Parenting is supposed to bring out the best in people. Instead, some of these parents are out here posting things so unhinged it’s a miracle they’re allowed near juice boxes.
This isn’t “relatable chaos.” It’s full-blown, “how are you raising a human?” energy. Wild confessions, bad ideas, and moments that feel more like fever dreams than parenting advice.
Here are the wildest and most unhinged parenting posts we saw this week. Good luck making it through without questioning everything.
1. Nothing says ‘natural parenting’ like ignoring a possible toxic ingestion for five days.
2. Shockingly, letting your baby snack on chemical beads is not a wellness trend.
3. At this point, that kid is going to need a forwarding address.
4. Just waiting for nature to send a formal eviction notice, apparently.
5. If the hospital recommends it, it must be a trap. Obviously.
6. Thousands of women can’t be wrong. Except when they are.
7. Reality check: personal anecdotes are not scientific studies.
8. Nothing says ‘modern parenting’ like crowdsourcing a demonologist instead of a doctor.
9. Forget experts. Trust your vibes and a Pinterest board instead.
10. Breaking news: Someone existed in the same building. Panic accordingly.
11. Imagine surviving a trip to Walmart only to turn it into a Lifetime movie.
12. Finally, a blurry photo to solve absolutely nothing.
13. Nothing says ‘credible source’ like your aunt’s Facebook comment section.
14. At this point, just hand them a loyalty card at Labor and Delivery.
15. Newborn in one arm, positive pregnancy test in the other. Just vibes.
16. Nothing says ‘parenting instincts’ like ignoring lung crackles.
17. Why trust doctors when Brenda from Facebook has vibes-based medicine?
18. Shocking advice ahead: Maybe listen to the person with a medical license.
19. Modern medicine? Nah, just hit it with oil and oregano and hope for the best.
20. Why deliver the baby when you can deliver questionable decisions instead?
21. Science, but make it Facebook-educated.
22. When even the internet collectively says ‘please just see a doctor,’ you know it’s bad.
23. Congratulations on adopting a teenager. Sorry he came with opinions and earbuds.
24. Imagine adopting a whole human just to be mad about earbuds.
25. Shoutout to the 5% who probably think duct tape is a medical solution.
26. When the rash has its own zip code but you’re still crowdsourcing a diagnosis.
27. When Facebook moms unite to say ‘go to the doctor,’ it’s basically a medical emergency.
28. Somebody call Pixar, because apparently we’re freeing the lice now.
29. When you’re more worried about the lice’s feelings than your kid’s scalp.
30. Just a normal sleep thread… until someone suggests de-worming a child.
31. When your kid won’t nap and Facebook skips straight to parasite removal.
32. Ear infections? Nah, just crack the spine and pray harder.
33. Nothing like a back crack to cure something nowhere near your back.
34. Nothing like requesting medical advice with a side of toxic positivity.
35. Looking for medical advice, but only if it sounds like a Disney movie.
36. When you skip right past joy and land in ‘maybe don’t say that out loud’ territory.
37. Sometimes it’s better to just say ‘I’m anxious’ and log off.
38. When you treat gestational diabetes like this, not a diagnosis.
39. Nothing says ‘trust me bro’ like self-diagnosing during pregnancy.
40. When your parenting strategy is just wishful thinking.
41. At this point, the real problem is not the juice. It’s the math.
42. Love when parenting advice is ‘just let the toddler win.’ Inspiring stuff.
43. Priorities: 1. Reputation. 2. Actually keeping the kid.
44. Left the toddler in the car but somehow made it all about personal trauma. Incredible work.
45. Nothing like gambling with your kid’s health because Chad has Google.
46. Imagine losing a debate with WebMD Guy while your kid is actively throwing up.
