Let’s face it, parenting is one of the biggest challenges that we’ll ever have to face in our lives. It’s right up there alongside fighting off an alien invasion, surviving a zombie apocalypse, rocket science, and plugging in a USB cable on the first try. So it’s no wonder that most parents are less than perfect. In fact, it’s pretty much the norm.

However, they’re nowhere near the level that some of the parents featured on the ‘Parents Are Effing Dumb’ subreddit are. There, you’ll find some of the biggest fails that will make you gasp, shout “think of the children!”, and think about taking these people’s parenting license away. Remember to buckle up and upvote the pics that made your jaw drop as you scroll down the rollercoaster that is this descent into parenting weirdness.

When it comes to parenting, both extremes—absolute perfectionism/trying to be a ‘perfect’ parent and not trying hard enough—can be harmful to the family. And while it’s very clear what bad parenting is, perfectionism is more insidious and sneaky and can actually end up being just as harmful as actual neglect or ignorance, though in a very different way. We spoke about the pitfalls of this with an expert in the field of psychology.

    Emma Morton, a researcher at the University of British Columbia, explained to Bored Panda the pitfalls of perfectionist thinking and how it spreads to many areas of a person’s life, contributing to poor mental health and even depression.

    Believing that you should (or even that you can) be a so-called ‘perfect’ parent is actually detrimental to your health. What’s more, the belief that you can control every single outcome can spread to other areas of your life, not just parenting.

    “When we set excessive and inflexible high standards for ourselves and become self-critical about not meeting those, perfectionism can become a problem for our mental health and potentially contribute to depression or suicidal thoughts,” researcher Morton said.

    “Perfectionism is a very insidious problem—even if someone achieves great success in their personal or professional life, negative thinking patterns lead them to be highly self-critical, focus on perceived mistakes, or mentally discount their achievements,” Morton detailed that a perfectionist mindset dims even the biggest victories when we tend to laser-in on the various real and imagined flaws.

    The anxiety surrounding perfectionism is just as much about personal pride as it is about the desire to be respected and liked by others. “People who struggle with perfectionism may worry that they will be judged for their perceived failures, feel that they are inadequate for needing help, or assume they will be a burden on their family and friends,” she said, adding that this can make perfectionists especially vulnerable mentally and emotionally.

    As such, it’s very important that parents who make mistakes with their kids don’t overcorrect and land in the ‘perfectionist’ zone. Similarly, any parents who realize that they’re being inflexible with their standards and are overly critical of their and their kids’ (real or perceived) faults need to learn to hold back and allow room for (at least some) failure. After all, learning to deal with failure and drawing wisdom from our mistakes is what being human is all about. One thing's for sure, though: nobody wants to be that parent who ends up on 'Parents Are Effing Dumb.'

    My MIL collects golli-dolls. I asked her mother (my wife's grandmother) about it a few years back. She told me that after the war, they were left with nothing, rationing was the only thing keeping them fed. She was out begging one day with her infant child (my MIL) and someone gave her a golli doll and she has kept it ever since. The doll, to my MIL, was the first and only gift she would receive as a child and holds huge sentimentality, if her house caught fire, she would try to save them, before her husband. She knows and understands why they are racist, but for her, they represent something else, kindness, charity, safety and childhood.

    Bingo. And this does NOTHING but create resentment and retard a child's ability to establish boundaries. It does not keep kids safer, it breaks down parental/child trust, and makes a kid become VERY good at lying and sneaking around. They will still be teens, door or no door. Better have them trust and respect me with a door on their room, than take if off and lose that.

    HERE WE GO AGAIN! I am a kid that has no privacy. My parents look through my stuff, look through my phone, and guess what? I'm constantly stressed. I don't even have anything bad, I don't do drugs, I don't drink alcohol, and I sure as hell am not sexually active. Nonetheless, the lack of privacy makes it a very stressful and uncomfortable environment to live in. I have, however, gotten really good at lying, hiding things, pretending to sleep, listening for footsteps and recognizing who's they are, where they are, and what they're doing.

    Some privacy is a right, some is a privilege. All situations are different. All kids are different. If the kid is under 18, it's ok to sometimes be in your kid's business and not let them have so much privacy. If your kid earns your trust to get them a phone, then they abuse that trust, it's ok to check their phone as a parent sees fit. Parents usually pay for the phone and bill anyway. Some people are quick to blame the parents and how they treat the kids to behave the way they do. Sometimes it's outside influences such as other kids/people or possibly tv shows, not always the parents. My cousin lost her door because of her illegal activities. She was 13. She earned it back, over a 6 mos period. She learned her lesson and who it affects and why. To each their own.

