No person is perfect, so a perfect parent is someone that doesn’t exist, either. But some parents could really benefit from a course or two, or a reality check, at least.

If you’re wondering what kind of parent that would be, we have a few examples that paint a pretty colorful picture. You can find them on the list below, where we have put some images showing just how ignorant or out of touch some moms and dads are. If you thought yours were difficult, you might find yourself changing your mind by the time you reach the end of the list.

    Er, why is the dog being vaccinated reassuring but the kid doesn’t get the same protection? Add to that that the kid getting tetanus isn’t less likely if the dog is vaccinated anyway, and I’m completely lost. Not as lost as OP and their poor child, though.

    In the UK, children should use a child car seat until they are 12 years old or 135 centimeters (4 ft 5 inches) tall, whichever comes first. After that, they should use a seat belt.
