People Are Sharing Parenting Trends They Disagree With And Here Are 30 Of The Most Hated Ones

Thankfully, a huge number of unvaccinated kids are smarter than their parents, and running full speed to the nearest clinic to get fully vaccinated the millisecond they turn 18, because that's when their parents can't do anything about it but clutch their crystals and huff their essential oils.

There are many school districts in the US, if not most, that require proper vaccinations before the child can attend the school.

My cousin's aren't vaccinated and they haven't vaccinated their children, one of their little ones is constantly sick with different problems with their lungs (actually a history of TB in our family), I really think they need to get the little one vaccinated but she won't hear tell of it and was absolutely raging with the hospital staff for suggesting it.

We must charge Wakefield with genocide.

So happy to see this on top!

Who finds the life of some youtuber's child interesting, apart from creeps?

A few years ago my grandkids, now ages 9 and 7, used to love watching the Swedish Family on YouTube but about 6 months ago they told me that they didn't like it anymore because they could tell the kids didn't want to be on video all the time. Almost everything they did was dictated by how fun it would be on camera. The only income the family has coming in is from sponsors.

People have asked me why I share so many photos of my pets and almost none of my kid. He doesn't particularly want his picture shared and creeps abound online. His choice, not mine.

I’m not on social media like Facebook very often and I definitely wouldn’t put my kids pictures on there for any weirdo to drool over.

This should be on Place 1 !!

A corollary to this is the people who don't tell the kids to say "please" unless the parent plans to say 'yes'. So, kid asks for something, and if the parent is going to refuse, they just say 'no'. But when the kid asks, and the parent is going to say 'yes', they tell the kid, "What do you say?" And the kid says, "Please." And then the parent says 'yes'. What does it teach? The kid thinks that any time they say "please", they should get what the asked for. They get older and they get real pissy about it when someone says 'no'.

No not a hard word, parents don’t use it because they don’t want to deal with their kid, just like going through and getting fast food all the time, then that’s what your child expects for a meal and if you decide you’re going to cook at home your child doesn’t eat, because, hey it didn’t come out of a fast food bah

And that's how a manchild is created

The frightening thing is it's usually the LEAST qualified parents who decide to pull their kids out of school and homeschool them. People who dropped out of high school, or who barely passed. People who can't count dimes without coming up with a five at the end of the total. People who are completely clueless about history, grammar, spelling, basic math, geography, etc. So what TF do they think they're going to be able to teach their kids? How to b***h about making minimum wage? I am really worried about a chunk of the upcoming generations being illiterate and ignorant and incapable of supporting themselves. Remember, these are the kids who will grow up to run the country one day. We might just have an actual Idiocracy in the future.

Used to dread when a previously home-schooled child started at the school I worked in. Firstly 9 times out of 10 they were way behind in their learning, not just academically but in knowing how to socialise with other children. But also the parents were often a nightmare to deal with. One father grabbed me and threatened to punch me when I talked to him about his son's violent bad behaviour - wonder where the son got that from?

It's called "unschooling". They claim the kids learn by doing (i.e., learn math while cooking). But most of them seem to be lazy parents who are afraid their kids will be exposed to other ways of life if they are educated, and then turn their backs on the parents life choices. (Religion, off-the-grid, whatever)

Yes, I understand the hype around Montessori learning and everything, but you can't let your kid choose their education without giving them the basics (reading, writing, arithmetic, basic science, etc)

We homeschooled our kids so that we could do a better job. Instead of high school they went to the local community college. We knew a lot of other home school families. I think most did it to keep their kids away from information they did not agree with like evolution. Yes there are others that did it because they could not get up in the morning. In the US it is regulated by each state ranging from requiring x hours of structured learning per day to passing 3 standardized tests over 12 years.

Too many of these kids look like mini bimbos. So gross.

Little boys shouldn't be wearing ripped pants either. There's no excuse for not buying your child the much cheaper fully sewn pants.

This isn't a parenting issue, it's a society thinking they need to dictate what others think, wear, eat, etc. issue.

Just like with little boys, girls who play rough tend to get holes in their jeans, that is just how things works. A few small holes does not nessesarily mean that you should throw away a pair of jeans, they can still be just fine for certain activities, that is hard on what you are wearing.

I agree that no little girl should be wearing c**p like that. I don't see why women "should" wear it either.

Some parents do not pass on good manners to their children because the have none themselves to pass on.

I am really seeing the effect of failing conversation skills. First, the children often have no idea how to show polite interest in others. They ignore social cues, attempt to dominate conversationally, or express themselves rudely. Also, the children have self-regulation issues because when they attempt to talk to their parents, the parents are inconsistent due to having their own phones as a distraction. As a result, the children have little experience getting consistent feedback from their caregivers and cannot regulate their own emotions very well as a result.

How in the heck do you know parents aren't working on this?
