshole) and needs to grow the hell up and understand that you and your body have been through a traumatic experience.
“He should be supporting you, not bringing you down. You need to tell him that he’s acting like an immature child who is fascinated by poop!”
