Anyone who’s spent even a bit of time on social media knows how overwhelming the amount of information there is. While you can definitely find some great sources, pieces of advice, and supportive people online, you also have to filter out the noise. Inevitably, you come across posts that are beyond bizarre, especially when it comes to parenting, a topic that seemingly everyone has an opinion about.
Our team at Bored Panda has collected some of the most unhinged, weird, and confusing posts ever shared in mom groups on the internet. While honesty is commendable, careless oversharing and opinions masquerading as facts can do a lot more harm than good, especially if any impressionable parents are reading your ideas. Scroll down to go down the online parenting group rabbit hole.

Can You Imagine Waking Up One Day And Your Beard Is Just Gone
Claire Ferguson 8 months ago
My 16 year old hasnt had his hair cut for about 5 years, it's down his back! I used to hate it but it's his hair he can do what he likes with it, now am jealous of it, he has lovely hair.

In my late teens, I date a young man with gorgeous long hair. His mother grumbled about him needing a hair cut. I asked if maybe she was a tad jealous. Bless her, she fessed up.

Everyone's allowed to be stupid sometimes, but some people abuse the privilege.
The simple fact is that following every single piece of advice you stumble across online, especially on social media, can be very harmful for you and your children.
You wouldn’t suddenly change your child’s diet or your entire parenting style just because you saw someone boast about how their approach is amazing and super trendy online. Similarly, you wouldn’t risk your kids’ health because you read someone’s unhinged tirade on social media.

Media literacy fundamentally revolves around looking at a source’s reliability and the information they share to determine whether the claims they make are trustworthy.
In short, it’s a way to critically evaluate any information you come across, whether you hear it on TV, read about it in the news, find it on your social media feed, or stumble across it in the online groups you’re part of.

Give your kids up for adoption by sane people and don't have anymore.
You can take a two-pronged approach to evaluating someone’s claims. First, you can double-check and cross-reference the ideas they share with other sources online. You want to see whether there’s any scientific logic or factual basis behind what someone’s writing or if they’re presenting their subjective opinion as objective fact.
The drawback is that many people are busy with work, studies, parenting, hobbies, fitness, chores, and (sometimes even) a social life, so it’s very time-consuming to check every little bit of info. To save time, you should evaluate a source’s reliability.

Gave mine ibuprofen. No problems. Tylenol safety is a dangerous myth. Pediatricians actually recommend alternating Tylenol with ibuprofen now. My adult niece almost had liver failure from it - no alcohol involved. Now they warn to not take it for hangovers (or with alcohol at all). Never worked for me anyway. Read about how Tylenol lobbied hospitals & put out fake news about ibuprofen. The only reason ibuprofen was banned was because it worked similarly to aspirin. The only reason aspirin was banned from kids was because some kids who took aspirin while having chicken pox ended up with Reyes Syndrome. Hmmmm, maybe because some kids have complications with chicken pox & back then aspirin was all we had to give them? Please, folks. Correlation does NOT imply causation.

Recently, a friend found out her baby has Potter Syndrome. I can't imagine what it would be like to give birth, excited for my child and being a mom to the child, have the nursery perfect, and that baby die within minutes of birth with me having no idea of what was coming. She's weighing whether she wants to take the risk just to hold her first baby or abort to save a child that kind of pain and the kind of pain she'll endure, not really in giving birth, but in the baby dying in her arms, if the baby makes it full term. None of you know me and I've kept much about who I am closeted, such as where I live and have lived or the places I've worked or where I got my degrees. We're in Texas and I can be sued if anyone can prove I facilitated an out of state abortion if she goes that route. Even if I give her money or I'm caught talking with her about it that favors abortion. Potter Syndrome doesn't count as an acceptable reason unless my friend nearly dies from something like sepsis if she gets an infection from low amniotic fluid, for example.

Should I Give My Child This Prescribed Medicine Or Let Her Get Dehydrated Because My Husband Knows Better?
Huddo's sister 8 months ago
There was a child in Australia a few months ago who died because her parents decided not to give her her medication. They had already been warned about what would happen if they didn't.

Won't Somebody Think Of The Radio Waves
Skogsrået 8 months ago
Yeah go ahead and skip those to give birth to a baby that weighs over 5 kilos. You don't want the midwife to rip you a new one over your stupidity so why not let that huge baby rip you a new one cause that's better. 🤦♀️

The fetus/baby may have life-long consequences due to maltreated GDM.

