Lifestyle Writer I’ll be honest ― I’ve always wondered why people can be so possessive of what other people call their baby. We’ve written before at HuffPost UK about parents who said their children’s refusal to take their baby name suggestions on board was a denial of their freedom of speech (oof). And in a recent Reddit post shared to r/AITAH (Am I The Asshole Here), site user u/Extension-Judge-2906 said that they’d gotten so fed up with their family’s baby name thoughts, they started leaking false information. “AITA for leaking fake baby names to family?”, they asked. OP said that they’re expecting their first baby with their partner, explaining that “issues” started to arise a week after they announced the pregnancy. Some of their relatives started suggesting names, insisting they use William or Patrick for a boy and Elizabeth or Cassandra for a girl. “We were told the names mentioned were good solid names and it would prevent any weird tragic names that people these days choose,” the poster wrote. The couple told their families they weren’t accepting suggestions. Then, the post author’s husband had an idea ― he started leaking fake baby names, “commenting on random FB posts with a name and acting like we were going to use that… or Photoshopping photos with baby items that had other names on them.” These names included “Cuntley,” “Dicky,” and “Sprite,” which “annoyed the relatives it was intended to.” When the relatives realised they were hardly naming the child all three options, though, the couple explained that they did that because the offending family members had annoyed them. “They said it was childish. My husband pointed out they were the ones who childishly believed they could name our child for us,” the post ended. “Are we assholes for doing this?” Commenter u/Tellamya wrote: “NTA [not the asshole].This is peak petty and I respect it. The fact that they got so invested in your baby’s name that they fell for ‘Cuntley’ is sending me.” Meanwhile, u/Nolongeranalph commented, “My wife lovingly called her parents Mama Goat and Daddy Goat. When we announced our son’s impending arrival, we were deluged with names, so we told everyone his name would be ‘Billy.’ Her mother didn’t speak to us for months.” And u/grayblue_grrl opined: “Entitled people need to be brought back to reality. This worked. They will feel so much relief at any of the names you actually do choose.” What do you think?
Asst Prof Srirat Lapyai pointed out that Prathom children have access to these e-cigarettes, which have penetrated the Thailand market for the first time in the middle of last year. This caused parents to ask media outlets to publish this matter, she said. She noted that these disposable e-cigarettes had been produced in the shape of popular cartoon characters, toys, candy boxes, juice or milk boxes, collectable figures, key chains and stationery. This factor makes it difficult to identify as the shape of e-cigarettes is similar to that of toys, she explained, adding that they have been produced in various colours and flavours like strawberry, mango, peach, and blueberry. “Making cartoon-shaped e-cigarettes is a strategy called harm reduction, aiming to reduce the harm of cigarettes with a cute appearance,” she said.Srirat emphasised that nicotine from toy pods can affect children’s health similar to general e-cigarettes though smoking them causes less irritation to the throat. Toy pods are being sold at 99 baht apiece, making them accessible to children, she said, adding that these items are currently available near schools and online channels.New types of e-cigarettes pose risks to children, including nicotine that affects child development, and addiction since childhood could make them become the next generation of teenage smokers, she added.
LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ (AZFamily) — The Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner released its report this week regarding a baby girl who died from the heat after spending hours on a boat at Lake Havasu during the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Investigators say the 4-month-old girl, previously identified as Tanna Rae Wroblewski, spent the majority of the day on a boat at Lake Havasu, where the high temperature was estimated to be 120 degrees. According to the medical examiner’s report, the baby and her family were on the boat from about 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., and the girl was in the water on “multiple occasions” during that timeframe to keep her cool. The report noted that late that afternoon, the parents put the girl down for a nap and entered the water for a “brief period of time.” They returned to the boat to find the baby unresponsive, with blood running from her nose and “clear fluid coming from her mouth.” At that point, family members called 911 and began CPR. About 15 minutes later, paramedics arrived and found the girl lying on the floor of the boat as CPR efforts continued. A family member passed the girl to EMS, who noticed she wasn’t breathing, was pulseless and cool to the touch and was beginning to look pale. CPR continued until the infant was transferred to a hospital in Lake Havasu City. At the hospital, Wroblewski was intubated, and doctors shared concerns about dehydration. After about two hours, Wroblewski was transferred again to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, a delay reportedly caused by the excessive heat in the area. She died about an hour after arriving in Phoenix. The medical examiner concluded the cause of the death was “complications of environmental heat exposure” and ruled the manner as an “accident.” However, based on the medical examiner’s report, the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office has forwarded the case to the county attorney for review of potential negligent homicide charges.
