Family lives on cruise with free laundry and childcare — it's a splashy life with one major downside
Staying afloat while raising a toddler is hard enough on dry land — this mama's doing it on the high seas. 'We basically live on a on board ships while my fiancé is at work,' said Chelsea, a Scottish mom of a nearly two-year-old tot named Mattia, in a trending tell-all about her atypical life on the waves. She's in the ever-expanding number of folks who've forgone the grass and ground for the motion of the ocean. 4 Chelsea, a Scottish bride-to-be and mom of one, detailed living life aboard a cruise while raising a toddler. TikTok/ It's a lifestyle that's picked up steam over the past few years. Nonconformists of all ages are jumping ship from tradition — quitting their jobs and selling their homes — and becoming perpetual boat passengers. But Chelsea, a bride-to-be engaged to Domenico, a professional seaman, explained that her little family only participates in the alternative lifestyle part-time. They actually own a home in Italy. However, when Domenico is on duty, she and Mattia join him aboard, spending eight-week stretches on luxury liners, sailing around the world from shore to shore. 4 Cruise ship living has become increasingly popular in the recent past. Getty Images And sure, globetrotting via glammed-out tubs might sound like a dream — owing to the all-inclusive grub, splashy amenities —like free laundry — and childcare centers. But Chelsea says rearing a little one in a cramped cabin can often be a nightmare. 'I was asked what it's like managing space in a crew ship cabin with a toddler,' she ranted in a separate vid before giving over 129,000 TikTok viewers the grand tour of her tight accommodations. She detailed her unending struggle to keep their close quarters clean while making sure Mattia has enough room to play, sleep and explore. 'The first giant burden is this travel cot,' she said of her kiddo's portable crib. 'Even though Mattia sometimes comes in our bed, some nights…the reason we have this [travel cot] is because at least we can have some part of the night where we're not all crammed in the bed.' 4 Chelsea explained that life on the go can be fun, but keeping her family's cabin clean can be a hassle. TikTok/ Chelsea then gave online audiences a glimpse at their itty-bitty bathroom — outfitted with a small shower, sink, toilet and wall cabinet — where she's barely able to store her son's inflatable tub and the family's toiletries. A resourceful mother, Chelsea tried designating a corner for Mattia's books and toys (rather than stuffing them under the bed to free up some extra space). But the baby rarely limits his play to the tiny nook. The insufficient elbow room notwithstanding, Chelsea revealed that her trio enjoys complimentary laundering services while on the water. However, closet and storage space is sparse and difficult to keep organized. She houses her and Domenico's bikinis and swim trunks, undies and socks in small drawers. 4 The resourceful mama manages to keep her child's toys, diapers and must-haves organized in their tiny room. TikTok/ Mattia's clothes, diapers and wipes have a special place in a cabinet-turned-wardrobe. The seafaring fam also has a shelf dedicated to snacks and miscellaneous goodies, as well as a bite-sized refrigerator for cold drinks and bites. 'So, that's how we manage our space as small as it is,' Chelsea said in conclusion, admitting that they're 'barely' in the room outside of bedtime — otherwise they're hitting the pools, kiddie playgrounds, restaurants or sunning decks. 'I feel like a pro now. I feel like I know what I'm doing,' she bragged. 'And that is La Cabina.' 'Stunning.'

