WATERFORD, IRELAND—On August 24, 2025, Waterford parents Cormac and Tara Hurley revealed they’re pouring all their energy into hiding the existence of pricey Labubu dolls from their daughters, Ciara (8), Rue (7), and Caoimhe (4). The Labubu-dolls-Waterford-parents struggle aims to protect their wallet from the Pop Mart craze.
“These €30-plus plushies are a nightmare—hundreds exist, and kids want them all!” Cormac told WWN. The couple has sidelined sports, hobbies, and moral guidance to focus on this mission. For more parenting satire, visit Waterford Whispers News.
“We’ve banned playdates and birthdays to avoid Labubu sightings,” Tara added. “One glimpse, and we’re broke from begging!” The Hurleys are training physically to outmuscle other parents and collectors if their daughters discover the Norwegian folklore-inspired toys. Analyst Emma Kline quipped, “Their dedication is hilariously extreme.” Check family trends at Irish Independent. At press time, fans lauded their anti-Labubu tactics.