    I agree. There is not enough context here to judge the parent. My sister had her door removed when we were young because she would try to sneak out through her window at night when she was 13. This was before the smartphone era. I don’t remember what the time period was but she got the door back when she stopped trying to sneak out.

    I had to learn about boundaries from my Grand Parents. My Dad was of the opinion that he pays the bills, owns the house thus owns everything IN said house which included Mum and Me and therefore no door could be barred to him. If you were the bath and he wanted to use the toilet *same room not seperate*, you had to get OUT of the bath, wrap yourself in a toilet, leave the bathroom, he would then barge past you, slam the door in your face and go toilet while you wait outside, in a towel, dripping water everywhere. Then he'd let you back in, the room now stinking of piss and s**t and tell you to CLEAN up afterwards. It was ages before I learned in no way is that NORMAL. Hell Mom would at least knock and then go: its nothing I haven't seen before. Same as being in your room, later teens they'd knock but they'd come in anyway.

    I hate this sm. Recently, I was kinda forced to come out to my aunt bc she looked through my Pinterest (only social media i have) and then I told her and lowkey burst into tears because I knew she would try to change me, and she said, AND I QUOTE "You know why you're crying? Because you know it's wrong." I've been upset ever since but it's not like I can do anything about it. Part of me can't even blame her because my phone used to be hers before, and I didn't even ask her for Pinterest before I made an account like my sister did and I've felt bad about that ever since she pointed it out, but it still makes me feel horrible because now I can't be myself like the way I've been wanting for two years, which can't even compare to how much others have had to struggle in worse conditions, and I just really hope things get better for everyone going through stupid stuff like this with their guardians.

    I did the opposite. I grew up in a house where everyone used to lock themselves in a room and never see the others, so when I had my own house, I took away the doors. Then I had a son, and we put the doors back on, because he deserves his privacy. We can still leave them opened when needed :)

    My son stared self exploration about a year ago (he's 7 now) and ever since I knock on his door if he's in there with the door closed. I don't want to see it and it's perfectly normal. I don't get some parents 😞

    My parents have threatened to take away my door and replace it with a curtain cause I kept it closed too much and never left my room and having my door closed “closed me off from the rest of the house”. That’s kinda my point, when I close my door I want to be alone, they don’t let me close it anymore unless I’m changing, sleeping or in an online class.

    I did this to my teenage son and he didn't have a door for over a year. I did it because he would slam the door in my face when I was telling him something he didn't want to hear. I gave him many warnings so I finally had to do it. Would I do it again? I like to think not, but we'll never know. He laughs about it with his friends now, but not then.

Later, he got really mad at my Brother for figuring out my Mom's password to her phone(My Brother is a master at hacking) I said, "Didn't you say there was no Privacy in this household?"

    My parents threaten to take the door off cus I slammed it at all hours as a bratty teen. A proper parent aka my mom also finds out why I was slamming my door (taking to me and finding out why I was a bratty teen because my step dad was verbally abusive to me) before taking action that could cause way more harm. Pretty much taught me emotions are okay and maybe my stepdad would have been a better parent to his stepdaughter if he wasn't physically and emotionally abused and then neglected by his parents.

    No one seems to be commenting on the fact that this person WOKE UP to find the door removed. That is absolutely not something you can just sleep through if you’re actually in the room when it is happening. That is, unless you’ve been drinking and passed out. Perhaps that’s why they removed it?

    I never had "privacy" growing up. There were five kids and three bedrooms. One for the adults, one for me and my two sisters and one for my two brothers. What is the big deal? We all got along and I did my homework during study hall and we all watched tv together in the living room.

    You could teach him the valuable lesson that, no matter how hard he works and how good he follows rules, people with power (you in that case) will never let him see a reward for it, let alone have some time to relax and recharge. That will teach him a lot about life. Or push him to burnout/suicide and stuff.

I'd like to think that I am not crazy by your defenition, but just remember that there are steryotypes that don't represent some on the population. Thanks for listening to my rant.

    Parents would rather die than admit they are wrong. One day, I demanded that my grandmother apologizes... She laughed. It was like a real life glitch.

    Oh ffs--this was not a big deal. I took sips of my parent's drinks as a child. SIPS. I wanted to know how it tasted, and no harm was done. I did not get drunk, and I did not grow up to be an alcoholic. I rarely drink as an adult--a few glasses of wine a year and that's about it. Also, people need to stop thinking that North American culture is some kind of moral compass. In Italy and France, children will drink wine mixed with water with dinner. Jesus H. Christ, this scolding "woke" generation is a peevish pain in the ass.

    And that's how children learn to be careful with fire. This kind of parenting was normal when I was young and I never felt the urge to participate in stupid social media challenges like the Tide Pod Challenge or the Bird Box challenge because I learned you've got to think about all the possible consequences of your actions.
