guna change tonight. lol. i hope i get a good grade on

Answer 1

i've never done this before, but i wish we had it when i was in child development. It looked like a lot of fun, and i wanted to see what itd be like to be a parent. (yes, i know its not as hard as being a parent but it would give me some idea). Ive seen many people carrying them around before though. It didnt look like itd be that hard. I would be kinda embarrassed, though. I'd feel like i was just carrying around a baby doll, and looking like a little kid. lol. The only way id think itd be hard would be when it woke you up, and having to take it everywhere. How do those things work anyways? How do they know you didnt just leave the baby at home, or let it cry?

Answer 2

oh yeah. i had one, a girl, i named her Mackenzie. except back when i took it in high school, we had the one with the key in the back. that thing was a pain in the butt, and it hurt your wrist after a while. i had a particularly fussy one, but i got an A, and it wasnt hard at all. [[except getting woke up at 2 3 and 4 oclock in the morning]] we had to keep ours for either a weekend or 1 school night. my dumb self picked a whole weekend. how long do you keep yours for?

good luck!

EDIT: Nicole, they have sensors, like a computer chip or something, in the back. when you return it to the teacher, she will hook up a machine to it and show her a set of numbers. the different numbers stood for different things, neglect, abuse, etc. it could sense when you hit it or dropped it and if you just left it crying it would register as neglect on the chip and give that number to your teacher.
