25 People Call Out Modern Parenting Trends They Can’t Stand

There’s no one right way to parent, but there are definitely some wrong ways. At least that’s what the internet thinks. Modern parenting trends have become a full-contact sport online, with everyone having opinions about screen time, gentle parenting, and whether kids should be allowed to exist in public spaces.

Reddit had thoughts on this. Lots of them. When someone asked “What is a modern parenting trend that needs to end immediately?” tons of people showed up with answers. Some were reasonable critiques. Some were rants from people who clearly needed to get something off their chest. All of them were brutally honest about what drives them crazy about how other people raise their kids.

Some of it was valid. Some of it was harsh. All of it sparked debate in the comments, because nothing gets people more heated than telling them they’re parenting wrong.
