Some parents just don’t care about their children getting a good education. In some countries, the point of a high school education is not to ensure everyone gets the same basic knowledge, but to separate the academically inclined from the not-so-academically inclined and put both groups on paths better suited to their strengths and weaknesses. …

Mom removes pink crayons and markers from her son’s school supplies because she thinks that pink is for girls: ‘Now that boy is going to have to color a flamingo brick red.’
What is her problem? There are a lot of parents who police their children’s gender expression. They don’t allow their girls to dress masculine or get short haircuts out of fear that they’ll be mistaken for boys, and they forbid their sons from playing with dolls or playing dress-up the same way their sisters do. …

Irresponsible parents send their 5-year-old kids to Kindergarten without being potty trained: ‘It’s basically learned helplessness. They know mom is going to change them, so they just don’t care.’
Why would they care if they don’t know a life outside of diapers? Many parents think their kids should be directing their own lives. They think that their 3-year-old will communicate with them about when they’re ready to be potty trained, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Kids need their parents to plan …

Mom cruelly tells her daughter that she is skinner than her, fellow grocery shopper puts her in her place: ‘No, you’re not’
What kind of parent says this to their kid? It’s so common for mothers to want to compete with their daughters that it’s not even worth calling it «novel.» If your mom has ever told you how much she weighed when she gave birth to you or on her wedding day, you may be entitled …

Dad Insists 16-Year-Old Community College Student Son Give Him His School Laptop So He Can Sell It: ‘My Dad Has Been Unemployed Since He Was 35.’
He’s just jealous that his kid is more hardworking than he’ll ever be, and he wants to sabotage him. I will never understand parents who intentionally clip their children’s wings for their own selfish reasons.

Desperate mom asks strangers on the internet to babysit her 6-year-old son for free because she needs a break from him: ‘He gets out of camp at 2:30 and I’m dread it.’
This is a disaster waiting to happen. If you’ve never been a parent, you don’t know how easily you can get sick of your kids. Of course, you love your kids and want to spend time with them, but if you’re spending 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with them, you will want …

Widow mom hid college money meant for her son until he was 48-years-old so that he’d help her around the house for all of his 20s: ‘If I had the money when I was 20, I’d have finished college.’
She did this because she is selfish. I will never understand parents who intentionally clip their children’s wings for their own selfish reasons. They will sabotage career opportunities and relationships that can benefit their kids in the long run merely because it makes them temporarily upset or uncomfortable. I’m sure there are thousands of moms …

Parents Force 18-Year-Old Daughter Out of Her Bedroom so Her 22-Year-Old Unemployed Brother Can Sleep There Instead
They clearly have a double standard when it comes to their children. You shouldn’t disrupt actual children’s lives to accommodate adult children who should be able to take care of themselves. It’s one thing to move your family across the country so that you can be closer to other family members. Your kid might not …

Good citizen confronts neighbor for leaving her 4 and 6-year-old kids home alone for hours at a time: ‘She told me to mind my own business and my own kids.’
The neighbor needs to report this mom to the authorities. How old were you when your parents first started letting you stay home alone? I remember feeling pretty cool when I got to chill at home and eat snacks by myself in 5th grade. My parents couldn’t trust me not to eat a whole jar …
