Pregnant Mom Calls Out Husband For Falling Asleep While Watching Their Two-Year-Old
Jan 17, 2025
There's nothing quite like discovering how much louder actions speak than words when your partner falls asleep on the job.
Especially when you're 38 weeks pregnant.
TikToker @mstarland began recording when her two-year-old son woke her from her nap in her darkened bedroom. The beginning of the video is jumbled chaos as she wrestles to get out of bed while her toddler asks her to "help" with something before suggesting what they could play together.
As the 38-week-pregnant mom sits on the side of the bed, she asks the most pertinent question:
"Where's Daddy?"
Her two-year-old promptly replies:
"Daddy's resting."
The TikToker follows her son out of the bedroom, down the hallway, and into the living room where toys are littered all over the room, including his father napping on the floor with a pillow comfortably tucked under his head.

The TikToker was flabbergasted.
"Babe, are you kidding?"
As it turns out, the 38-week-pregnant mom had been instructed by her husband to go "rest" before their second baby comes—so she went to bed trusting that her husband would handle watching their son while she slept.
The husband then argued that he had told their son to play right next to him while he rested his eyes, but he had quickly fallen asleep, and the toddler, being a toddler, had wandered off through the house and sought out his mother.

Some fellow TikTokers were infuriated on the mom's behalf.

Toddlers are notorious for wandering off and getting into things that they should not, so it's fortunate that these parents did not find their son getting into something worse than the mom's LEGO collection while they both napped.
While the TikToker argued in a now-deleted comment that her husband was "normally amazing," it's still telling that her husband sent her off to rest to prepare for the baby but then did not follow through on taking care of their son while her guard was down.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip
Jan 17, 2025
Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.
At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
Asked by Tapper if he agreed with McCaul's observation, Turner offered a glimpse into this major problem:
“It is absolutely true we see, directly coming from Russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor. There are members of Congress today who still incorrectly say that this conflict between Russia and Ukraine is over NATO, which of course it is not."
"Vladimir Putin made it very clear both publicly and to his own population that his view is that this is a conflict of a much broader claim to Russia and Eastern Europe. It included claiming all of Ukrainian territories."
"To the extent this propaganda takes hold, it makes it more difficult for us to really see this as an authoritarian versus democracy battle, which is what it is." President Xi of China, Vladimir Putin himself have identified as such."
"We need to stand up for democracy. We need to make certain that we know that authoritarian regimes never stop when they start an aggression. Ukraine needs our help with assistance now and this is a very critical time for the U.S. Congress to step up and provide that aid."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Earlier this week, Turner was let go from the influential chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee, which Turner made clear on his way out was a directive that came directly from Donald Trump.
As reported by CBS News, Turner said Speaker Johnson had cited “concerns from Mar-a-Lago,” Trump’s Florida estate, as the reason for his removal as chair.
Mike Johnson on his decision to remove Rep. Mike Turner as intel chair: “This is not a President Trump decision. This is a House decision” This is a lie. Turner told CBS News that Johnson cited “concerns from Mar-a-Lago” as justification for the removal

Of course, when asked directly by reporters whether Trump had urged him to make the change, Johnson denied it:
“This is not a President Trump decision. This is a House decision, and this is no slight whatsoever to our outgoing chairman. He did a great job.”
But people knew just who to believe and the clip of Turner warning about Russian propaganda recirculated online.
And no one was fooled.
Turner was first appointed as the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee in January 2022, when the GOP was in the House minority. After Republicans regained the majority in November of that year, he was retained as chairman, starting in 2023. Turner has openly advocated for U.S. aid to bolster Ukraine's efforts under Russian occupation.
Though Turner refrained from naming specific members of Congress or his party, his remarks came on the heels of recent tensions stirred by Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene had filed a motion to oust Johnson if he proceeded with a Ukraine aid bill.
Greene also expressed frustration over Johnson’s reliance on Democratic support to pass a $1.2 trillion spending bill designed to avert a federal government shutdown.
In February, the Senate approved a $95 billion foreign aid bill, which included funding for Ukraine. However, Johnson has yet to bring the measure to a vote in the House. As of Monday, Greene had not followed through on forcing a vote on her motion to remove Johnson from the speakership.

