30 Irresponsible, Toxic, And Stupid Mothers Showing Their True Colors Online
Not every person is suited for parenthood, and that’s okay. What isn’t acceptable is choosing to raise a child even with the apparent lack of ability and willingness to do better.
Today, we’re putting a spotlight on toxic mothers. You’ll see screenshots showing their blatant disrespect for boundaries and privacy. Some may have even risked their kids’ health and well-being. Be forewarned, as a few of these are disturbingly wrong.
We’ve picked out these posts from this subreddit to highlight some of their behavior. Hopefully, none of you went through similar ordeals as children. If you’re a mom, let these bad parenting examples be your reminder of what to avoid at all costs.

"Your Not A Real Mum Unless You Gave Vaginal Birth To It"
arthbach 2 years ago
Being a mum has nothing to do with vaginal birth, c-sections, or even squeezing them out of your belly button. Being a mum is about love, wiping tears, wiping bottoms, wiping snot (there's a lot of wiping in the early days). It's about singing silly songs, and reading the same book to your child 100 times in a row. It's about being there, doing the mum-ing, teaching them, and helping them to grow up into kind, loving adults who care about fairness and equality.

Spank Your Kid Because They Have Accidents, With Bonus Ignoring Medical Professionals
clairebear 2 years ago
I would check to see if there is anything funny going on. Kids will do this when they are being abused to make themselves "unattractive". Of course it might be stress, too scared to ask to go to the toilet, or too distracted to realise she wants to go. Might also be a regression because there is a baby at home and they want similar attention. I think we can agree spanking is a no no.

I know someone this could be. 1st one at 14, went back for her 6? week check-up and the doc patted her on the knee and said congratulations. She honestly couldn't understand how she could be pregnant again. Best I remember, she had 4 by the age of 18. Years later she also couldn't understand that just because she'd had a hysterectomy, she still needed to get a yearly exam, that she could still get cervical cancer.

Everything electrical generates EMF (Electromagnetic fields). Radio stations, refrigerators, cars, lights, anything with batteries, even cell phones in airplane mode. Even your brain, unless you are dead. If you stay outside too long, electromagnetic radiation will kill your skin cells, because sunlight is electromagnetic radiation.

Where Can I Get My Kid Tattooed?
detective miller's hat 2 years ago
this is one isn't TOO crazy. I mean yeah 15 is kind of young for tattoos, but at the same time, my sister let her daughter get one when she was 16. The kid was going to try and get it anyway, so my sis just figured she'd rather have her go to a legit tattoo artist rather than whatever my niece would have been able to find by herself (her friends were talking about buying a tattoo kit online T.T). Sis said she can always get it removed later if she really regrets it, but now niece is 19 and has five more tats, so she doesn't regret it yet.....

The Bible says in James 5:14 that if you're sick, you're to go to the elders of the church for prayer and be anointed with oil in the name of the Lord. So I can imagine that when you go to the doctor, he/she would be dumbfounded because they couldn't find anything wrong.