A toddler crawled into her baby sister's crib—and showed us what love looks like before language
A grainy baby monitor clip posted to TikTok by @unfiltered_mum has racked up over 7.7 million views—and it's not hard to see why. In the video, a toddler named Arlia gently climbs into her baby sister Kiarra's crib. She scoots in beside her, wraps a small blanket around them both, and plants a pacifier-muted kiss on her sister's forehead. The baby gazes up at her big sister, wide-eyed and calm. There's no dramatic music or flashy edits—just a tender moment between siblings, quietly unfolding in the early morning light. While some viewers were quick to raise concerns about safe sleep practices, many others saw what Arlia's mother, Veronica, saw: a rare and precious glimpse into the emotional bond forming between two young sisters—before they even share a full language to express it. The video begins with Arlia, just three years old, quietly entering her baby sister's room after noticing Kiarra had woken up. 'Mummy, Kiarra's awake. Can I go give her a cuddle?' Veronica told Newsweek. What followed was something many parents might dream of but rarely witness so clearly: Arlia climbs into the crib, settles in beside her seven-month-old sister, and instinctively pulls a small blanket over them both. She chats softly, as toddlers do, while Kiarra stares up at her with full-body focus. There's a kiss. A shared stillness. Then more quiet conversation between the two—spoken in toddler rhythms and baby expressions. It's a scene that resonates not because it's unusual, but because it's so achingly pure. The kind of moment parents hope their children will share—but rarely get to see play out with such clarity. From another room, Veronica watched it all unfold on the baby monitor. She didn't intervene, didn't direct or pose—it was simply happening. 'I want them to love one another as much as my sister and I love each other,' she told Newsweek, reflecting on what she witnessed. For parents of more than one child, these small, unprompted moments can feel like gold dust: unexpected, unscripted flashes of connection that hint at a lifelong bond in the making. Arlia's tenderness mattered—but it was the quiet confidence behind it that truly resonated. The way she climbed in not to play or perform, but simply to be close. It was, as Veronica described it, a moment of grace. The kind of scene you carry in your heart long after the crib has been packed away. Though neither child in the video is fluent in language, what's exchanged between them is unmistakable: affection, empathy, and connection. Research shows that early acts of nurturing, especially between siblings, play an important role in developing empathy and emotional regulation in young children. Studies indicate that toddlers who engage in caring behaviors toward their siblings build important social and emotional skills. For example, a review published in Frontiers in Psychology highlights how early sibling interactions promote the development of emotional intelligence, including the ability to share, cooperate, and manage feelings. Similarly, the Child Mind Institute explains that these early relationships help children learn empathy and conflict resolution, even before they have the words to express these concepts fully. In Arlia's quiet crib-side visit, we see one of these foundational moments unfolding. She's showing affection as part of practicing skills that build healthy relationships for life. Related: AAP releases new 2022 safe sleep guidelines: Here's what parents and caregivers need to know The video sparked a lively conversation online, revealing two distinct schools of thought. On one side, many viewers raised safety concerns, especially about the blanket and stuffed toys in the baby's crib: Gwen: 'SIDS sleep environment, I'm from Australia. please use a sleeping bag, no toys eeek' Superfluous_Jam: 'Lovely moment but that baby is too young to have a blanket. Please invest in a sleepsack for safety' becca777xx : 'Sooo sweet. Please look up crib safety, nothing in the crib with baby (blankets/teddys etc.) ' Mark King8920: 'Stuffies and blankets…danger' But alongside these safety concerns, many commenters urged empathy and understanding. Rosemary Winter: 'I rushed to the comments and they didn't disappoint . That is a beautiful moment for a wee family to have and witness! My kids had toys, blankets and cot bumpers and are happy, healthy adults. Absolutely no disrespect intended because these new guidelines are in place for a reason but give a mum a break ' Rekaszoke88: 'The amount of people that play the 'no blanket no stuffy' police the video is representing the love between siblings. You may just wanna focus on that and let their mama do her thing. She wasn't asking for advice but share this beautiful bond' This range of reactions shows how parenting decisions—especially in the public eye—can inspire both concern and support. It also reminds us that behind every clip, there's a real family making the best choices they can in the moment. It's understandable that some viewers reacted strongly to the sight of a baby with a blanket and stuffed toy in the crib. Safe sleep guidelines exist for a reason, and they're rooted in data that has helped reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related infant deaths. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, babies should be placed on their backs for sleep, on a firm mattress with no loose bedding, pillows, or stuffed animals. These recommendations are especially important during the first year of life, when infants are most vulnerable. Instead of blankets, many experts suggest sleep sacks or wearable blankets, which offer warmth without the risk of covering a baby's face. Related: Your 10 most pressing baby safety questions, answered by a pediatrician That said, parenting isn't lived in ideal conditions—it's lived in 2 a.m. decisions, in the tension between exhaustion and intuition. Veronica, the girls' mother, explained in her Newsweek interview that Kiarra had been waking every 20 minutes due to separation anxiety, and that introducing a lightweight comforter after seven months helped her daughter finally rest. 'I am just doing what works best for my family,' she said. In a perfect world, all sleep environments would check every safety box. But in real life, parents are often navigating the space between the ideal and the practical. Recognizing that reality—without erasing the importance of guidelines—is part of building a more compassionate parenting culture. There were no words in that crib—just a kiss, a blanket, and a toddler's instinct to care. But in that quiet moment, a lifelong bond was beginning. These small, everyday acts between siblings often go unnoticed. They're not milestones, but they shape who our children become. So the next time you catch a glance, a giggle, or a gesture of love—pause. Sometimes the most powerful connections are the ones made before either child can speak.