TikToker Dumbfounded After Discovering A Troll Signed Her Up For The Special Olympics
Jan 17, 2025
Some people are natural born givers and like to lift other people's spirits and find unique and fun ways to make them laugh.
TikToker @poorandhungry, or "Syd," is one such person who maintains a TikTok and Instagram account with funny parodies, quips, and skits that leave her audience rolling with laughter.
But a real-life incident left her audience laughing even more than usual and left the stunned TikToker low-key impressed.
Like many accounts on TikTok, she had included her email in her bio as a way to get in touch—and a troll had decided to use her email to sign her up to participate in the Special Olympics.
The application for this is fairly long and involved, but the person had not shied away from depicting Syd's running performance times, sports of choice, and other information the application asked for.
Because her email was used, Syd was notified when the application was complete, and she was shocked to read through not just the registration confirmation but the application the anonymous troll had filled out. So she made a TikTok about it.
The TikToker got right to the point:
"Whoever used my email that is in my bio to register me as a participant in the Special Olympics, that is a new, unparalleled level of internet troll."
"Because you bet that when I got that email 20 minutes ago that said, 'You're Registered,' and it came from the United States Special Olympics Committee, I clicked that."
"I clicked it and I read it. I read what you wrote for my application and my times, and I don't even run that fast."
It was clear that the TikToker was frustrated but also kind of impressed.
"By no means do I want anyone else to use my email to do anything else, but that was just too ridiculous and shocking not to share."
"So if you're seeing this and you did that, don't do it again to anybody else. Just knock it off. Only sign up for your own things."
"But I want you to know that I saw it, and I read my application that you wrote for me on my behalf."
"And unfortunately, no, I don't think I will be attending my qualifier."

@poorandhungry Happy wednesday

A spokesperson for Special Olympics Tennessee even commented on the video, stating:
"But we'd love to have you as a volunteer!"
@poorandhungry/TikTok
TikToker @poorandhungry used the opportunity to put a positive spin on the prank application, sharing how others could get involved to show support and advocate for those in need.
She then directed her audience to the Special Olympics website and walked them through how to navigate the website, what volunteer opportunities were available, and how to find which opportunities were geographically closest by.
The TikToker voiced her interest in "volunteering her time" and showed how she would use the information on the website to volunteer her time and to get started with supporting the organization, before encouraging others to do the same.
You can watch the video here:
@poorandhungry Replying to @Special Olympics Tennessee i love how easy it is to find ways to donate and volunteer !!
This incident was such a great example of how to laugh in the face of a prank, and most importantly, make the most of the situation.
Hopefully, this will lead to new adventures for this TikToker as well as unique new opportunities to uplift her audience and make her viewers laugh.

