50 Posts From Toxic Parents Who Simply Shouldn’t Have Had Kids, Shared On This Online Community

"When I beat my wife, she bleeds and stains the carpet. How to prevent it?"

Tell you toddler to stop punching ur dog?

For f*ck sake teach your kid not to hit a dog. We have a 3yo kid and we've taught her not to hit dogs or cats.

And when the dog gets fed up, and mauls their kid, they shouldn't be shocked. I hate when parents don't put their kid's bad behavior in check.

I go with take the kid back.

This is a good burn, but it's misleading in a dangerous way. Measles is a disease for which vaccination produces herd immunity. This means that individual antivaxxers who are surrounded by people who do vaccinate can be protected by them, but when there are more antivaxxers, they spread the disease to each other and then to the small percentage of non-vaccinated people who did not develop immunity and those who could not be vaccinated for legitimate reasons. (Many of the non-immune vaccinated and those who could not be vaccinated have compromised immunity, which can put them more at risk if they do get sick.) So even if you buy into the whole sick "my child my choice" attitude of people who don't vaccinate (and apparently see their children as just another of their personal possessions), antivaxxers are not just endangering themselves and their children. They are being selfish and endangering the community as a whole.

I was a kid before the measles vaccine was available, and I got measles. My family home was quarantined, my mother wasn’t allowed to leave even to go to work (My dad had measles in the Army during the war; that’s another unhappy tale.) My mother hung all the windows with red flannel, which was believed to protect you from going blind. Regardless of that, I suffered a partial vision loss and a partial hearing loss. I also had mumps and chicken pox. Why in the name of hell would anyone risk their kids when they don’t have to?

BOOM! Unfortunately logic only fuels the antivax delusions. I must admit I am a reformed antivaxxer. My kid wasn’t vaccinated until he was 4 and starting pre-k. I have hope that there are others that will realize their “beliefs” are rooted in fear. The century worth of science and research can penetrate even the most stubborn of minds. But there are also social justice issues that have paved the way for distrust in science and the government. In those cases, education provided with compassion and not dismissal can go a long way.

Need some lotion? That burn must hurt.

Why would you want to send your child in with unvaccinated children!?

Yep and I talked to my mom about not saying such stuff when I try and the only reply I get is "you're just being dramatic"

Heartbreaking, here is how I survived. I pictured the words as little flying darts, I envisioned that I would step aside and let them fly right by, to not get any on me. To remind myself that there is always someone trying to bring you down. Recognize it has nothing to do with you, it’s there issue. Then limit your engagement, if they say “finally”, just agree say “yeah, right, amazing I could get it together”. This basically steals their fire. Get on YouTube and look up the videos on how to deal with narcissism. Take care, stay safe, drop the burden of believing there is a problem with you.

Abuse and neglect wear many masks. People, remember children are human beings too.

I was told by my relatives for many years that I would never be able to live on my own away from my mom because I was too attached to her and I have been living on my own in my own apartment for two and a half years now. I guess those relatives were wrong.

tomorrow I will turn 50. I have yet to ever do anything right.

Female reindeer have antlers, too. In fact Santa's sleigh would be pulled by females as males lose their antlers around that time - Fun fact

Honestly, I don't really blame her. Everybody forgets, and she was trying to not grow up a sexist child. It's just wildly embarrasing (like my spelling) :D

Well, female caribou/reindeer have antlers. But that's the only member of the deer family that does.

Great punch! All these people that believe that the rest of humankind is thinking blue=boy pink=girl should have an experience like this

Why is this on this list? This is neither toxic nor a parent.

When you hit your kid, the only thing you're teaching them is to be afraid of you.
