Demanding Parents Who Aren’t Getting A World’s Best Parent Mug Anytime Soon
When you were a kid, perhaps you thought your parents were too harsh when they wouldn't let you go over to a friend's house or get a chocolate bar at the grocery store.
If so, I have good news for you. You'll feel a lot better about your own childhood after looking at these parents and their insane actions.
Flushing Nemo
Parents often tell us that if we want a dog, it's our responsibility to feed them, take them out for walks, and clean up after them. While dogs are a big responsibility, pets such as fish are pretty chill—unless you're this parent.
Arriving in theaters next summer, Pixar presents, Flushing Nemo.
No Privacy Until You're 18 Years Old
Breaking news: Children are autonomous human beings and deserve privacy—unless you're this insane parent.
Remember, parents, if you behave like this, don't be surprised when your kid moves out at 18 and then wants nothing to do with you. Surprised Pikachu face.
Can I Have Your Social Insurance Number?
It's reasonable to say that if someone randomly asks you for private info, such as banking information, you're probably in for a bad time.
This dad (which is a strong term here) demanded his daughter give him her Social Security number and when she refused, says she "lost $250,000." That fake prince in Nigeria must be so disappointed right now.
Dinner Is Served
This Reddit user explains that she was babysitting her cousin one day because her dad was away on business. When asked what to serve the cousin for dinner, the dad said "dinner is in the freezer."
Behold, a bag of frozen broccoli and a AA battery. I think I must have missed that part of the food pyramid.
When Mommy Needs To Put Down The Pinot Grigio
The user who shared this screenshot suspects their mother (once again, very strong term here) was intoxicated when she sent this text.
Another checkmark as to why boomers shouldn't be allowed to use text messaging or social media.
Dumbest Dad Of The Year
There are a lot of things people will do to get likes on social media. For some parents, many of them also include using their children for social media attention.
But this dad has gone a step further by putting his baby next to a glass door to tempt a cheetah to run into the door so he can share it online. "Hello, CPS...?"
That Pesky Justin Trudeau
This mom texted her kid to warn them that daddy dearest has some bizarre theories regarding the Canadian prime minister shutting down the internet, according to "his sources."
Sorry, Dad, but Aunt Susan's Facebook meme doesn't count.
Future Generations Can Go Blank Themselves
When it comes to environmentalism, people want to make changes not just for themselves, but for their children and grandchildren.
But not this mom (AKA Klimate Karen). With gas prices currently over $4 a gallon, there's only one thing on her mind. How else will she drive to her son's hockey games and act like a Karen?
License To Drive
There are a lot of people out there who are reluctant to loan people money or let people borrow their stuff. After this woman loaned her dad her car and he refused to give her back her spare key, she probably should have been one of them.
Dad deserves a lifetime of being doomed to public transit.
A Public Humiliation
Fed up with their child's "disrespect," these parents publicly humiliated their daughter by making her stand on a sidewalk while holding a sign that reads "I'm disrespectful to my parents! Honk if I'm wrong!"
And then to pour salt water into the wound, they shared this image to Facebook.
Changing Moods Just Like The Weather
It's probably fair to say that this mom changes moods as quickly as the weather.
While she claims to love her daughter more than "anything in the planet" (huh?), it's definitely fair to say that her level of insane parenting is out of this world.
When Karma Meets Genetics
If you remember high school biology, then you'd know that genetics are pretty complicated and the outcome of what traits offspring may or may not have is not totally predictable.
While this woman was probably upset at the time, she definitely dodged a huge bullet in who was almost her future mother-in-law.
Trolling A Parent: Microsoft Word Style
After getting a text from their dad regarding their decision to get vaccinated, this Reddit user decided to not let their dad's "vaccine silliness" go unanswered.
As demonstrated, the best defense to utter stupidity is often raging sarcasm.
Hola! Me Llamo...
This teacher wanted to broaden her students' horizons by teaching them how to say "Hello, my name is..." in Spanish. Unfortunately, this mom no le gusta her kid learning a foreign language.
Fun fact, approximately 40 million people in the United States speak Spanish at home. Ergo, her point is useless.
Netflix And Don't Chill Because Mom's Hogging The Account
There's nothing like relaxing after a long day of work or class, grabbing a snack, and blobbing on the couch while you watch some mindless television. Oh wait, except this person can't because their mom is watching two Netflix shows on two individual screens.
Great taste in television, poor taste in manners.
How Not To Teach Your Child About Healthy Eating
There are many of ways to teach your children about the importance of healthy eating. This coffee mug that says "A moment on the lips is forever on the hips" is definitely not one of those methods.
He is a very cute hippo with a very, very bad message.
The Indifferent Incubator
The person explains that they recently came out to their mother. But the first time, their mother ignored them, so when they attempted it a second time, their mom (also referred to as the "Incubator") pretended to have amnesia.
Surely if I ignore my problems they'll go away!
Decapitated Muffins
This baffled Reddit user said that their mom "decapitated" the top of this muffin before asking, "Why not cut it vertically? Who does this?!?!"
Is this mom as bad as other parents on this list? No, but if you decapitate a beloved pastry then you can't be trusted in my books.
The Return Of Common Sense
Whether you're working a 9-5 corporate job or you're mowing your neighbor's lawn, any kind of labor deserves a fair wage. When this Facebook user asked the community for help gardening, a mom quickly volunteered her daughter and said no payment was necessary.
Luckily the woman had common sense; unfortunately the same can't be said for Mom.
Disappearing Doorknobs
This Reddit user simply writes, "My Dad says I don't deserve or need a doorknob."
Fast-forward to three years from now when this dad inevitably asks, "My son moved out and hasn't spoken to me in years, but I can't seem to figure out why?"