Lesbian Speaks Out After She And Partner Were Targets Of Homophobic Bullying On Disney Cruise
Jan 17, 2025
A l Disney fan and her partner believe they were targeted in a homophobic bullying incident while traveling on a Disney cruise.
Myriam–a.k.a. @myriamestrella8–recounted the disturbing incident in the first of a couple of TikTok videos that went viral.
"Never did I think I'd get f**king hate-crimed on a Disney cruise out of all places. But I guess we're starting this morning off like that," she said in a December 11, 2024, video filmed from inside her cabin.
Myriam explained that passengers on a Disney ship often decorate the doors to their cabins with fun magnets and other types of fun artwork.
"We're getting ready to go to Disney's private island today cause that's where we're like, docked," she said, and shared that they were inspired to carry on a fun tradition witnessed on a previous cruise.
She continued:
"And the thing people do on cruises is they decorate their doors. And last time we were on a cruise the first time ever, two months ago during Hurricane Milton, our neighbors had questionnaires and they put whiteboards on their door."
"So we were like oh that's a great idea let's do that. So my partner goes to leave early for breakfast cause she has to pre-order her food cause she has a gluten allergy."
"And I didn't want her to miss breakfast so I was like go go go."
Things took a turn when an unsettling discovery was made.
"And then she, like, I immediately hear her knocking. I go outside and she's, like, someone wrote sh*t all over our whiteboard," said the TikToker.
She left her room to show viewers a glimpse of their whiteboard which had been vandalized repeatedly with the word "gay," likely in response to the culprit scoffing over an illustration on the door depicting the same-sex couple holding a heart together.
"It's pretty obvious we're gay because this is our little thing on our door," she said of the drawing, adding:
"Now I'm like known for being really nice and kind and that's who I am. But the one thing I don't f**k with is my relationship."
Here is the video (warning: language)
Understandably frustrated and angry, Myriam warned:
"So today these motherf**kers are gonna learn. Because there's cameras all over the ship."
"I don't care if they're 5 years old, I don't care if they're 25 and I don't care if they're 95."
"They're gonna f**king learn today that they will never write that anywhere. I'm f**king fuming."
"The only color of the rainbow they're gonna f**king see today is red," she added at the end of the clip.
Followers began assembling to aid in the confrontation.

Her tactic of catching the culprit by posting the video was effective.
She explained in a follow-up clip:
"So my partner goes down to guest relations. And the whole point of this cruise is we're here to take my mom on her first ever cruise."
"And we also docked at Disney's private island today. So we leave the issue with guest relations we take my mom to the private island. I shut my phone off and we just enjoy the day."
When they returned to the ship, a meeting with the security staff was arranged, and they were informed that security had viewed the TikTok video explaining the disturbing incident.
Myriam said the staff was able to catch the vandals.
"We're really lucky because there's a camera pointing right, like, two feet at our door," she continued.
"So they got the footage, this happened around 2-3 a.m. in the morning."
"It was boys in their teens, to which my partner and I said, it doesn't really matter who's being homophobic or what age they are."
"It's still homophobic. And to which they said 'we completely agree.'"
The staff's downplaying of the incident, saying the teens were just using the LGBTQ+ epithet out of tomfoolery and not necessarily because the women were gay, wasn't reassuring.
"They said they didn't think it was targeted towards us," said Myriam.
"It was just boys using the word 'gay' as an insult."
"But Disney Cruise line, Disney in general is a really gay f**king company. So I wanted to make sure they don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk."
Myriam was told security staff were going to meet with the teens and their families to relay that their behavior was unacceptable.
"And a formal investigation was done and now the boys and their parents have an official Disney company report on them forever and ever."
Because of their actions, Myriam said the teens' parents now have a "personal vested interest" to ensure their kids won't act "like f**king animals again. Homophobic animals," in the future.
@myriamestrella8 Replying to @✨ TracyJ ✨ update!!!
TikTokers weighed in with their thoughts.

@myriamestrella8/TikTok
Disney destinations, whether it be at their theme parks, cruise ships or resort hotels, are known to be safe spaces for people of all backgrounds and beliefs, drawn together by a shared passion for the brand renowned for its magic.
Myriam and her partner's vexation was justified given that the Disney cruise ship was believed to be the last place for marginalized community members to feel unsafe.
Hopefully, the young culprits will come to understand that their behavior was hurtful.

