Creating a person and then being solely responsible for their well-being is no small undertaking. It’s no wonder that parenting choices tend to be a controversial topic. Even more so than ever before, now that moms and dads can open themselves up to scrutiny on social media. It gets to a point where it appears to be counterproductive to the healthy development of both kids and parents.

As a vulnerable population that tends to evoke strong opinions, children are the perfect muse for some good old-fashioned rage-baiting. As a result, there is plenty of content designed to alarm and annoy parents while they are doomscrolling at home.
