Anyone who’s spent even a bit of time on social media knows how overwhelming the amount of information there is. While you can definitely find some great sources, pieces of advice, and supportive people online, you also have to filter out the noise. Inevitably, you come across posts that are beyond bizarre, especially when it comes to parenting, a topic that seemingly everyone has an opinion about.

Our team at Bored Panda has collected some of the most unhinged, weird, and confusing posts ever shared in mom groups on the internet. While honesty is commendable, careless oversharing and opinions masquerading as facts can do a lot more harm than good, especially if any impressionable parents are reading your ideas. Scroll down to go down the online parenting group rabbit hole.

    The simple fact is that following every single piece of advice you stumble across online, especially on social media, can be very harmful for you and your children.

    You wouldn’t suddenly change your child’s diet or your entire parenting style just because you saw someone boast about how their approach is amazing and super trendy online. Similarly, you wouldn’t risk your kids’ health because you read someone’s unhinged tirade on social media.

    You need to know how to filter out fact from fiction, recognize what bias looks like, and be very careful about who you listen to. What doesn’t help is that there are a lot of overly confident parents out there who have very loud opinions about, well, pretty much everything: from childcare and education to nutrition, health, and beyond.

    Media literacy fundamentally revolves around looking at a source’s reliability and the information they share to determine whether the claims they make are trustworthy.

    In short, it’s a way to critically evaluate any information you come across, whether you hear it on TV, read about it in the news, find it on your social media feed, or stumble across it in the online groups you’re part of.

    You can take a two-pronged approach to evaluating someone’s claims. First, you can double-check and cross-reference the ideas they share with other sources online. You want to see whether there’s any scientific logic or factual basis behind what someone’s writing or if they’re presenting their subjective opinion as objective fact.

    The drawback is that many people are busy with work, studies, parenting, hobbies, fitness, chores, and (sometimes even) a social life, so it’s very time-consuming to check every little bit of info. To save time, you should evaluate a source’s reliability.

    The second thing you should consider before following parenting (or any other) tips you find online is to consider who is making these claims. Naturally, there are no ‘perfect’ sources as everyone makes mistakes from time to time. But that’s not to say that all sources are equal. Some will be far more objective and trustworthy than others.

    Some key questions to ask yourself when looking at a claim, according to the Center for Media Literacy, are who created the content or was paid to do so, what techniques they’re using to attract your attention and why, and how might someone else understand their message differently than you do.

    You should also consider what values and points of view are represented and omitted in the message, as well as why the message is being sent at all. For example, is someone trying to sell you something or trying to influence you for their own benefit?

    Poor kid. How dare she want to enjoy some peace from her condition. It is easy for mom to say "just deal with it" considering she absolutely can not relate.

    Ibuprofen and paracetamol (acetaminophen) . Yes, the recommended maximum doe on the label may not be as high as the maximum safe dose, so in extreme situations a doctor may prescribe more, like if they're brought into ER with a critically high fever which needs to be reduced as quickly as possible. This mother doesn't understand that giving more medication for everyday problems will not have any greater effect but does run higher risks.

    Yeah go ahead and skip those to give birth to a baby that weighs over 5 kilos. You don't want the midwife to rip you a new one over your stupidity so why not let that huge baby rip you a new one cause that's better. 🤦‍♀️

    That's à problem, since à 4 year old is not really able to wipe properly. OTOH, teachers should have nothing to do with kids' b*tts, as some people will be inclined to acuse them of being p*dos. In France, the pre-k teachers are assisted by ladies, who help the kids deal with logistical problems like putting shoes or coats on, but are also there in case of "accidents" (they can happen at that age) or to accompany à kid to the toilet and help them wipe properly.

    I'm actually just impressed the day care is changing diapers in that 3-5 minute window where the "pre poop" is all alone in the diaper before the main event. I haven't found a day care yet that is that quick on diaper changes.

    This one is not odd. A lot of babies are allergic to cow's milk and goat milk is a great alternative. Obviously breast feed if able but that's not always an option.