People Describe The All-Time Worst Jobs They've Ever Had
Jan 17, 2025
Dream jobs are the ones where they don't feel like work at all.
Very few are lucky enough to earn a living while fulfilling their passions. In contrast, others show up despite the arduous tasks involved in raising a family or living a comfortable life.
Some of those jobs, however, can be downright miserable and worth considering leaving.
Curious to hear examples of these, Redditor NoMarket2312 asked:
"What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?"
These can take a toll on your mental health.
Cleaning The Club
"Floor staff at a nightclub. I had to collect empty bottles and cups that people would leave on the floor. It involved a lot of getting pushed, injured on broken glass, being ignored by people too big and strong to move out the way and getting touched for a laugh."
"Leaving that job was such a big positive for my mental health."
– TheNameless00
Morbid Misery
"Picking up and disposing of dead animals. (Mostly farm animals who had died). Try putting a putrid corpse in a clear plastic bag and drive around in a truck filled with such things. Also the incinerator was a smell you will never forget."
– Maleficent_Delay9902
Phone Trauma
"Call center. Still hate answering the phone."
– feelinit9
"I have been with my current company for 6 years and they have been determined to pull me into the call centre whether I like it or not. I initially applied for an admin position. They called me into an interview and told me that the admin position had been filled but wanted to interview me for a call centre position. I agreed to it, knowing that I would turn down any offer."
"A few days later, the offer came for the call centre position and I did turn it down. They then came back and offered me the original admin position I applied for with the caveat that I might occasionally have to cover the phones if someone was away."
"I was desperate for work so I took it. What I didn't expect is one of the call centre agents dying a few months later. They had me doing two hours on the phones for 8 months."
"The higher-ups knew I wasn't happy there, so I was eventually able to parlay that experience into a promotion into a newly created department. Like the interview for my first job, it was similarly bait-and-switch."
"They told me the job was admin work until I had accepted it and then told me there was actually some call centre work. By that point, it was too late to decline the role. And to be fair, it was actually a step up from the previous role."
"After a few years, I again made the effort to get out of the call centre. I applied for and got another promotion. The role this time, Quality Assurance for the Call Centre. I have to listen to current agents make calls to ensure they're following procedure. At least I'm not taking calls myself."
– Surax
Maintenance And Madness
"Kitchen hood and exhaust cleaner."
"Very dirty and greasy, unstable hours, weather conditions because you're outside. Only night shift. Climbing on to sketchy roofs with sketchy ladders that were almost always unstable. Not the greatest pay. Expected to do stuff close to freaking dying for pitiful wages or get fired."
"Id refuse to do certain jobs due to the extremely unsafe conditions at the job site, and I ended up being fired for it...we were using a broken ladder to climb 2 and 3 story tall buildings for months before it got replaced. Lack of working equipment...if you weren't prepared to die for the company, you were removed rather quickly for having a 'bad attitude.' "
– Far_Friendship9986
We all gotta start somewhere.
Confessions Of A Mascot
"Dancing Bear."
"I was a waiter at a kids restaurant, which had a bear as its mascot. The new guy had to 'be the bear' on their first day, which meant putting on a massive bear costume over our waiter's uniform, including a huge fur head that you could barely see out of."
"You were then led around the place to wave at the parents and play with the kids, once per hour. If you spoke, you were fired, as some of these kids were return customers who would recognize a waiter's voice."
"Wanting to impress my boss, I really hammed it up. I danced, I gestured, I goofed around, I sat on a mother's lap, I ruffled a father's hair while he growled 'get off me or I'll stab you.' The boss loved it so much that he made me be the bear every day I worked there."
"Which would be great, except it was August, and so hot that the restaurant's aircon broke. The bear suit hadn't been washed in the history of the restaurant, so served as a memorial to the sweat of a hundred fallen waiters. Little kids would run headfirst at the bear and headbutt my testicles with depressing regularity."
