If you’re a parent with an internet connection, chances are you’ve been part of an online parenting group at least once or twice. Argue all you want about their controversial nature, but deep down inside, you know there are legions of reasons why people gather in these little communities. Whether to find empathy and support, share experiences, or be shamelessly imperfect, they can be a lifeline to moms and dads trying to navigate this highly challenging and equally rewarding journey.

But there's another explanation why we succumb to the lure of scrolling through these groups — the funny, bizarre, and utterly insane stories that almost make us lose all faith in humanity. So behold! Here’s an entertaining corner on Twitter called 'Mumsnet Madness' dedicated to shaming the painfully funny threads found on the forum. "Digging through Mumsnet so you don’t have to," the creator writes in the description, and we can’t thank them enough.

Our team at Bored Panda scoured the account — horrified by the amount of abbreviations in the posts — and wrapped up an entertaining collection of the craziest stories we found. So buckle up and get ready for a wild ride as you scroll down to decipher them. ​​Keep reading to also find an in-depth interview with a family blogger from Australia, Holly Connors.
