My teenager brought an ‘infant simulator’ home from school, We told ourselves the shared experience would be fun. It was not..

Is this just for deterring teen pregnancies? Or is also about population control in general and convincing people not to reproduce?

For liberals, it would be the latter. Did they mention this droid has zero carbon emissions?

And it reminds me why we did not have a third—we would have been outnumbered.

A comedian once said something like your parenting is really tested when you have to go from man-to-man to zone coverage.

A co-worker’s husband is a police officer. One night on patrol he noticed a car where the teens were tossing around what looked like a baby. He pulled the car over and found out it was one of these simulators. So he gives these kids a lecture on car seats and threatens to call their teacher. Put the fear of God in them. Great story.

This sort of thing has been going on for a while, and had some really bizarre psychological stuff involved with it.

In one high school, the students carried 5 pound bags of flour, and male students started competing with each other as to who could puncture those bags. Simulated infanticide.

However, in other schools with a high pregnancy rate, real babies had to be excluded from some classrooms not out of animosity or noise, but because both girl and boy students wanted to fawn over them.

Does it later demand the car keys then run off a simulated stripper or garage band guitarist?

The goals of these trainig devices is to implant an aversion to children. They have been in use since the eighties, carrying eggs that make noises, babies dolls that make noises. Because they do not tell the truth about babies, they are fun and give back. another way to genocide

Well, remarkably similar is some way to the RealCare baby is the RealCareStudent model, funded by George Soros. It is very demanding and and is prone by nature to dictate. And protests all that it finds offensive, which is much, being triggered by everything from cultural appropriation to hamburgers to cars to Christian crosses, and avoids having children, and tends to support aborting them. How the professor cares for it via (as reported by integrated chips) determines whether they get tenure or not.

Yet we all complain too much.

Two of my cousins were fussy babies. Nothing worked except “ride in the car.” Even at 3am, Auntie would take them for a spin, then carry them back in the house like she was carrying explosives.
Luckily most babies settle for a walk in the nursery.

As a teenager, I babysat a lot. One of my first jobs was working as a receptionist in a pediatrician’s office.
We have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

"Is it assigned equally to boys & girls?"

For boys they need a, "programable wife" simulator. She will nag you when you go fishing instead of doing yard work. I can only imagine the millions of lines of code that it would take to accurately portray marriage as it really is! JK ladies

We have 4 children and fostered another one.

The foster son was rescued from a drug abusing family. He is career military with a great wife and two children of his own, living a very success and prosperous life.

The next two are Marines, one is married and one is not.
Non of them carry any debt, they have paid cash for everything they have. The married one ( married in August) has $26,000 saved for a house expecting to have around $60k at the end of the year.

My wife home schooled them all and taught them how not to make common mistakes and so far they are doing wonderful.

Watching my two sons graduate from basic training and then SOI was one of the greats moments of my life.
Seeing the others on straight and narrow paths has brought more satisfaction than anything I ever imagined or dreamed about.

The world lies. The culture is driven by sin and despair.

My relationship with my wife of almost 30 years is stronger every year and more fulfilling than the lustful imaginations the world wishes to destroy commitment and contentment with.

I guess your comment was probably “tongue-in-cheek” but it certainly is the common way of thinking.

Years ago, my daughter was assigned one of these “babies”...Probably not as sophisticated as those of today, but the school could read if it was mistreated....

I didn’t know about it and when I got home from work the first day, the “baby” in a basket in the living room...I just picked up the basket and tossed it onto my daughter’s bed in her room....

I had to go to the school to explain what had happened when my daughter came home crying...

With "designer babies" that could be "explained" as mixing models up.

If they really want to deter pregnancy show those teens the navy child birth video. They showed that in my dorm freshman year. All I could think was I'm never going down that road. 😆