Baby has been exposed to all manner of sounds waves since conception. An ultrasound exam just focuses the sound waves and has a means of detecting what the waves are bouncing off of. Plus gestational diabetes is a risk to the baby.

Teachers Should Also Have To Wipe Children’s Behinds
Annik Perrot 8 months ago
That's à problem, since à 4 year old is not really able to wipe properly. OTOH, teachers should have nothing to do with kids' b*tts, as some people will be inclined to acuse them of being p*dos. In France, the pre-k teachers are assisted by ladies, who help the kids deal with logistical problems like putting shoes or coats on, but are also there in case of "accidents" (they can happen at that age) or to accompany à kid to the toilet and help them wipe properly.

Kid doesn't know how to do what he should at his age because mom doesn't know how to do what she should at her age.

Some babies are just big. My middle son was huge, he was 25lbs at 4 months, was told I was feeding him too much breast milk, asked the nurse if I was to tell him he was on a diet when crying for milk. He's 16 now and 6ft2 slim and towers over me and his dad. He other joke he must be the milkman because he so big!

Alternate Text: I Don’t Understand Taxes And My Kids Won’t, Either
K Barnes 8 months ago
Most of use received a free education that benefited us (to mixed levels but we are all online reading so there is that) so I always think of the school tax not as paying for current children's education, but paying back for mine. I also think of it as an investment in my future as I would like to have a doctor available to me when I'm 90.
Skogsrået 8 months ago
Wait a second, if she pays taxes doesn't that mean that she works too? So she works and homeschools at the same time? That poor kid won't stand a chance.
Michael Largey 8 months ago
She might be a sahm, independently wealthy, or working from home. Actually, the less that kid learns from her, the more informed he'll likely be.

Why do you pay taxes for the public library when you're an illiterate? Why pay taxes to the fire department if your house isn't on fire?
nicholas nolan 8 months ago
We homeschool and I'm very happy to pay taxes into the public schools around us. What a clown. There was a former employee that came back to visit that retired to South Carolina, and CROWED about not paying taxes to schools. Freaking gross.

There is some research that arousal/orgasms can decrease perception of pain- I think the intent is for the mother's partner to provide that stimulation, however (i.e. clitoral stimulation)

I would have thought people like this were just a figment of fantasy, but I actually had a neighbor lady like this when I was in high school. God forbid you call her son Mike in front of her. He moved away right after graduation and we never saw him again. I wonder how much she missed her only child Michael?

Please Dig The Poop Out Of My Kid's Diaper And Reuse It
Willie D'Kay 8 months ago
I'm actually just impressed the day care is changing diapers in that 3-5 minute window where the "pre poop" is all alone in the diaper before the main event. I haven't found a day care yet that is that quick on diaper changes.

She is obviously terrified of someone murdering her child while they are at school. Where would she get a crazy idea like that? What kind of s***thole country does she live in anyway??
The Scout 8 months ago
Well, that question can at least be answered immediately... For comparison, in the years 2009 to 2018 the US had 288 (!) school shootings, according to worldpopulationreview. In the same time, the next contender, Mexico, had 8 - probably because of its proximity to the US. Germany, for example, had ONE. And that was with a crossbow. See https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/school-shootings-by-country for source. That's why other countries do not do active shooter drills at school. There simply is no reason. But apparently the problem is that pupils do not carry guns...

This post isn't that insane. What is insane is that a parent has to worry about their child being shot at school
Earonn - 8 months ago
Oh, look, a parent who actually wants their child to live in gun-nuts USA, but let's make fun of them. Guys, if this parent's requests look extreme to you, that's because being a school child in your country is extremely unsafe. But sure, make fun of the parent instead of getting your f*****g school shootings under control.

As an American, it sucks and yes she’s being a bit paranoid but she’s not wrong. It’s just not safe. Whenever I’m at school I’m scared. It’s just life here. It sucks.

This one is not odd. A lot of babies are allergic to cow's milk and goat milk is a great alternative. Obviously breast feed if able but that's not always an option.
Annik Perrot 8 months ago
A family story is that my great-grand-parents had to have a goat in their garden and milk her twice à day since my grand-father could not be breastfed (breast infection) and was allergic to cow's milk. At that time (1907), you couldn't find goat's milk in the shops.
