According to a 2022 survey by the Pew Research Center, about one in four married or cohabiting parents feel judged by people they interact with on online groups, with 7% claiming they experience this always or very often.

And the subreddit 'Insane Parents' is probably responsible for a fair share of the pie. However, once you scroll through this internet community, it becomes hard to blame them.

There's no shortage of moms posting their anti-vaxxer rants on Facebook and overprotective dads who want to forbid their kids from dating for as long as they're alive. So someone has to call them out before they convince anyone that such behavior is acceptable, right?

    Parents That Make Fun Of The Hobbies Of His Kids Are Trash

    Parents That Make Fun Of The Hobbies Of His Kids Are Trash

    Omar_GC16 Report

    A problem that 'Insane Parents' members face is that they are sometimes accused of faking their posts.

    One of the most fascinating aspects of the sub is that the stories told rely on screenshots (often text messages between parent and child).

    This leads to a strange dynamic where posters not only have to "prove" their experiences, but their struggles are also gamified into small, digestible pieces, the most surprising of which get upvoted.

    Very literally the same... I worked in a garment factory in my early 20s and I sewed in the labels and did the iconic embroidery for the famous brands at the time (late 80s to early 90s). The only difference between countless varying brands is the pile it was tossed into after the stitching was completed by thousands and thousands of people like me. Exclusive clothing is a delusion.

    When I was a kid, we couldn't even afford off-brand or Walmart clothes. We wore salvation army, goodwill, 2nd hand (if we were lucky), and donated clothes from other people. Often, before I got a shirt or a pair of jeans, 3 other kids wore it before me, and sometimes one or two wore it AFTER me. We were so poor, I had patches on my patches! Yet ... YET ... I remember being in high school and having TONS of clothes, dozens of shirts, half a dozen suits, more than a dozen pairs of shoes ... almost all of it hand-me-downs. It was awesome!

    @ Similarly Same here. All hand me downs from family friends, thrift stores, second hand shops, discount stores, all old. New to me. I was clothed. My kids now same. They wear what we can afford and is gifted to them. Doesnt matter where from. Except i do ck labels. Try not support countries/companies who pay their employees little or have kids working. If brand new. Offline same check where made so know where our hard earned lil money leftover is going to.

    We were quite poor and my mother had to buy clothes for me in shops that accepted the clothes cheques from social services. What shall I say? My Addidas had sometimes 2 and sometimes 4 stripes. The other kids teased me (off course) but I turned out to be a quite normal guy. Except for the fact that I don't look for brands but for quality and value.

    Dressing kids in expensive brand names is not the flex you think it is, especially if you brag about it and put others down. It just shows you are trash inside wrapped and disguised in what you think is pretty packaging. People with real money don't feel the need to flex and those putting on the Ritz are showing the selves up as wannabes.

    My Parents Did Not Like Me Going Out To Get A Vaccine. Came Back To This

    bigdaddy66669420 Report

    Despite a few negative messages from trolls and the occasional request to prove the screenshots weren't faked, many users think the subreddit is incredibly understanding, with most people helping to validate their feelings.

    "Our sub is first and foremost a support sub," the moderators said.

    They believe the community is a place where teenagers can come and "know that the abuse they've suffered is not a normal experience".

    The good news is that when KidsHealth.org and TIME for Kids surveyed over 9,000 kids ages 8 to 14, 67% said they get along well, or pretty well, with their parents. And that's not all. 85% of them said they have fun with their parents, and 79% said they feel close to their parents.

    Furthermore, even if children get into an argument with a parent, it's not like they immediately mess up their relationship. Most kids — more than 60% — said they usually take a little time and eventually things go back to normal. Some kids said that they make up quickly (28% of younger kids and 18% of older kids.)

    ADVERTISEMENT

    It’s great if you can forgive (and be forgiven) quickly and settle things within the family and without the need to search for support on the internet.

    Like all the times I've been asked to house sit for the duration of my mom's family vacation? Like WTF? I hadn't been invited ONCE until I'd said no and brought up the fact I have never been invited to the FAMILY vacation. Now, she doesn't ask me to house sit anymore and I've still only been invited that once. JFC.