"And all it earned me was the disgust of my wait team, who thought I was 'goofing off work' by being the bear, since it was clearly easier than carrying two plates of reheated lasagne across the room and refilling drinks."
– PinkyLobely
Street Vending
"In college, I sold chocolate-covered frozen bananas on the streets of Manhattan. People repeatedly told me where to shove them!"
– Calm-Kaleidoscope204
Insurance Salesperson
"I sold life insurance for a lil bit, did some cold calls/ knocking on doors."
"Now I understand why people hate those young preachers on bikes. I sold ZERO policies by knocking on doors. Lasted 3 months, quit, went back to warehouses making way more $."
– Toilet_Rim_Tim
"Gas station in the bad part of the city under a blowhard boss, much like you described your former boss. Was his name Chris, and was he former military? It was tolerable as a 2nd job up until he was hired. Best night ever though was getting a call from corporate saying that no, the bloated loser called manager couldn’t fire me, and they knew he’d lied about the events that led up to my 'firing.' "
– PeepsMyHeart
Mall Mayhem
"It was my job as a security officer for the Jordan Creek Mall in West Des Moines. The women in the mall constantly laughed at us, and the men didn't respect us. Women didn't want to be with us, and men didn't want to be like us."
"Every morning when I put that plastic badge on and looked at myself in the mirror I was disgusted with myself. I was a minimum wage loser who wrote tickets for people parking in handicapped spots and called the cops to do my job for me."
"One time I wrestled with an obese woman in Victoria's Secret who was trying to steal a bra and got beaten up, and the local news showed footage of it."
– Long-Tip-5374
Faculty Member
"It might be the one I'm currently doing. Middle school public school Language Arts teacher. I'm quitting after this year. (And I've held jobs in food service, offices, and retail. This is worse.)"
– moinatx
Working in customer service can be highly unpleasant.
Unprofessional Boss
"I once worked in a store where the boss kept changing the rules, and the tense atmosphere made even lunch breaks feel like a luxury. It taught me how crucial respect at work is."
– Novalyricus
"I've been there! One of my old bosses was a micromanager who would often look for sh*t to start fights over. One time they picked up a box that had 'Dell spare parts' written on it and asked 'what's in this box marked Dell spare parts?' and apparently my answer of 'Dell spare parts' wasn't the right answer and they put the box down and stormed off."
"If they'd looked down into the partially opened box, they would have seen spare parts for Dell laptops in there."
"I also got told that I wasn't allowed to have a can of (no sugar) coke at the service desk because it could encourage kids to walk across the road and buy their own sugary drink, which was unhealthy (almost their exact words). So their solution was to physically place the can inside my coffee cup."
"They also had a 'it's gonna be one of THOSE days' outfit, so if they showed up wearing a specific outfit, you knew they were gonna be on the warpath."
"It was so fun, I actually looked for work elsewhere, but when they retired, my love for my job suddenly came back 🤔"
– davidgrayPhotography
Wake-Up Call
"lasted 8 months as a Starbucks barista in a rich area before losing all faith in humanity, faith in others' ability to be competent, and common sense and a will to live."
– Ok-Theory571
"I worked there for 2 years as my first real job, I will never forget the faces of the people who made me cry. Specifically the man who ordered a tall veranda blend and then wanted to yell at me because I couldn’t make a different turkey bacon sandwich that wasn’t the only turkey bacon sandwich we offered."
"All of that for coffee. I got in trouble for not shaking a tea. I quit after that."
– royalfire798
My first-ever job was selling video game cartridges at a Nintendo store in the local mall.
I was 15 and was often left alone by my co-worker, who would go on "breaks" that included going on a shopping spree at Wet Seal and Spencer Gifts.
The co-worker was dating the store manager, so she got away with everything. I was often left fending for myself against impatient customers who gave me a rough time for not knowing how to do transactions outside of a normal sale, like returns and exchanges–which I hadn't been trained on.
One time, a kid reached over the counter and stole an item. I called the mall security guard who caught the young thief, but I had to deal with the mom's wrath. She berated me, insisting her boy would never do such a thing and that I wasn't doing my job right.
I saw a side of the mall experience I hadn't noticed before as a frequent customer, with too many entitled customers and the teen miscreants causing chaos for employees.
After a month, I quit for my sanity.
