Do not use chemicals such as tan spray near babies! Many will even get rashes from detergent perfumes etc. People really require more education on how harmful many every day substances are. Interestingly, while things we care for ("dirt") typically are totally harmless to babies.

Why are these called parenting fails? It's just parenting. Good luck finding a parent whose child never fell on their face, never ate something they're not supposed to, never had a tantrum, etc. All those things are just part of life.

How do you know that these parents are holding their phones? Or that they even have phones? My guess is your parents, like all of our parents, dropped us, closed a door on our hand etc-and that was before cell phones existed.

Electronics steal the kid's boredom. Its during boredom that they improvise and bring out the creativity. Don't deprive them of the technology, just limit it to the minimum.

And my teachers love the fact that both my kids read well above their age and excel at math far beyond their age level. Why because they use electronics.

Parenting fails are great, and I guess our children will forgive us, for many of these fails ultimately come from the love for the children and the strive to care for them. A few entries, however, reflect selfishness and ignorance on the parents' side. Hard to not be judgemental in these cases, particularly if thoughtlessly endagering the children is proudly posted on the Web as a mere mishap.

As hard as I laughed at some of these (15, 17), I think the bigger parenting fail is subjecting your child to having his or her photo taken rather than remedying the errant situation. I realize many of these photos came about as the parents attempted to capture a happy memory and things didn’t go as expected, but leaving your kid with soggy sunflower seed shells stuck to her face or standing in wet shorts in a puddle of his own urine (just for example, because there were other offenders) so that you can document the mishap seems more cruel than kind. For many of these I got much the same feeling that I did when I used to catch bits of America’s Funniest Home Videos where most of the submissions were of people—including a lot of kids—tripping or getting hit with some flying object. Maybe the videographer’s first instinct was to see if the person was alright, but why was it followed by the need to air the injury on national television so millions of people can laugh at their misfortune?
