30 Insane Parenting Moments That Redefined Crazy This Week (May 16, 2024)

Ah, Insane Parents, the subreddit that proves not everyone should be trusted to raise tiny humans. It’s like a digital confessional for kids with parents who are either off their rockers or just plain clueless.

Thanks to this glorious corner of the internet, these kids finally have a place to vent about the absurdity that is their home life. Anonymously, of course, because calling out your parents IRL would lead to more ridiculous punishment, like losing phone privileges for a month for “having an attitude.” So here’s to you, Insane Parents, for giving these kids a platform to post the madness, one cringe-worthy post at a time.

Here are the most insane parenting posts that made us cringe this week.
