30 People Get Real And Honest About What Screams Trashy Parents

Anywhere, really. Part of being a parent is to always monitor your children, especially when they’re little. Older children (like teenagers) can be allowed to wander a bit, but must also strictly agree to meet back in a designated place and at a designated time. Teaching your children not to destroy what is not theirs—-and also not destroy what is theirs—-will help them navigate through a society that sticks to the rule “Of you break it, you bought it”. Also, it teaches them to respect the people who work in stores, don’t make a lot of money, but would have to clean up the mess your children make—-which really shouldn’t be their responsibility. It should be YOURS and YOUR CHILDREN’S.

I would never undestand this. I mean, beside the "parents should watch their kids behaviour", being a mother, I want my kids still alive at the end of the day. Lifeguards are good and probably professional, but I would never be able to rely only on them when they have at thé same time, every other users to watch.

Both of these things drive me nuts. 😡

dont be shy give em a little bump in the pool and be like opps i triped

Me too! Nothing can replace the supervision of a parent, but some parents throw 5 year olds in the pool with a float toy and hit the cafe!

Omg I watch bondi rescue and the amount of parents that don’t watch their kids at the beach blows my mind. Nevermind the amount of kids that drown, almost drown or go missing. Some people just shouldn’t have kids. Period.

They're trying to shame them into obeying :(

SO many of them doing this!

I had neighbors, the daughter was 7 at the time, the son 5. She was "responsible" for her brother when they were playing outside. When the mother offered me a coffee in their appartement, I told her I was watching my kids (4&6yo at the time) while they were biking on the street. Low traffic, I warned them to get off the street whem a car was coming. She told "don't worry my daughter will be in charge". 7yo responsible for my kids life, well no thanks, I don't need a coffee. Imagine thé poor girl if something happen and she spend her whole life feeling guilty for something that should never have been her role

Religion, lack of education, “traditional” gender roles, skewed sense of normal due to own upbringing and social environment

My friend mentioned that she’d had her eldest (16 at the time) watch her younger siblings (5, ranging from 14 to 6) for 15 minutes whilst she popped out to get something she’d forgotten whilst shopping and the comments were awful. Having a kid who’s almost an adult watch younger ones for less than an hour is not parentification, it’s smart parenting. Otherwise she’d spend twice as long strapping and unstrapping the younger ones into their car seats (even with help).

Right?!? what is the point of having so many kids that you can't afford or take care of?

Because Mormons seek to populate “Zion” with devout more Mormons

Ego. Just like that.

You must come from a small family whose ages are spread out. This is just the way it works in large families. Kids help in the kitchen, diapering, having responsibilities in the house. It doesn't mean that they are made responsible for the other younger siblings, but they help out with everything.

It depends? My grandparents had 3 boys, then tried 1 more time because my Granddad really wanted a daughter too; they got their girl, but didn't treat the boys any differently.

So many people don't understand this. Education, access to medical care and contraception, and realistic opportunities lead to smaller families. End of.

Doesn't make it all right. Population growth is a major concern with regards to climate change. Girls / women need better education, and to be empowered to seek access to birth controll and avoidancebof arranged / forced marriages. However, this doesn't excuse women in developed nations who have access to free education and free health care from their actions. Multiple kids from various fathers whilst receiving state handouts is not ok.

I wonder , do they do that at home? Used to clean hotel room bathrooms, my god the disgusting things people do, one actually tried to flush a disposable nappy down the toilet, they leave them on shelves, on the sink in a kitchenette I could go on but put simply, people are pigs. Roll the nappy up, put it in a disposable bag, put it in the garbage, it’s not rocket science.

in my coffee shop, sometimes people will use the baby change facilities. there is a bin right there and they will leave it on the changing table. or leave it on their actual table in the cafe. why?!

I would mind. Disgusting behaviour.

Ah yes, vicarious parenting. Not unique to mothers/daughters

Fathers unfortunately do this to their sons too

That was my mom with me. We never really got along, because she could never accept that I wasn't like her in most ways.

This this this!

That’s how my mother is, I can’t leave the house, I can’t see friends. She’s trying to redo her life through me. I only stay home with my siblings.

That's what happened (from my understanding of this) with Jennette McCurdy from iCarly. ... And don't get me started on Dan Schneider.

Especially abusive parents

Children don't deserve those people

Few people deserve children, in the same sense that few people deserve colon cancer.

Some children don't deserve their parents.

My take is that that is paraphrased. Pointing out that what they did was effectively nothing is not rude imo, how they do it could certainly be rude.

Rudely? How about truthfully instead?
