67 Irresponsible, Toxic, And Stupid Mothers Showing Their True Colors And Infuriating People (New Pics)
Back in the day, moms had to rely on their mothers, aunts, and neighbors named Susan for advice about parenting. Nowadays, mothers can find community online, with many Facebook and other types of groups dedicated to parents. As of 2024, Facebook is still the top platform for moms, with parenting, neighborhood advice, and logistics groups being the most popular.
Yet, some of the moms in those groups have a certain way of seeing the world. The groups can be a breeding ground for anti-vaxxers, essential oil healers, and relationship drama that's better than a soap opera. Luckily, there's an online group that collects these ridiculous posts and shames their ridiculous members – "[Stuff] Mom Groups Say." Here are the newest posts from the community trying to inject some common sense into modern parenting.

I Feel So Bad For This Poor Boy
The Internet and social media made some aspects of parenting easier. You can find and book afterschool activities for your kids more easily than ever before. There are heaps of teaching materials and tutorials: from breastfeeding to introducing solids, from how to effectively clean a high chair to what's the best water bottle on the market.
It seems that as much of our everyday communication, including with relatives, colleagues, and even friends, has moved to online spaces, it should be easier than ever to join a parenting group that can provide moms with emotional and practical support. However, joining them is the easiest part of the job; finding parents whose views and values align with yours might be more difficult.

This list highlights the ridiculousness that can be found in parenting communities online. However, some of them are quite helpful for parents. In fact, in 2025, the Pew Research Center asked parents about their use of online communities; many said they found good advice and reassurance.
The r/Parenting subreddit was especially popular among the surveyed parents, with many expressing that the community is far from toxic. In fact, many saw it as an exception to the "never read the comments" rule online. In r/Parenting, the comment section is "overwhelmingly positive," and even posts that express negative emotions receive a lot of support.

Interestingly, mothers look for support in parenting online more often than fathers. Pew found that 42% of moms regularly visit online spaces where they can discuss parenting and ask for advice. In turn, only 22% of fathers said the same. 34% of parents overall visit places like r/Parenting at least monthly. Newer parents are also most likely to visit such online communities. After all, it's when parents feel most vulnerable and trust those with more experience who can offer unbiased opinions.

Salt water gargle (just needs to be plain salt) is valid. Forget the essential oils and just get some hot and sour soup 👍

Essential Oils Do It All!
Even if parenting online spaces aren't as toxic as the ones on this list, some parents still have mixed feelings about them. While it's true that the majority end up feeling more informed about parenting and feel closer to other parents and even their partners, many start to worry about their parenting abilities. 38% of the respondents in the Pew survey said they feel overwhelmed by the amount of information they need to know, leading to them feeling inadequate as parents.

I Cannot Stand The Trope Of Being A Mom To Your Husband
Each story or question that a parent posts online is unique and personal, but there are certain topics that get covered more often than others. The most popular one, at least on r/Parenting, is how parents divide childcare and household duties. Another topic that parents seek advice on a lot is children's use of technology and screen time.
Video games are a concern too, as many parents ask about their kids playing Roblox or Minecraft. Finances are a popular topic as well, with threads about the affordability of school tuition, rent, mortgages, whether families can afford one stay-at-home parent, and so on.

"Monat Makes Me A Millionaire"
While communities like r/Parenting are mostly supportive, other online groups can be less welcoming. This can also be true for real-life mom groups. As Miami-based therapist Dr. Christie Ferrari explained to The Independent, insecurities and internalized misogyny lead to mom groups becoming policed environments.
Women are socialized to be "pleasant, peaceful and to avoid open conflict to maintain our appearances," Dr. Ferrari says. So, when the moment to communicate and resolve conflicts comes, many women are ill-equipped.

It Was A Mouse Study, And It Most Certainly Did Not Say That
That doesn't mean that all moms are "mean girls." Complicated feelings and conflicts with other moms are often caused by fears of becoming a new mom, relentless comparisons, and feelings of inadequacy as a new parent. Essentially, moms acting out in mom groups are not jerks, it just might be their inconsiderate way to cope with the stress of being a parent.

You Don’t Need Either

I recall this was shown in an episode of Little House On The Prairie, when Carolyn Ingalls got a nasty cut on her leg. She took some bread, dipped it in something, put it on the cut and wrapped it. It got terribly infected to the point she was about to amputate because that's what she read to do in the Bible. That was the first time I heard of the bread treatment. It didn't look convincing.

This Isn’t Concerning At All
StrangeOne 7 hours ago
What is with some parents always wanting to d**g their kids to get them to sleep? I heard this so much when I kid was young. Not this, per se, but giving them baby Tylenol or something like that.
Yet, that doesn't really apply to many moms on this list – thinking that vaccines cause autism or falling into the rabbit hole of healing with essential oils are results of deeper issues. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy this list of posts from "[Stuff] Mom Groups Say." Which post stuck out to you most? Let us know in the comments. And, in the meantime, check out our previous publications on the group that ridicules toxic mothers here, here, and here!

The Vaccine Is For Cats
Mrreoww 3 hours ago
When I was younger, I fed and played with the stray cats a lot. I had allergies too, and my mom was convinced it was the cats. I stopped visiting the cats but, spoiler alert, my allergies did not stop. My mom went on to theorise that maybe it was peanut butter, maybe it was curd, maybe it was cashews, the list went on. Next thing she’ll tell me I’m allergic to water.
