Let’s face it, parenting is one of the biggest challenges that we’ll ever have to face in our lives. It’s right up there alongside fighting off an alien invasion, surviving a zombie apocalypse, rocket science, and plugging in a USB cable on the first try. So it’s no wonder that most parents are less than perfect. In fact, it’s pretty much the norm.

However, they’re nowhere near the level that some of the parents featured on the ‘Parents Are Effing Dumb’ subreddit are. There, you’ll find some of the biggest fails that will make you gasp, shout “think of the children!”, and think about taking these people’s parenting license away. Remember to buckle up and upvote the pics that made your jaw drop as you scroll down the rollercoaster that is this descent into parenting weirdness.

When it comes to parenting, both extremes—absolute perfectionism/trying to be a ‘perfect’ parent and not trying hard enough—can be harmful to the family. And while it’s very clear what bad parenting is, perfectionism is more insidious and sneaky and can actually end up being just as harmful as actual neglect or ignorance, though in a very different way. We spoke about the pitfalls of this with an expert in the field of psychology.

    Emma Morton, a researcher at the University of British Columbia, explained to Bored Panda the pitfalls of perfectionist thinking and how it spreads to many areas of a person’s life, contributing to poor mental health and even depression.

    Believing that you should (or even that you can) be a so-called ‘perfect’ parent is actually detrimental to your health. What’s more, the belief that you can control every single outcome can spread to other areas of your life, not just parenting.

    “When we set excessive and inflexible high standards for ourselves and become self-critical about not meeting those, perfectionism can become a problem for our mental health and potentially contribute to depression or suicidal thoughts,” researcher Morton said.

    “Perfectionism is a very insidious problem—even if someone achieves great success in their personal or professional life, negative thinking patterns lead them to be highly self-critical, focus on perceived mistakes, or mentally discount their achievements,” Morton detailed that a perfectionist mindset dims even the biggest victories when we tend to laser-in on the various real and imagined flaws.

    The anxiety surrounding perfectionism is just as much about personal pride as it is about the desire to be respected and liked by others. “People who struggle with perfectionism may worry that they will be judged for their perceived failures, feel that they are inadequate for needing help, or assume they will be a burden on their family and friends,” she said, adding that this can make perfectionists especially vulnerable mentally and emotionally.

    As such, it’s very important that parents who make mistakes with their kids don’t overcorrect and land in the ‘perfectionist’ zone. Similarly, any parents who realize that they’re being inflexible with their standards and are overly critical of their and their kids’ (real or perceived) faults need to learn to hold back and allow room for (at least some) failure. After all, learning to deal with failure and drawing wisdom from our mistakes is what being human is all about. One thing's for sure, though: nobody wants to be that parent who ends up on 'Parents Are Effing Dumb.'

    My MIL collects golli-dolls. I asked her mother (my wife's grandmother) about it a few years back. She told me that after the war, they were left with nothing, rationing was the only thing keeping them fed. She was out begging one day with her infant child (my MIL) and someone gave her a golli doll and she has kept it ever since. The doll, to my MIL, was the first and only gift she would receive as a child and holds huge sentimentality, if her house caught fire, she would try to save them, before her husband. She knows and understands why they are racist, but for her, they represent something else, kindness, charity, safety and childhood.

    They are told they will have to pay higher taxes and socialism, people have run the numbers and the population will be better off financially with universal health care. What really gets me is that cover is linked to employment, no job, no insurance. FYI I live in England as well

    Wait...he had an UNAVOIDABLE hospital visit? I mean the fact you'd make a 7 year old pay off their hospital bill no matter what is ridiculous but you're telling me he went to the ER for something completely out of his hands yet you're acting like it's his fault? My brain hurts trying to puzzle this out.

    It's not acceptable in either case, but I feel like she meant "avoidable", and made a typo. It still is not okay and teaches kids "don't go to mom and dad in case of pain/emergency" which is INCREDIBLY wrong.

    YOU made this kid and YOU are responsible for absolutely ANY and EVERYTHING that involves him until he is 18 years old. Perhaps when you’re elderly and need him, maybe he’ll return the favor and ask for compensation to take care of you. Then again, if you’re fortunate, he’ll develop character over the years and you won’t have to suffer his fate.

    Depending on how this was implemented. This could be good. Budgeting and health aren't really what i was taught in school. Nope, general, "you are this age, you should run this fast, weight this much." If an allowance is given it can provide budgeting. As for the health, was this sick and didn't say anything, is that why the bill is high? Health maintenance and an understanding of your own body. Still steep for a 7 year old.

    This really depends on what happened. My 7 yo lashed out and intentionally did some stupidly dangerous because she wasn't getting her way. Had to go to the ER. I should have done something like this. If unavoidable meant the KID couldn't avoid the accident, yes, they are s**t parents. But if it was unavoidable because the kid intentionally did something that made it unavoidable/ absolutely necessary for them to go to the ER, no, the parents are justified.

    This would make more sense if she said "totally avoidable" instead of "totally unavoidable", I wonder if that's what she meant?

    Unavoidable means it could not have been avoided. Either way, horrific parenting but get your words correct. Idiot.

    I pretend to take a quarter away for s**t behavior but don't actually... The act of believing it is removed is enough (and before you jidge not knowing the whole story/situstions...) I dont becsuse she has a piggy bank for savings and her future self will be so happy all loose change goes to the kids in time.

    Other hand, maybe this is to teach him the value of money, and he's learning to understand that his choices are consequences, by doing chores at home to 'pay off' the money. Maybe he did something really stupid, like he swallowed magnets on a dare, or maybe he lied about agonizing abdominal pain to get out of school, so mom thought he had appendicitis, and rushed him to the ER. Whether this is bad parenting or not depends on the context, and the way the parents are handling it.

    If this was a "game" designed to teach the kid about paying things off in the long run, fine (monopoly money, or perhaps extra allowance banked towards a college fund or something). As it is, it's abominable.

    I want to know more about this story. The parent says it was totally unavoidable and this looks like some sort of game to play with a kid. Like, my dad used to use a bit of money to entice my brother and I to beat him at chess, chores, that kind of stuff. There're probably deeper consequences to using money as encouragement instead of morals, but this was pre-internet when Archie comics made up one entire book shelf. This might be something completely harmless along the same vein as teaching the kid to be helpful or something. I really hope so. Else this is just some really bottom-of-the-barrel scummy parenting.

    You could teach him the valuable lesson that, no matter how hard he works and how good he follows rules, people with power (you in that case) will never let him see a reward for it, let alone have some time to relax and recharge. That will teach him a lot about life. Or push him to burnout/suicide and stuff.

    Oh ffs--this was not a big deal. I took sips of my parent's drinks as a child. SIPS. I wanted to know how it tasted, and no harm was done. I did not get drunk, and I did not grow up to be an alcoholic. I rarely drink as an adult--a few glasses of wine a year and that's about it. Also, people need to stop thinking that North American culture is some kind of moral compass. In Italy and France, children will drink wine mixed with water with dinner. Jesus H. Christ, this scolding "woke" generation is a peevish pain in the ass.

    Pushing it too far. As an old proverb in my country goes: "The excessive saint is not loved even by God."

    And that's how children learn to be careful with fire. This kind of parenting was normal when I was young and I never felt the urge to participate in stupid social media challenges like the Tide Pod Challenge or the Bird Box challenge because I learned you've got to think about all the possible consequences of your actions.

    Not teaching your 6 year old not to draw on furniture. Come on, that is the parenting fail, not the fact that he has white furniture.
