      If I had to guess, the mother had to have been high on something. How the hell does someone mistake an oven for a crib?

        This is how you tell people you have never been severely sleep deprived without telling people you’ve never been severely sleep deprived.

        I suffer from chronic and sometimes severe insomnia. About ten years ago something triggered a “severe” episode and it refused to let up. After about two months of ~90 minutes of light sleep per 24 hour period, my mind began to shatter. I won’t get into details here about how bad it got, but I can totally see how someone could accidentally put a raw chicken in the crib and the baby in the oven.

      Maybe mom was sleep-deprived and was about to cook a turkey the same time she was taking care of the baby and maybe she put the turkey in the crib…

      😳

        I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been exhausted and later discovered I put the milk by the coffee machine and the coffee in the fridge. Same premise, slightly less terrible outcome.

          I like to drink a coffee and a glass of juice in the morning. I have put juice instead of milk in my coffee more often than I would admit.

          They’re not even in the same packaging, one is a tetra pack, the other is a tall glass bottle.

      I have never been less intelligent in my adult life than on night 7 of an acid reflux constant screaming night that never ends. That goes on for 6 weeks after birth or longer sometimes

        But still an oven and a crib are completely different things, you have to open an oven and then close it. Also ovens typically have racks in them, which would be difficult to fit a baby in with those in.

        This sounds like straight malice or insanity.

          Sleep deprivation is a few notches above insanity. You would gladly kill someone if it ment you could sleep on their corps.

            That’s only the “I haven’t slept at all in nearly a week” level, and I’m not talking like an hour a night.

            I’ve worked 12 hour shifts before commuting 1-1.5 hours each way, along with having lifelong insomnia, and half of those shifts were 7 PM to 7 AM, so I know the toll it takes on you. 4 hours or less of shitty quality sleep after working a 12 hour day and being awake for 16-18 hours, off hours (going to sleep at 9 or 10 AM and waking up at 4:30 PM) definitely takes a toll on you.

            My brother is a machine and sleeps like 3-5 hours a night, commutes hours each way, works as an electrician for like 10-16 hours, and then would come home and take care of his daughter (who just turned 4, he’s held the same job for years).

            I can’t think of a funny joke/pun since it’s 2:30 AM and I’m waiting for my 20 mg of Ambien to kick in, but your typo of corpse without the e made me think of you killing a group of people (a corps, pronounced Core, because, French) just to sleep on their corpses 😂

              If you don’t regularly get enough restful sleep you can start microsleeping and you wont be aware of it. I’d have a stern talk with your brother about that since he does dangerous work as an electrician and has a young daughter.

                I’ve tried to but he’s stubborn as hell and doesn’t listen, he’s 4 years older than me. He breaks my balls about relying on Ambien for sleep. His opinion is “if I’m fucked up I wanna feel fucked up” (as in “something is wrong”) and I retorted “do you want to feel that way for the next 40-50 years when it can be remedied?” and his only response was " you got me there… "
