The Strangest Things We Wish Moms Hadn’t Done

When you're a parent, it can feel like no matter how hard you try, you always end up doing something wrong. Sometimes it's at the hands of your children who simply think everything you do is wrong because you're their mom, but then there are the times where maybe the criticism is deserved.

Everyone has had a moment where they've done something questionable, these moms just happen to have those moments where other people saw them and shared them to the internet.

The Perfect Place For It

Rather than displaying the furniture and dolls like any old person would, this mom likes to mount them on the ceiling so everyone is able to see it without it taking up any precious floor space.

That'll definitely stop the kids from ruining it, at least.

Oh, you thought that your mom would simply scroll past your Facebook post without leaving her somewhat passive-aggressive two cents in the comment?

Well, you thought wrong, kiddo. Time to get right with the Lord, I guess.

This Seems Like A Rational, Logical Reaction

We dislike it when someone leaves the toilet seat up as much as the next person, but this seems like there might be more going on than just mom being upset about the toilet.

The toilet seat is obviously the last straw here, and Mom's not playing around anymore.

We have a lot of questions about this post, but the most important one is: were you planning on telling your coworkers what was in the cookies?

If the answer is yes then we'll move on, but if the answer is no? Yes, hello HR, we just want to talk.

That's Pure Science

It hasn't occurred to this mom that the reason the potato might turn black is that it's a raw vegetable exposed to various elements, but she can tell herself whatever she wants.

Maybe the kid's benefitting from the placebo effect, and that's not bad, but there are less potato-y ways of achieving that effect.

Soak Up The Diseases

It's interesting to see the kind of things that your parents are exposed to on social media versus the things that you see on your timeline.

For instance, this mom's social media told her onions should go in every corner of the house, to soak up the diseases.

If it's embellished a little, we'd like to know why this mom felt the need to tell this story at all.

There's a limit to its uses, and this is too much.

Blame It All On This Woman

We're all looking for someone to blame for bringing a global pandemic down onto this world, but it seems like a stretch to blame a young woman who just wants to spend time having fun with her friends.

If she had that kind of power, she'd be using it for better things, I'm sure.

What would you do if you went to visit your mother and discovered that she was turning dolls' heads into glowing lamps?

You would probably make more of an effort to visit her and check in on her. This is a cry for help.

Tons of parents use the threat of Santa giving them coal as a motivator for their kids to behave well throughout the year, but this feels like we're taking the gag a little bit too far.

At that point, you're just making your kid upset and giving him a bunch of rocks to throw.

Are you punishing her because you're upset that you have a nerd for a child and you wanted her to do worse?

That's really the only reasonable excuse for wanting to punish a child for getting a 93% average.

If they have a "4.5-year-old," clearly at some point between 3 and 4.5, this woman will decide enough is enough and do away with the months.
