When I hear fathers telling boys to stop crying like a girl. F**k you - men are allowed emotions too you know. I don't think a lot of people realise how damaging that kind of attitude is for the mental health of men in general.

Oh no. Men aren't allowed to show emotions of any kind. They're only allowed to look stoic and grunt; maybe grumble but that may humanize them a little too much.

Is this referring to kids or teenagers? I have a couple of teenager friends who genuinely enjoy being in pageants, and (most likely) weren’t really pushed by their parents into it. Young kids doing it is just weird, but I’d say teens doing it isn’t always bad parenting.

Yep. My son one day insisted on getting a pedi and having his toenails painted, he was 10 at the time. He rocked blue toenails for a week and then had enough of them. My friends loved it, his gran not so much. Nobody in our household paid her any attention. His body, his choice.

I stopped working retail at clothing stores because I couldn’t stand the way parents talk to, especially, young teenage girls. As someone who struggled with mental illness/eating disorders for a long time, there were so many times I wanted to intervene when a parent said their kid looked horrible in something they were really excited to try on.

I got my revenge this summer tho. There was a teenage girl showing her mom these cute overall shorts and begging the mom to let her get them (they were one of the more expensive items in the store) and her mom just kept saying no, you look ridiculous, you look like a toddler, you look like a train conductor, etc. I approached the girl and said they looked good as hell and if it makes her feel good she should get them and wear them always.

I hate when parents don’t realize how severely their negativity can impact their kids.

I was raised by a mother who abused both my dad and me - physically, mentally, emotionally, and verbally. I'm adopted and she basically only adopted me to be a sibling to my parents' bio child. When I didn't turn out to be a "perfect little girl" (around age 5), the beatings started. She even used knives on my dad and I occasionally. She even threatened me with a gun once when I was 7. I'm 40 now and I still go into "shutdown" mode whenever anyone yells at me (or around me). My mom is 79 and my sister tells me I'll "regret" not spending time with her once she's dead. Yeah, nope. My sister never even got hit or screamed at. She's the golden (biological) child.

If your kid is dirty. And I don't just mean juice on their face or some grass stains on their clothes. I mean when the child has obviously not been bathed in days/weeks.

Also, if a child has bad manners and the parents do nothing to correct them. You are raising rude and inconsiderate people.

The first one is obviously not okay on any level but the second one is subjective and really depends on the values someone was brought up with. In my family, good manners at dinner meant simply not burping or farting too often. My husbands family expected good posture, no elbows on tables etc.

Your child's school has a costume day with the theme "dress as your favourite character from your favourite book". The other kids come as Winne the Pooh and Harry Potter and Anne of Green Gables.

Not your kid.

Your kid comes as Mr Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey.

child is sweet smart and extremely hard working but has ADHD. The child does her best in school but does not do well because she just does not learn the way they teach. She is constantly grounded while siblings who get similar grades but have no learning disability are not. This girl is reading constantly and is great in English and history, basically rewrites her siblings english papers. But because she struggles in Maths and sciences she is seen as good as her siblings. This child is constantly put down and her dreams discouraged because she's not "good" enough in school to succeed.

I used to work in a discount variety store. This unwashed, often barefoot woman would often come in with her kids. I thought she was nice enough, until one day her daughter innocently asks if she can buy a lolly, and the mum went OFF. Screamed at this 7 year old kid about how they can't afford it, and I'm not lying, she called her child a c**t. Screamed the word. In public. Her kids were always so well mannered, but they were usually dirty. I felt so bad for them.

I'd be calling social services to do a welfare check. If she's fine with that behaviour in public imagine what goes on behind closed doors. So often no one does or says anything and kids are being abused, right this very second that you are reading this. Please speak up if you see anything amiss. ❤

Went to a farm/corn maze last week and got to witness a man yelling at his ~5 or so year old child for crying. He made him sit in the corner of this barn and kept screaming "JUST STOP CRYING" every 2 minutes. He eventually got up with him, dragged him by his arm and screamed and sweared in his face less than an inch away. I don't know what this kid did or why he was so mad but f**k dude, yelling in their face like that especially in public is just disgusting

About eight years ago I worked at a summer camp and had a nine year old girl in my group, she was tall for her age and skinny like a lot of 9 year old girls, really pretty girl. But she would stop herself from doing normal things like eating s'mores and say things alluding to the fact that at home her mother calls her fat (she's no where near it) and restricts her diet.

It broke my heart. She hadn't even hit puberty and was a charming girl and she was being bullied by her own mother. I spent my week coming up with an outline of things to report to CPS. Not that they could really take her away, but a paper trail is worth it if things ever got worse for the girl.

I really hope that girl has turned out alright. She didn't deserve that.

My mom had eating disorders growing up, & it trickled from her, to me. She would sit across from me at the dinner table & watch every bit I took. Then the, “don’t you think you’ve had enough?” comes out. To this day I struggle to eat in front of people.

When they passively tell their kids "no" but don't actually do anything to stop it when the kid misbehaves. One of my neighbor's kids is like this, and I hate having her over because her mother just lets her wreak havoc.

Yeah this not only doesn't help but probably even does harm. If a child hears "no" but there's no further action or consequence if it's ignored, the child literally gets the message that no doesn't mean no. This is confusing for the kid when later at home no suddenly does mean no and difficult in school when other kids are trying to set boundaries.

Seeing fizzy drinks in baby's or toddler's bottles makes my teeth itch. They don't need the sugar or the caffeine, or simply that much non milk fluid

Edit: there's a few comments asking what kind of drinks I mean. The incident that inspired this was an 8 monthish old with a cola type drink, ie high acid and high sugar, plus caffeine. Carbonated water is different but may have a weird pH so it's worth checking the label imho. Plus heavily gassed liquids are not ideal on anyone's stomach.

Yesterday in the grocery store I was standing in the checkout line behind a man with 2 kids — looked like a 5 and 7 year old.

The kids were being goofballs, but not being wild by any means. The dad wasn’t giving them any instructions, except for over and over again leaning down in their faces and yelling, “Shut! Up!”

Every time he did, his little girl looked up at him with these sad puppy dog eyes. Broke my heart.

Kids that don't respect service workers.

I work in a pub with a play area, the amount of times I've had to discipline children who are climbing on-top of the play equipment or children being voilent. The kids that talk back to me challenging the instructions I give them s**t me up the wall because you can just tell they are the kids that are spoilt to hell and they can do no wrong.

One time I had 3 different complaints about this pack of 13 year old boys in the play area, (breaking the 10 year old limit) because they where being voilent. I went in and gave them a warning, then later received a 4th complaint from a different table. I went in and tried to kick all the voilent children out but the mother came in and gave me the whole "You dare raise your voice at my children" and "you can't tell me how to raise my children". I informed her of the complaints I had received and her responce was "they are only making their cousins cry so it doesn't matter." I was flawed by her logic.

I am a smoker. Yes I know it's bad but we all have vices. My nephew is 4 and since he was born every time I go see him I bring clothes to change into so that I'm not exposing him to my shītty habit. His mom told me I didn't have to do that anymore and I said " I know. He's out of danger of SIDs but still doesn't need to be exposed. Plus now you have asthma from covid so yeah. Still gonna change". I also usually don't smoke during my visit but if I do, I change back into the smokey clothes and when I'm done, change into the clean clothes again. Also wash and sanitize my hands before interacting
