The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (January 23, 2024)

Parenting is often something that happens behind closed doors. It’s no secret that there’s a big difference between how a parent will reprimand their kid while they’re in public versus at their home. This is mostly due to general social etiquette in public: you’re not going to scream at your kid in a Walmart unless …

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (December 26, 2023)

As I sort through all sorts of cringe parenting texts, I start to see some patterns emerge. It’s wild how many times I’ve seen texts from different parents that all basically say the same thing. They’re always sidestepping their past behavior and blaming their kid for distancing themselves from them. They are willing to insult …

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (December 5, 2023)

Kids can be a real handful, especially when they become teenagers. I wish that we all came out of the womb as master communicators, able to empathetically talk through things with our parents and reach productive conclusions. Too bad, that couldn’t be further from the case. Teens are basically brand new to this world, and …

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (November 21, 2023)

Thanksgiving is mere days away, and you know what that means! Everybody is going to get along perfectly with their family, and nobody will say insane stuff to each other! If you believe that, I’m glad you’ve still got a Candide-esque level of optimism in your soul, but your bubble might burst sooner than later.  …

The Cringiest Text Messages of the Week (November 15, 2023)

I do not like to scroll through my old texts. I try not to delete text messages if I can help it because I never know when I need to find some pertinent information like «What’s the Netflix password?» I keep texts around just in case someone needs to solve my murder, not because they’re …

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (November 14, 2023)

Technology has made parenting so much more complex. Now, you can be more involved than ever, or you can leave your kid to hang out on TikTok unsupervised for all of their waking days. The choice is the parents to make, but there are cases of observing your kid too closely. I was in high …

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (November 7, 2023)

If you look through my texts with my parents, they are anything but dramatic. My mom sends me updates about her day and pictures of their golden retrievers acting the fool. My texts with my dad are probably less interesting than reading the phone book, and I don’t even think phone books exist anymore! He …

Happy Halloween, kids and grown-ups alike! Are you guys ready for a list of spooky parenting texts that will send you into the ghost dimension? Instead of saying «Trick or Treat,» you’ll be screaming, «It seems like these parents should be communicating with their kids in a healthier way!» Instead of hiding from goblins and …

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (October 24, 2023)

I miss the days when you couldn’t communicate deeply over text. You could tell someone you were on your way; you could say «good morning» and «good night,» but that was about as deep as it went. It was recently revealed in the media that Justin Timberlake broke up with Britney Spears over text, which …

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (October 17, 2023)

As I’ve combed through the cringiest parenting texts on the internet, I’ve noticed some patterns emerging. One of them is that many of these texts are between adult children who still live with their parents and said parents. I say this in no way to shame people who live with their parents because of financial …
